Chapter 2065 "I don't know your past as well as Miss Stella does, nor do I have a clear understanding of what you do every day, so I'd appreciate it if you could ask Edmund to sendan overview, otherwise, we might be exposed when we perform in front of Grandma the next time. That... would be troublesome." Lucas' face darkened. "You'll know everything aboutif you put in a little effort on caring about me, but you're right. There's no one else here now, so we don't need to put on an act anymore. You stay here. I'll go to the study to go over sdocuments." Lucas walked away without even looking back. Melody turned and picked up her script. It was as if she pretended not to hear the sound of him leaving until she was only left with herself in the room and the gradually fading scent of Lucas.

Both of them busied themselves with their own tasks, but only Melody knew that she was zoning out while pretending to read the script. Her mind was a mess, thinking only about Lucas.

'Nothing good ever comes out of marrying somebody out of your league,' thought Melody. It was exactly what she was experiencing at that moment.

She found it somewhat ironic. After all, she was the one who was secretly catching feelings for Lucas. He did not do anything wrong at all.

Not only had he not done anything wrong, but he had helped her a lot by lending her money to get her out of her plight.

'He hadn't done anything wrong. He just... He just doesn't like me...' thought Melody.

Most importantly, the two of them were worlds apart. He cfrom one of the wealthiest, prominent families in the country, while she was a nobody. Melody set the script aside and hugged her knees sadly. To Lucas, she was just a hired actress, yet she was fantasizing about whether he might develop feelings for her.

'This isn't right,' Melody admonished herself. It was like waiting for a ship that would never appear at the airport. It was best if she stopped deluding herself with thoughts she should not even have in the first place.

She would have enough money to pay him back once she got paid for acting in 'War Song'. Plus, once the year was up, she could rely on her own skills to support herself. At least then she could stand tall in front of him.

"Con, Melody, you can do it!" she told herself.

Melody composed herself, picked up the script, and began to focus on it.

Meanwhile, in the study...

Lucas maintained the sposture for a long time. He could not understand why Melody's temper was more unpredictable than the summer weather. She could change from being happy to being angry in the blink of an eye.

'She treatslike the best thing in the world whenever Grandma and O Stella are around, but all that m changes the moment they leave. It's as if she can't wait to get rid of me,' thought Lucas. He could not quite pinpoint when he started noticing Melody's subtle emotions. He only knew that her indifferent demeanor made him feel at a loss for what to do.

"What does she really want from me?" he asked himself.

Lucas, usually decisive in business, felt a headache for the first tdue to matters Toom complicate matters, Melody was ignoring him, and he found himself unable to focus on anything.

It seemed like he hoped Melody would always maintain the sdemeanor they had when performing in front of Beatrice. He wanted to touch her whenever, wherever, and savor the fragrance of her hair without reservation. After realizing the change in his own feelings, Lucas narrowed his eyes and contemplated for a long time.
