Chapter 2060 "Please have a seat." Beatrice and Cedric sat on each end of the long table, while Lucas Melody sat on the side, facing Stella.

Only after Beatrice dug into her food did the rest of them begin to eat. Melody stood up to serve a bowl of chicken soup to the elderly lady.

"Grandma, please have more soup. I oversaw the cook making it. We took out all of the bones from the chicken and made sure the soup had thickened before taking it off the heat. I'm sure you'll love it!" "Thank you, my sweet child. You should eat, too." Beatrice happily accepted the bowl, took a small sip of the soup, and nodded in satisfaction. "Mh, this soup is indeed delicious. It's full of the taste of the chicken. I love how it warms my stomach, making it feel better." Melody nodded while effortlessly picking up the shrimp that Lucas peeled and placed in her bowl.

She liked eating shrimp but was not good at peeling them. She always ended up with greasy hands and could not even get to the shrimp meat. Lucas took over this task to play the role of a loving couple with her, and she was happy to enjoy this rare treatment.

"Chicken soup is good for your health. You should have a bowl of it yourself too later," Melody reminded Lucas with a tilt of her head.

Lucas paused in peeling the shrimp and responded with indifference, "Okay.

He placed the peeled shrimp into Melody's bowl.

Melody handed him a tissue out of gratitude.

They did not need to exchange any words. All of their actions were as natural as if they were ingrained in their bones.

Beatrice was very satisfied to see them being so loving to each other, so much so that she found the particular meal especially enjoyable.

Stella, however, was unable to maintain her usual composure.

"Lucas, these roasted Brussels sprouts are so crisp and refreshing. Would you like some?" Stella tried to maintain a gracious and polite smile. She had never seen Lucas peel shrimp for another woman. She had no idea just what made Melody so great that he would willingly do things for her.

Her arm was tired from holding up the plate of roasted potatoes. Only then did she see Lucas exchanging a glance with Melody. 1 After that, Melody took the plate of roasted potatoes from her hand, saying, "Thanks, but my husband doesn't eat Brussels sprouts, so I'll eat them for him!" Stella frowned. "Melody, what are you doing? I just wanted Lucas to try them. I didn't mean anything else! I've been good friends with Lucas for so many years after all. It's completely normal for friends to share food..." Melody felt her eyelid twitch. 'This woman is truly a natural actress. But she should read the room before acting all pitiful.' Melody was a tad unhappy. She did not have any other intention than to help Lucas eat the food he did not like. "It's true. I don't like Brussels sprouts. Melody meant no harm. She just doesn't want you to feel awkward. After all, you're the guest, so she thought she'd accept your kindness on my behalf." The corners of Stella's lips twitched upon hearing the word 'guest' slip from Lucas's mouth, and her face could not look any more unpleasant.

The interactions between Lucas and Melody deeply stung Stella.
