Chapter 2007 Stella felt embarrassed when Lucas pulled his arm away from her.
However, she hid it away with a smile and said, "Oh, my bad. What was I thinking? Sorry, Lucas. I'll make sure to cup with a better plan for your next birthday." She held his arm again. "Don't be angry with me, please? It's your birthday today, so you should be happy!" "I'm not angry." Lucas sighed. He could not be mad at a face like that.
"Thank you." Stella smiled cheerfully. "I've booked a room at the club next door. Let's go there for a drink and celebrate your birthday with everyone! I know you're not a fan of sweets, but you must take a bite of this cake. After all, I went to a lot of trouble to get this cake!" Stella did not seem to be taking no for an answer, so Lucas glanced at Melody who was standing next to him. He contemplated for a moment before nodding.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I knew you'd agree." Stella stood at his side with a big smile. She was relieved that he did not turn her down. "Let's go, everyone! It's party time!" said Stella to the crowd.
Everyone cheered and gathered around Lucas and Stella as they moved to the club. Melody was being pushed away from Lucas. She stood still and watched Lucas leave the room with the crowd.
Melody was not interested in partying with a group of strangers, especially when Stella was around. After hesitating for a while, she decided to still go in the end.
She would not have known it was Lucas' birthday if Stella had not thrown a party for him. That explained why Beatrice bought the movie tickets so randomly and asked them to go for a movie. It was to celebrate Lucas' birthday.
She always assumed that Lucas was not a responsible husband, but apparently, neither was she as a wife. Even though they were married by contract, she should at least know her husband's birthday, so that she could at least prepare something for him, like what Stella had done.
While Melody was walking behind the crowd, Lucas turned around to look at her. Melody forced a reassuring smile when she met his eyes.
When they arrived at the club, all eyes were on Lucas since he was the birthday boy.
"Mister Lucas, this is a gift from US. It took US quite a while to choose. Hope you'll like it!" said the crew as they presented their gift to Lucas.

Meanwhile, Melody sat in a corner, trying to avoid unnecessary attention. She did not know it was Lucas' birthday, so of course she had not prepared any gifts for him. It would be awkward if they found that she had prepared nothing for her husband.
"Miss Melody." Stella cand passed her a glass of wine. "Why are you sitting here alone? Come, join US for a drink."
Melody took the glass of wine and answered embarrassedly, "Oh I'm afraid of ruining the fun since I don't know anyone here." "Everyone here is a friend of Lucas' and myself. You're Lucas' friend, so that makes you a friend of ours, too."
For sreason, Stella sounded like she was the hostess-as if she was Lucas' wife instead of Melody. Melody could feel bitterness rising in her heart, but she kept it to herself.
"Thank you, Miss Stella. But please, go ahead and enjoy yourself with the others. Don't mind t mind me. Melody just wanted to sit unnoticed and wait quietly for the party to end. "Okay. Do make yourself at home, Miss Stella," said Stella with an ironic smile.
Melody let out a long sigh once Stella left and continued to sit in her corner.
