Melody had decided to take a break after the filming ended before picking up other roles. She wanted to dedicate some quality time with Beatrice and Cedric, especially since they were getting older. Beatrice was overjoyed to hear that. "Oh, my child, how can I ever find you annoying? You''re the most well-behaved child I''ve ever met. I couldn''t be any happier to have you as my granddaughter-inw!" Cedric was also in a good mood.


    Melody felt her eyes well up when she saw all the food she likedid out on the table.


    "I heard from Lucas that you wereing back, so I had Lte make all your favorite food. You must''ve been missing home-cooked meals during this time away. Take a look at the grilled spare ribs. Lte and I picked out the freshest pork ribs in the market to make them. I guarantee you''ll enjoy every bite..."


    Beatrice continued introducing the dishes, and Melody could not help but wonder when the two elderly folks had started nning for this meal. She suddenly felt a pang of regret. If she had returned home without telling them beforehand, the elderly couple would not have had to go through all this trouble.


    They had put in so much effort for them, yet they would be leaving again tomorrow morning. It seemed like too much trouble for just one meal!


    Lucas seemed to sense what Melody was thinking and gently patted her back. "Telling them earlier was also to make them happy sooner. It''s always better to know in advance and be happy about it than toe back suddenly, don''t you think?"


    Melody stopped overthinking and nodded when she heard that.


    "You''re right. I''ll make sure toe back more often from now on." Melody took a deep breath, not wanting to spoil the mood of the two elderly people.


    She eagerly sat down at the dining table, and Beatrice kept serving her food. Melody did not want to disappoint her, so she cleaned her te with relish, enjoying every bite of the home-cooked food.


    "Sure enough, nothing beats


    home-cooked meals!" said Melody


    after finishing the dessert while


    patting her tummy with satisfaction,


    which made Beatrice beamed with

    "If it''s that delicious, then you shoulde back often. With Lte here to help, I don''t have to do much at all," replied Beatrice.


    Melody nodded with a smile. "I definitely will."


    Melody intended to chat with Beatrice and Cedric after dinner, but she could not resist the drowsiness and soon found herself dozing off on the sofa.


    Lucas gently lifted her chin to make


    her morefortable, letting her rest on his shoulder, before quietly exining to Beatrice, "Since the filming ising to an end, she''s been waking up at four or five o''clock every morning, not getting back until around eleven or twelve at night. I could only bring her home today because she wrapped up her afternoon scene earlier than expected."


    Beatrice and Cedric could not help but feel sorry for Melody. They urged Lucas to take her to the bedroom to rest.


    "She''ll catch a cold if she sleeps on the sofa. Besides, she''ll be done with work soon. Afterward, she cane back and spend more time with us."


    As Melody was justid down by Lucas, she woke suddenly and asked drowsily, "Where''s Grandma and Grandpa?"


    Lucas gently caressed her cheek. "Go back to sleep. I''ll go downstairs and chat with them."


    "No. I finally came back for a visit. I want to talk to Grandma more..." Before she could finish her sentence, Melody fell back into a deep sleep.


    Watching Melody like this, Lucas felt


    content and kissed her forehead He


    realized that all he had pursued


    before was for this moment of


    tranquility. As long as he had her by


    his side, he was fulfilled. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Downstairs, Lucas found that Cedric had disappeared somewhere, leaving Beatrice alone on the sofa, sipping tea.
