Beatrice nodded. She understood Lucas' character well, especially his occasional bouts of obstinance. Moreover, she observed a level of tolerance in his relationship with Melody that he rarely extended to other people.

Lucas' interactions with Thalia seemed like tolerance, but Thalia usually based her actions on Lucas' every move. She maintained certain boundaries despite playing coy and teasing him. The fear of Lucas growing bored with her held Thalia back from crossing any lines that could make him turn away without a second glance. When it cto Melody, however, the dynamic changed entirely. They showed tolerance toward each other, and Melody unknowingly influenced Lucas to do things he never considered doing before. Whenever he argued with her, he discovered that he could repeatedly lower his once unyielding bottom line for each person. There were even instances when he was willing to forgo countless things as long as Melody paid attention to him.

Melody, however, remained oblivious to those revelations. From her perspective, she and Lucas were always at odds with each other.

As an observer, Beatrice quickly noticed those little details. Few were brave enough to argue with Lucas, and even those from families with backgrounds almost equal to theirs would defer to him. Having weathered the cutthroat world of business, Lucas exuded a cold and decisive demeanor when dealing with peers. Meanwhile, Melody was fearless when facing him, demonstrating her unique place in Lucas' heart.

"Your hands must be freezing after being outside for so long. It's about twe go back in. Lucas won't be happy withif the cold wind from our little stroll affects your recovery," the old lady advised. She was concerned about Melody's well-being, and Lucas had grown so attentive to her health that he even fretted over minor injuries.

Melody felt a pang of embarrassment. Lucas' concern had reached an unprecedented level. Even a minor scratch on her finger could becthe subject of lengthy interrogation, which Beatrice was very pleased about.

By the tthey returned, Melody's internal turmoil had eased greatly. There was nothing she could do about the situation-it was not like she could change the fact that Thalia's sister had already sacrificed her life to save Lucas.

When they returned to the house, Lucas was busy making stortellini with Cedric and Thalia. Cedric had very tactfully stood between Thalia and Lucas, thus maintaining their gap with each other. Beatrice was very happy to see that.

"Ah, I see you're learning to make tortellini now," Beatrice said to Lucas as he scooped sfilling.

Melody had already gone off to wash her hands and join them when she was halted.

"You're still recovering," Beatrice said. "Don't exert yourself." Search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Melody wanted to join in because everyone was working together to do it, but Thalia slipped in a remark, "Let us handle this. Your body is still healing."

Lucas recalled Melody telling him at the hospital that she wanted to eat something similar, and that it would befigured enjoyable for Melody to have a freshly made, piping-hot serving at home. Lynette had specifically prepared the filling to suit Melody's tastes.

Lucas gestured for Melody to rest on the sofa, clearly suggesting that he would be incredibly pleased if Melody sat on the sofa and watched stelevision.

Melody rolled her eyes at Lucas and made a gentle complaint. "They already allowedto leave them hospital so'm sure I'll be allowed to do something this simple. Are you going to coddlelike a baby and letdo nothing but eat and laze around all day?" Lucas raised an eyebrow, still struggling to match the dexterity of his grandparents but surpassing Thalia's attempts.
