The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2340

Since Melody moved out, Lucas often stayed in his study until late before returning to their room. Without Melody, the room felt empty, and Lucas only came back briefly before bedtime. Every moment spent there reminded him of Melody's absence.

Knock, knock, knock!

Lucas instinctively thought it was Melody, but then remembered she was staying in the dormitory. It was impossible for her to be at his study door, so he composed himself.

"Come in."

Thalia walked in with a smile, carrying the glass of milk. "Lucas, are you still busy tonight? I noticed you haven't eaten anything since you got home. Lynette asked me to bring you this cup of milk."

Lucas silently watched as she placed the milk in front of him. He was pondering when Melody started considering moving out. Would she still want to move out if he could turn back time to before Thalia came to his house?

Seeing Lucas staring at her so intently, Thalia felt a bit shy, so she lowered her head. "Lucas, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Unable to derive any answer from his gaze, Lucas sighed helplessly and shook his head. "It's nothing. If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I need to work."

However, Thalia was reluctant to leave. She looked around the spacious study and asked, "Lucas, do you always work in the study? Why haven't I seen you spend much time in the bedroom these days?"

Lucas mulled over the document, realizing the company also originated from Molomia. He could not fathom who might be behind the continuous targeting of his company. After all, if the perpetrator was from New Capital City, they should have known Lucas' influence in the country. Challenging him would only bring disaster.

As Lucas furrowed his brow in contemplation, he heard Thalia's coquettish voice again. "Lucas, the milk is cooling down. It's best to drink it while it's still warm. Lynette told me to make sure you drink it before it gets cold because of your stomach issues."

Lucas suddenly remembered Thalia's presence in his study and, after finishing the milk, promptly asked her to leave. "If you want to read the book, you can take it to your room. But please, not here."

Thalia's eyes flickered briefly after Lucas drank the milk, but this time, she did not refuse his request. She picked up the cup hurriedly and even left the book she wanted to read behind on the sofa.
