Chapter 1907 Ethan left without giving Helen a chance to explain herself.

Seeing Helen's panic, Wendy approached and gently held her hand. She put on a fake smile and said, "Don't worry, Helen. This is all on Melody alone. I'll talk to Dad and make sure he knows you're not to blfor her mistakes." Wendy's words brought relief to Helen. She said gratefully, "Wendy, you're such a sweet kid. It's good to know all the love and care I've shown you over the years hasn't ended in vain." Melody felt at a loss for words after her father hung up on her. It was just so unbelievable how Wendy would try to set her up and cause trouble at hfor her like that.

The hshe once considered a haven was in complete chaos. Melody's emotions were in turmoil, and she had no idea where to turn.

Even without any evidence, her parents would still buy into Melody's guilt just because of a few words from Wendy. No matter how much she tried to explain, it was just pointless.

It was just like back in elementary school. Even though it was Wendy who started the fight, it was Melody who ended up being scolded and punished. As long as Wendy cried and claimed she was the one being bullied, Ethan and Helen would always unconditionally take Wendy's side.

There was never a place for her in the family nor someone she could turn to. Thus, if she were at that moment, what awaited her would surely be reprimands from Ethan and Helen, and the delight and mockery from Wendy.

Somehow, she had grown used to the mess that had been her life for over two decades.

However, a sudden wave of fatigue suddenly washed over her, and she just felt so tired.

She turned around and stared at the mansion in front of her for a long time. Finally, she mustered the courage to walk back and knocked on the door.

The door opened again, and inside stood Lucas.

"Can I still sign that agreement we discussed earlier?" she asked hesitantly.

Lucas was somewhat surprised by her unexpected return, but it was not bad news for him. He gave a subtle nod and let Melody in.

As she settled back onto the sofa, Melody appeared a bit uneasy. "I'm sorry. I know this change of mind isn't ideal, but I do have my reasons for it. It Lucas was not interested in delving into her reasons. Instead, he simply said, "Let's just focus on the agreement." Lucas did not care why Melody returned or what drove her to do so. All he desired was a wife who could please his grandparents, thereby avoiding unnecessary trouble.

"Alright." Melody suddenly felt her earlier words were a bit too much. She reached out and picked up the agreement, examining it even more carefully than before.

The marriage contract laid everything out clearly: They had to legally m register their marriage and five together, presenting themselves as a pair of genuine husband and wife to outsiders. Lucas wanted Melody to play the perfect wife in public, making the family elders happy. In return, Melody would receive a generous sum of money.

Money was not her priority as she simply wanted a temporary place to stay without returning home.

After reading through the agreement, Melody placed it back on the table." I'm willing to go through with this and marry you, but on one condition."

From the outset, Lucas had anticipated that a woman like her might make shefty demands After all, he decided to use her as a shield against his grandparents' nagging, and registering marriage was no small matter. It was only reasonable to go along with any condition she might have. "Go ahead," he said impassively.
