"Alright, I'll trust you this time. If you don't bring anyone, I'll genuinely stop taking my meds!" threatened Beatrice.
After hanging up the phone, Lucas picked up the 200 dollars Melody left on the floor and dialed Edmund's number.
"There was a woman in my room yesterday. I need to see her again."
"Yes, sir. I'll find her right away."
Edmund was startled when he heard that a woman had entered Lucas' room. He had worked for Lucas' for years and knew how much Lucas hated shameless women who tried to hit on him. He always managed things to keep any woman from getting too close to Lucas.
Little did he expect a slip-up this time. Fortunately, Lucas did not blow up at him.
After leaving the Riveras' residence, Melody stepped outside and answered Helen's call. "Hey, Mom. What's up?"
"You stupid girl! Where are you right now?!" Helen's tone was harsh. "Melody, we've raised you better than to be someone's mistress! How can you wreck someone else's family? Even if you have no shame, you should think about what other people will say about your family!"
Melody was bewildered. "Mom, what are you talking about? I haven't done anything you said. How could I be someone's mistress?"
"Don't play innocent! Wendy told us everything. Are you still denying it? I thought that even though you might not be as outstanding as Wendy, at least you had some sense and decency. How could you do something so unethical?"
'Unethical?' Melody never thought her own mother would use such a harsh word to describe her.
She had always known that between Wendy and herself, Helen favored Wendy more. Even though Wendy was not her biological daughter, Helen loved her unconditionally.

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...
