May I remind you, Melody, you're no longer single during the contract period, so you should be mindful of your actions and keep a distance from other men!" Melody frowned. "Well, I didn't do anything inappropriate, and it's not like I cheated on you! On the other hand, Lucas, weren't you the one who leftbehind to send another woman home? If anyone's being inappropriate here, it's you!" Lucas could not argue with that.

You askto cooperate, but you yourself are doing the opposite. Sometimes I don't even know how to explain to Grandpa and Grandma! Besides, if you can leavebehind to send Miss Stella home, why can't I ride in Sherman's car? Don't you think you're being unfair?" protested Melody aggrievedly.

However, you should understand that the Rivera family isn't any ordinary family, Melody. It'll affect the company's stock price if there's a scandal. Now that you're Missus Rivera, you shouldn't be too close with other men, even if they're merely your friends. There are always people trying to stir up a scandal." Since Lucas' tone was nicer, Melody calmed down a bit and answered, "I know. Don't worry, I'll be extra careful from now on! We'll look out for each other. You should try to keep a distance from other women too, so I don't need to explain to Grandpa and Grandma anymore." "Will do." As Lucas was about to go to his study, he remembered the pamphlet in his hand, so he tossed it on the bed and said, "Grandma askedto pass this to you. Take a look when you're free." He then left the room.

You should kick him out of the room again if he did anything wrong in the future. Let him know not to mess with you." "Grandma, I didn't..." Melody smiled helplessly. She did not know how to explain to Beatrice, especially when she should not be telling her the details.
"You don't need to explain anything," said Beatrice with a sly smile.
