Meanwhile, back at the Riveras' mansion…
Lucas had just returned to New Capital City. He went straight to his company after having dinner with Corinne.
He had nothing urgent to attend to, but he chose to go to do the work that had been piling up. This was to distract himself from thinking about other things that might worsen his already bad mood.
It was already late at night by the time he finished his work, and he closed his laptop.
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he stood up, put on his coat, and went out.
As soon as he opened the office door, he saw Edmund wrapping up a phone call and turning hastily.
Seeing Lucas coming out of the office, Edmund hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mister Lucas, are you leaving soon? I was about to go in and tell you something."
Lucas looked at the flustered Edmund with a frown. "What's the matter?"
"Something happened at your house! The housekeeper just called and said that Mister Maxwell is missing. He couldn't get through to you, so he called me and asked you to go home quickly!"
Lucas' frown deepened. "When did my father go missing?"
"No one has seen him since dinner time. Your grandparents thought he was still gardening in the yard, so they didn't think too much about it. But when he didn't come home even when the sky turned dark, they decided to call him before realizing his phone had been turned off."
Lucas brooded silently for a while. "A grown man like him can't go missing like that."
"That only applies under normal circumstances. Your grandparents are worried that Mister Maxwell might have taken ill again or got into an accident outside," said Edmund cautiously.
Lucas was already very tired, and it seemed his father did not want to let him rest.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
