NovelOnlineChapter 1931 Melody felt disgusted with herself at the thought of being defiled by William. Filled with anger, all she wanted was to get out of there and find out what Ethan and Helen were really up to.
However, the bathroom door swung open just when she reached the hotel room door.

"Ah!" Melody screamed and covered her eyes shyly. "What... What are you doing here?!" "Who were you hoping to find here?" Lucas asked.
Melody was wearing Lucas' white shirt, and her slender legs captivated his gaze. He furrowed his brows slightly, and his Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed.
Melody was made uncomfortable by the way Lucas was staring at her. She awkwardly moved to the side and picked up the blanket to cover her legs.
"Um, I couldn't find my clothes, so I just grabbed something to wear. Is this your shirt?" "Yeah. Whose shirt do you think it is?" Lucas walked over and sat on the sofa. Did you perhaps think it was Mister William's?" The mention of William shocked Melody. "How do you even know about Mister William?" "Melody, I don't ask anything from you. But during our agreement, please make sure you don't do anything to bring disgrace to my family's name." Melody lowered her head. "Sorry, it was my fault. I got careless and almost got into trouble. I promise it won't happen again! Um... Did you saveyesterday? Then, did we..." 'Mister William must've spiked my drinks last night. If it was Lucas who saved me, then maybe we did...' The thought made Melody lower her head even further as she did not dare to meet Lucas' eyes again. While she was not exactly hoping for something to happen between her and Lucas, she would choose him over the disgusting William any day.
"You wish!" said Lucas teasingly.

Lucas casually grabbed his coffee from the table and took a sip. "No. Even though you're my wife only in name, I'm not about to let anyone mess with what's mine." Melody sighed in relief. 'Thank god nothing happened last night!' Whether it be William or Lucas, she did not want anything to happen while she was passed out drunk. Thus, she was beyond relieved to hear nothing happened last night.
"Oh... Thank you for saving me!" said Melody sincerely. Had it not been for Lucas, she surely would not have escaped! She could not fathom how she would have felt waking up to William's violation. What kind of emotions would have overwhelmed her, and what beliefs she would need to have the strength to keep going? Thankfully, Lucas' interference altered the entire story.
"Don't thank me. I saved you for more than just your sake."
Lucas set his coffee aside, crossed his legs, and looked at Melody with utmost seriousness. "Melody, I'm sure you haven't forgotten your current role as Missus Rivera, right?"
"Of course not!" Melody felt a bit uneasy under Lucas' intense stare. She sat up involuntarily. "I'm sorry. ve There were sunusual circumstances that ledto meet Mister William yesterday. It's not what you might be thinking."
Lucas continued to gaze at her indifferently. "It'll be a scandal for my family if word gets out you my wife, had a fling with someone else. Also, ་ཤ our deal is for a year. During this time, please avoid getting into affairs with other men. I need you to keep that in mind." It was the most Lucas had spoken since Melody had known him.
Melody was caught off-guard by Lucas' statement. After a brief moment of bewilderment, she hurriedly waved her hands. "It's not what you think. I can explain." Melody suddenly stood up, anxious to prove her innocence. In her haste, she forgot that she was not wearing anything underneath, thus revealing her naked legs again.
