Chapter 1954 Melody rubbed her temples as she sat on the sofa. She felt drained, and she was just about to close her eyes for a moment's rest when her phone buzzed with a message.

Thinking it was a reply from Lucas, she opened her eyes slowly and picked up the phone.

[Hey, Melody. Have you slept?] The message was from Sherman, rather than Lucas.

She typed back in a neutral reply. [Not yet, but soon. Thanks for sendingback today.] [You're welcome. We should keep in touch. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.] Melody stared at the phone for a while and sent a polite emoji in response before setting it aside.

Lucas had returned, and she wondered if he had seen her message.

Tired from the day's events, Lucas entered the house and headed upstairs after taking off his shoes.

"Lucas," Beatrice called out from the living room. "Why did you return so late?" "There was an issue at the company. Why are you still up, Grandma?" Lucas asked and turned to look at the old lady.

As Beatrice approached, a whiff of unfamiliar perfreached her nose. That scent certainly did not belong to Melody as she never used any perfumes.

"Cwithto the study. We need to talk," Beatrice said as she walked toward the study with a sullen expression.

Lucas frowned and thought over it for a moment before following her in.

"Sit down," Beatrice said firmly. ' Melody is a good girl, Lucas."

Lucas raised his eyebrows. "Why are you tellingthat alle He wondered what it was that Melody did to be praised in such a manner.

"Where did you go after the banquet?" Beatrice pressed, seeing his intention to avoid the topic.

Lucas thought for a moment before answering, "Something cup at the company, so I had to go there. Why is that an issue, Grandma?" X
