"Do you think I''d sleep with other women behind your back?"


    Not only did Lucas find this incident embarrassing, but he also found Melody''s attitude frustrating. Did none of his actions matter to her?


    Was she not even jealous or saddened when she saw supposed intimate photos of him with other women? What even was their rtionship?


    Has this woman ever had any feelings for him?


    Melody was surprised by Lucas'' attitude.


    "You took these photos with another woman. I didn''t force you to take them. You should be the one exining yourself!"


    Lucas restrained his inadvertent vulnerability and straightened himself arrogantly. "It seems you have no feelings for me at all; that''s why you feel nothing."


    Beatrice never expected that the two people would start arguing before she finished her exnation, and she stopped them.


    "Stop! Can''t you guys hear me out?


    "Lucas, do you not have any doubts at all about this? How could you have taken and sent intimate photos like that when you''re clueless about it? This was Thalia''s work. You know, the girl whom you always thought was very kind?Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Thalia snuck into your study that night and took these photos with you. It is a pity that I went at the wrong time, or I would''ve caught her in action."


    Lucas was expressionless. "When did she take the photos? Grandma, did you make a mistake? Howe I didn''t remember anything of that nature?"


    Cedric pped him hard and said, "You still can''t connect the dots, can you? It was Thalia who spiked your milk to make you fall asleep! That''s why you had no recollection of it.


    "You fool! You had been taken advantage of by others even in your own home. Who knows if you''d be poisoned to death by others in your sleep one day!" Cedric''s tone was stern, and he was really angry this time.


    Lucas'' cluelessness to one''s character might bring him disastrous consequences. Both Beatrice and Cedric raised him, and


    thest thing they wanted to see was him getting hurt.


    Cedric wanted Lucas to realize that Thalia was not a kind person. It was best for him to stay as far away from such a woman as possible.


    "Thalia? Why would she do this? Did you two make a mistake? I mean, why would she take such photos? Nothing is going on between me and her..."


    Lucas looked at Melody. She had been silent since the beginning, like a statue.


    "Yeah, what do you think that


    woman is up to when she took these photos and sent them to Melody? Of


    course she meant to interfere with the two of you and make Melody back down!


    "Sometimes I really don''t know where your brain goes. Are you so confused emotionally after spending too much energy on work?"


    Beatrice looked utterly disappointed, and Lucas could only face the heat silently.


    "Even now, you''d rather believe Thalia than believe what we say?"


    Beatrice sighed. Her grandson excelled at everything, but he was always slow when it came to matters of the heart.


    She and her husband could see clearly that he obviously adored Melody, but he messed everything up.
