Get you in my arms

Chapter 136 The Truth Is Always Cruel (Part One)

"Honey, as the number one young master of Q City, can't I even roast a steak? If I can't roast a fine steak for you today, then I have to say sorry to my fame! "

It seemed that he was only making beefsteak today.

Therefore, Sophia gave up the persuasion. She found a chair to sit down and began eating breakfast, watching the man who was tenacious and throwing it.

When she was about to fall asleep, an excited cheer came from the above. Lucas showed his golden steak in front of her with great interest. "Honey, have a taste."

She thought that she should at least show consideration for him. After all, no hard work is always rewarded! Sophia took it and took a small bite. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"How does it taste?" He stared at her unblinkingly. His eyes were glittering, nervous and expectant.

"Yummy! It's so yummy!" She nodded her head repeatedly. To be honest, what she ate was not the steak and taste, but full of gratitude.

He took a long breath, as if relieved, and then smiled, like the sun coming out of the clouds above, charming and brilliant.

After returning to his room, he wiped the oil stains off his body, and then lay on the bed together with her to watch TV.

Sophia's phone on the bedside table rang. She picked it up and found it was a strange number. At the moment she read the message, her hand trembled violently. She screamed and threw the phone on the ground. Her belly began to shrink. Unconsciously, she covered her belly with her hands. Her face turned pale.

"What's wrong, Sophia, does your stomach ache?" Lucas jumped up from the bed.

Sophia shook her head and pointed at the cellphone. It was a picture, an adolescent, blood drenched, horrific.

Blazing anger rushed to his head from his chest. Lucas clenched his fist furiously with the cracking of his finger joints.

"It's her. It must be her." Sophia curled up at the bedside. Seeing this, Lucas jumped to the bed and held her in his arms. "Don't be afraid, honey. It's just a photo. It's okay."

"She is like a shadow haunting me. She doesn't want me to live well." She grabbed his collar with anger.

"Sophia, I will handle this." Lucas said in a low voice.

Sitting up, Sophia took out Joyce's diary from a drawer of the bedside table. She had read it for days. Joyce wrote her diary almost every day. The last date was the day before she jumped off the building. But later, there was a print of tear. She might have wrote it on the day she jumped off the building, but someone didn't want to let her see it.

Sophia turned to the last five pages, on which Joyce wrote that she had discovered the secret of Melody. She felt that she could prevent her from marrying to Lucas with this secret. When Lucas saw this, he was shocked and his expression became extremely complicated.

"You want to keep this secret for Melody, don't you?" Sophia looked at him.

Without answering, Lucas placed his chin on her hair and unconsciously rubbed it. After a long while, he said in a weak voice, "I owe her." After a long moment of silence, he picked up his phone from the

bedside table and opened the information Jerry had found. "In fact, there are something I've been trying to tell you."

Looking at this, Sophia couldn't help but feel a spasm in her heart. She saw the contradiction and struggle in his eyes, and also the guilt and pain behind it, which were a dust laden yet unforgettable barrier. She didn't want him to be tortured again, and she wanted to completely open him up. She raised her head and touched his face, "Lucas, no matter what decision you make, I will support and cooperate with you."

"Sophia!" Lucas looked at her emotionally. She was the only one who knew him.

The air in the room was silent for a long time. A breeze gently blew the window gauze, and the sunlight sprinkled the shadows of the flower trees on the woollen carpet. She was so obsessed in his arms that she almost forgot everything.

Suddenly, a ringtone broke the silence. He let go of her reluctantly and took up the phone beside him. It was from Melody.

"Lucas, what are you doing? Are you free to visit me today?"

"Recently, Sophia and I will spend the weekend in the HB Villa. Can you come with Chuck?" Said Lucas.

"Okay, I'll tell Chuck. See you in the afternoon." Melody's voice was full of joy.

In the afternoon, as soon as they arrived at the HB Villa, Chuck and Melody came.

In a short blue dress, Melody was as pretty as a mermaid walking out of the ocean.

Looking at her, Sophia sighed in her heart, 'Such a beautiful and smart girl. Her life should be wonderful and brilliant. Why did God play tricks on her?'!

It seemed that Melody chose to ignore her all the time and let her eyes settle upon Lucas.

"Lucas --" she gently called his name with a bright smile. Behind her, there was a shadow on the face of Chuck. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.

Lucas greeted them and took Sophia to welcome them. As soon as Melody saw them were hand in hand, the smile on her face froze. She said, "Lucas, you are so close with your cousin!"

Lucas smiled, took the wheelchair from Chuck and pushed her forward slowly. When he came to the small pavilion made of palm tree, he stopped. The pavilion was built near the sea, and one could touch the softness of the waves with one's hand. Sophia asked a maid to bring tea and fruits.

Seeing that, Melody looked at her and frowned slightly with her slender new moon eyebrows. "Isn't it the first time you have come to Q City? Why do I feel like you are the hostess here?"

"Melody." Lucas gave her a cherry fruit and said, "I remember you like eating this best."

Melody nodded with a smile and took over it. After she finished eating, Lucas said slowly, "Melody, do you know it's not the high school days? It has been eleven years since your leg was hurt."

All of a sudden, Melody's face turned deathly pale. She covered her ears and shook her head hard. "That's impossible. It was eleven years. How could I forget it at all?"

"Haven't you noticed that everything around you has changed?" Lucas held her by the shoulder.

Chuck wanted to stand up to stop him. But Sophia pressed his shoulder and said, "It's good for you and her. Let her come to her senses earlier."

The corner of Chuck's mouth twitched and he sat down slowly. He scratched his head, and his mood was extremely contradictory. Sometimes he felt that in fact Melody had already realized it, but she was

unwilling to accept it. Perhaps she still hoped that everything would be the same as it was.

Melody looked at him without a blink with crystal tears in his eyes, "Lucas, have you also changed?"

Lucas walked to Sophia and said: "Sophia is not my cousin, but my wife. What's more, we are going to have our own children soon. Melody, you're married, too. And Chuck is your husband."

As if a lightning passed her, Melody's whole body began twisting. "Impossible, impossible, impossible. You lied to me, you lied to me..." she covered her ears, shook her head desperately and screamed wildly.

"Calm down, Melody! Calm down!" Chuck jumped up and held her in his arms, comforting her constantly.

Melody held his arm tightly as if it was a life-saving straw. "Chuck, tell me, it's not true! Tell me, it's not!"
