'What's going on? Didn't Wendy promise she'd come back last night?' Melody thought with a heavy heart. After all, she lost something precious because of a one-night stand with a stranger.
Lucas thought she was just acting and did not want to get involved with her. He took out his credit card and threw it onto the bed, saying, "There's enough in there for you to live without working for the rest of your life. Take the money, and never show your face in front of me again."
Melody was stunned as she felt a deep sense of humiliation from Lucas. "Who wants your stinking money?!"
Then, she went to the bathroom and quickly put on her clothes. When she returned, she took 200 dollars from her wallet and tossed them onto Lucas.
"We're even now. Last night was my bad luck, so don't bother me again!" said Melody, returning what Lucas said to her. She then quickly left before he could react.
After taking a taxi home, Melody walked in just as Wendy was about to step out.
Upon seeing Melody back, Wendy was particularly furious. She rushed up and slapped her face harshly.
"Where did you go last night, Melody?!"
Just five minutes ago, Wendy believed her scheming had paid off. Thus, she called William, hoping he would stick to his earlier promise and secure the role for her.
However, William exploded in anger when Wendy called him. "Wendy, do you have any shame? How dare you call me and demand a role! Just what are you trying to pull? You hyped up your sister's looks and body. I was eagerly waiting at the hotel all night, and not a single woman showed up. Fine. Since you were bold enough to toy with me, don't even dream of getting a role from me ever again!"
Without giving her a chance to explain, William abruptly ended the call. Wendy not only endured a scolding but also lost a role she had been yearning for. Thus, she was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it.
Melody walked in at that moment, so she ended up being Wendy's emotional punching bag.

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...
