NovelOnlineChapter 2064 Finally, not wanting to be humiliated anymore, Stella made up an excuse and bade the Riveras farewell.
Beatrice did not bother keeping her. Lucas just lifted his chin, signaling a servant to see her off without any attempt to persuade her to stay.
Melody looked at Beatrice, and then at Lucas, thinking that it would be rude to have a servant see Stella off. However, when she raised her head, she saw Stella glaring at her fiercely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelody furrowed her brow when she sensed the hostility coming from Stella. 'Why is she looking atlike that? Forget it. I was thinking of seeing her off, but I don't want to be alone with her now. Who knows what tricks she might pull onagain?' After Stella left, Beatrice had her maid take her back to her room. Lucas and Melody also returned to their rooms since they no longer had to act.
Melody sat on the sofa in the bedroom, assuming a possessive posture without leaving any space for Lucas. Lucas glanced at her, then proceeded to unbutton his cuffs, take off his shirt, and casually toss it onto the table in the walk-in wardrobe. Every action of his seemed to be telling her that he was not happy.
Just a moment ago, Melody was intimately leaning on him downstairs. The moment others left, she immediately distanced herself, claiming the entire sofa.
'Does she not wantto get close to her at all? She's quite the dedicated actress. She's the gentle Missus Rivera publicly, but behind closed doors, she can't wait to keepat arm's length. She's behaving as if I'm poisonous!' thought Lucas.
"You won't be able to find your clothes when it's tto wash if you throw them around like that," grumbled Melody.
She then stood up. Although her tone was disdainful, her actions showed that she was going to help tidy up his clothes so that the servants could pick them up together for laundry later.
However, Lucas blocked her path. He smirked sarcastically at her before asking, "In what capacity are you tidying up my clothes fornow? As my wife? Or should I still address you as Miss Melody?" "What do you mean by that? If you don't wantto touch your things, just tell me." Melody bit her lip, a subconscious expression of feeling wronged. She should not have meddled and helped him at all. She knew she should not feel this way, but she could not help it! Lucas had never uttered a harsh word to Stella before. When it all cdown to it, Melody felt like she did not have the srespect from Lucas as Stella did.
Just a moment ago, everything was fine downstairs. However, Lucas completely changed his demeanor the moment Stella left.

'What was I thinking? I shouldn't have crossed that line in the first place. was the one who made the mistake of thinking he might have sgenuine feelings for me...' Between the two of them, there was a clear agreement. When no one else was around, Lucas was just Lucas, and she was merely Melody, not Missus Rivera.
'He and Miss Stella have known each other since childhood, while I've only known him for a few months. Of course hea 'd care about her more than me. What right do I have to be so presumptuous?' Melody took a deep breath, swallowing all of her grievances. After all, it was not like his heart would go out for her.
"Sorry, I've overstepped. I shouldn't have involved myself in these matters. Thank you, Lucas, for the reminder. Even though ham an m actress low, still can't compare to you when it comes to acting. Your acting is so natural and effortless. It's like you can go in and out of character as easily as breathing. Truly...you get out of character even faster than getting into character. I should learn from you." Although she was speaking with a smile on her face, Lucas could not help but feel like her words were dripping with sarcasm.
"What are you trying to say?" He took a step forward, attempting to hold Melody's hand as he did before, but she avoided him.
