"Yes, Grandma. I understand what you mean. Don''t worry," replied Lucas.


    Satisfied, Beatrice said, "Alright, I''ll be waiting for both of you toe back. Let Melody know that we''ll be making her favorite food for dinner."N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "Alright. Please ask the cook to make some soup. She really liked the chicken soupst time," added Lucas.


    Beatrice became even happier at Lucas remembering what Melody liked, causing her to smile like a blooming flower.


    After hanging up the phone, she called Cedric over to join her in the kitchen to oversee the preparation of dinner. "I''m so happy. That boy Lucas has finally learned to care for Melody!" said Beatrice emotionally. Cedric, on the other hand, felt that she was too overly concerned before. "Men will naturally learn once they''ve met someone they like. We don''t need to worry ourselves with them. They''ll find it annoying if we meddle too much."


    After hanging up the phone, Lucas turned around and with amanding tone-said, "Free up your evening. We''re going back to have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma." "Okay," said Melody with a resigned sigh.


    During the contract period, all her time belonged to Lucas. She performed during the day and continued acting at night. She wondered when this kind of life woulde to an end.


    They each upied one side in the backseat of the car. When they arrived home, Lucas asked her to stay in the car for a moment. He got out first, walked over to her side, and opened the car door for her. "Missus Rivera, are you ready?" Lucas extended a hand. There was a fleeting hint of ''gentleness'' in his gaze.


    Melody forced a stiff smile. "Of course I''m ready, Mister Rivera. I''m a professional, after all."


    They walked hand-in-hand through the door.


    "Grandpa, Grandma, we''re back to have dinner with you. What delicious food have you prepared for tonight?"


    As soon as Beatrice heard Melody''s voice, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. Cedric was also quite pleased with his granddaughter-inw.


    In their eyes, Lucas had all the good qualities but was a bit reserved. On the other hand, Melody had a good personality and loved to talk andugh, so the twoplemented each other perfectly. Melody released Lucas''s hand and went to join Beatrice, linking her arm with hers.


    "Grandma, what are we having for dinner tonight? I could smell something wonderful even at the door."


    Beatrice affectionately pinched Melody''s nose. "You''ve got quite the nose there. You liked the chicken soupst time, right? Lucas specifically reminded me to make it again!"


    Lucas greeted Cedric, and then Melody and Beatrice sat on the sofa. Melody nced at Lucas inadvertently, surprised that he even knew she liked that chicken soup.


    Lucas turned, narrowing his eyes as he observed her difort on the sofa. He waved her over.


    Melody could not refuse since Beatrice and Cedric were present, so she went over.


    "What''s the matter?" Melody asked as she sat beside him.
