The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"So, do you want to go? You've never accepted any magazine interviews before!"

Melody looked at Lucas, slightly suspicious. 'If he didn't like it before, then he definitely wouldn't like it now. The only reason he's bringing this up is because he's throwing a tantrum.'

"A magazine wants us for a couple's cover shoot? Great, let's go. What I don't like is those paparazzi secretly taking photos of me. That and the magazine cover shoot are totally different. Don't tell me you're going to argue otherwise."

Lucas pinched Melody's cheek and kissed her lips, making her pout.

"What am I arguing about?"

"You know exactly what."

"Fine, if you want to go, I'll have Paige handle it. She's going to screen-pick which magazine we'll do so that it won't tarnish your status as the company president. Come pick me up tonight, alright?"

Lucas half-turned his body proudly. "Do I have to pick you up just because you've asked me to? You think I don't have a job? Maybe I'll have to work overtime tonight. I'm certainly not as free as you think I am!"Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yeah, yeah, I know a company president like you is very busy, so that's why I'm booking you in advance. Can you please, please make time to pick me up tonight? I don't want Paige to drive me back. It's not safe for her to drive alone at night."

Lucas frowned unconsciously. "So in the end, you're asking me to pick you up because you're worried about Paige's safety, right?"

Melody chuckled. "Oh my, you're getting more jealous. Of course, that's part of the reason, but the main thing is I want to see you.

Being apart from you for an honet

feels like a year. Besides, the

roadshow was quite an important

to see you as soon as it ends. Only then will I

event, so of course I wenet

feel at ease."

Melody looked into Lucas's eyes earnestly, causing his heart to beat even faster. Of course, he did not show it on his face, but he nodded graciously in the end. "Don't drink too much, or you'll have a headache the next day, okay?"

Melody nodded meekly and snuggled happily against Lucas' chest. She felt like time had stood still as a wave of contentment washed over her.

She had never dared to expect such happiness before, even when Lucas appeared before her. Even when she fell in love with him, she would only keep her affection hidden in her heart. She never thought she, given her status, could develop any kind of refationship with him, nor did she think they would be able to live happily ever after as a married couple.

After enduring so much hardship in her life, she was finally rewarded with this loving relationship. Heaven gave her a chance to walk hand in

hand with Lucas, so how could she not be grateful?

Even though a lot had happened in between, the fact that they could be together in the end was enough to make Melody feel thankful.

Every morning when she woke up, she could not help but marvel at her life. She could not believe she could have such a good life; heaven had truly been kind to her. "Lucas, I love you so much," Melody could not help but exclaim.

Lucas replied with a kiss on her forehead. "I love you too. Now, go. Don't keep others waiting. I'll come pick you up tonight."
