Aside from Stella's clarification, Melody noted that the previous news posts had disappeared.
"Come, Melody. Let's have a stroll together." After breakfast, Beatrice took Melody for a stroll in the garden. She took Melody's hand and kindly asked, "Melody, did you see the news from yesterday?" The news was so everywhere that Beatrice must have known about it already.
Melody could not keep anything from Beatrice either, so she nodded and said honestly, "Yes, I saw it yesterday." "No wonder I sensed something off between you and Lucas yesterday." Beatrice took her hand and walked forward. "I've taken care of it all. You won't have to deal with those false stories again." As expected, Beatrice's intervention was the reason that it was handled so quickly.
Melody was no longer that bothered by the incident after listening to Lucas 1 explanation yesterday. Thus, she said, "Sorry to make you worry again, Grandma! Lucas and I have already made up since he has explained everything to me." "It's all Lucas' fault. He's married, yet he still doesn't know how to steer clear of troubles like that.

Suddenly, she stopped walking and turned to look at Melody resolutely.
"Melody, you are my granddaughter-in-law! Nothing and no one can ever change that! I won't let anyone mistreat you, including Lucas-1 can assure you of that!" Melody suddenly felt guilty when faced with Beatrice's determined gaze.
But Grandma, we're just a fake couple...' she thought to herself.
Melody pursed her lips lightly and looked down to avoid Beatrice's gaze." Grandma, the sun's out. Let's head back before it gets too hot." "Okay, dearie!" Beatrice did not sense Melody's unease and went back to the house with her.
