Chapter 1914 "HI repay every penny you've spent on me. As for the marriage, I won't follow your wishes." Melody picked up her suitcase and turned to leave.
"Melody, stop right there!" Helen's shout fell on deaf ears. She clutched her chest out of frustration, looking like she might faint.
"Dad, Helen, don't be angry," said Wendy in mock docility. She walked to Helen and gently held her hand. "Melody is just being stubborn. You still have me! I'll make sure to find a great husband in the future so as not to disappoint you and Dad." "Thank goodness we still have you. Melody used to be sensible when she was younger. I don't know how she turned out like this," said a heartened Helen.

As Melody walked out of the Sanders' residence, she let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of rebirth.
It was the day when she could finally prioritize her happiness and free herself from the burden of pleasing others.
"Miss Melody, please get in the car." Edmund courteously opened the car door and took her suitcase. Melody thanked him and settled into the car.
On the way to the Riveras' residence, she could not shake off the nervousness that crept in when she thought about Lucas. After all, she was about to spend the next year living with a complete stranger. At the stime, she had to assimilate herself to his family.
Melody could not help but doubt her own ability to handle it all.
"Miss Melody, we're here," announced Edmund.
Melody's state of mind was completely different from when she first went there.

As Melody stepped inside, she spotted Cedric and Beatrice sitting on the sofa, both looking at her with friendly smiles.
Feeling a bit flustered, she stood in place, nervously addressing them," Sorry, I'm here...to look for Lucas..." Beatrice smiled and said, "You must be Melody." Melody was surprised that they knew her name. "Uh, yes, that's me."
Beatrice smiled while scanning Melody from top to bottom. "Quite a Ο beauty you are. But besides your looks, not much else stands out. I wonder what got Lucas so determined to marry you?"
Melody sensed from Beatrice's tone that these were probably Lucas' elders. She took a few steps forward board and offered a respectful bow. With a warm smile, she explained, "I'm sorry. Lucas hasn't introducedto the elders of the family yet, but I'm certain you hold a special place in his heart. Hello, I'm Melody."
Beatrice was a bit surprised. She thought a girl from a modest m background would not carry herself Welly but Melody appeared poised and graceful, slightly improving Beatrice's impression of her. "We're Lucas' grandparents. We heard Lucas is planning to marry you." Beatrice gestured toward the nearby sofa. "Please, have a seat." Upon hearing they were Lucas' grandparents, Melody felt even more nervous. She obediently sat down and said, "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma." "Lucas never mentioned you tobefore. May I ask, how did you and Lucas meet?" inquired Beatrice.
