Lucas pointed at Ste''s cheek but made no attempts to wipe it for her.


    Ste reluctantly allowed him to stay in the room while she excused herself to the bathroom.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Wait here. I''ll make some coffee for us once I''m done!" Ste announced as she headed to the kitchen.


    Lucas nodded and bided his time until Ste left the room. He began searching as soon as he was done. Time was of the essence, and he had earlier deduced that the closet seemed to be the most likely ce for Ste to hide the evidence.


    Ste had gone off to check her makeup and see if there were any ck marks present. She looked at the makeup on her cheek and thought that perhaps Lucas misunderstood the markings as some dust. Determined to make Lucas hers for the night, she took out her cosmetics and reapplied them.


    Aside from the closet, he realized that Ste had a whole room dedicated to her wardrobe. Tucked away in a corner among all the branded luxury clothes that she had were the clothes Melody had worn. Ste probably did not pay attention to putting them away because she was in a rush.


    Ste, still oblivious to Lucas'' intention, leisurely picked the most expensive packet of coffee beans. In her opinion, only the finest roast was worthy of Lucas'' pte. They would soon spend their first night together, so everything had to be perfect.


    Ste blushed when she daydreamed about that. Years and years had passed since she met Lucas as a child, and she ultimately won his heart despite the challenges that they faced.


    Judging from all that happened that day, Lucas no longer cared about Melody.


    She snickered and wondered if Melody could still smile after knowing that Lucas was with her.


    With two cups of freshly brewed coffee prepared, Ste returned to her room. "Coffee''s ready, Lucas! I made it without sugar, just the way you like it!"


    However, her joy turned to confusion as she discovered that Lucas was nowhere to be found.


    "Lucas? Where are you? Come out quick! Don''t y hide and seek with me," Ste called out as she searched the restroom and her wardrobe for Lucas. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air.


    "Lucas? Lucas!" Frustrated, she finished her coffee in one gulp. She did not like the way he left all of a sudden and felt that she had been strung along. All she could think of was that he must have left because of something urgent.


    Ste''s attempts to reach Lucas'' phone went unanswered, as he had already driven home with Melody''s clothes on the passenger seat. His eagerness to go home was finally apparent in his expression. He had not disclosed his n to Melody earlier because he feared that she might get sad if things would not go as nned.
