Ethan left without giving Helen a chance to explain herself.
Seeing Helen's panic, Wendy approached and gently held her hand. She put on a fake smile and said, "Don't worry, Helen. This is all on Melody alone. I'll talk to Dad and make sure he knows you're not to blame for her mistakes."
Wendy's words brought relief to Helen. She said gratefully, "Wendy, you're such a sweet kid. It's good to know all the love and care I've shown you over the years hasn't ended in vain."
…
Melody felt at a loss for words after her father hung up on her. It was just so unbelievable how Wendy would try to set her up and cause trouble at home for her like that.
The home she once considered a haven was in complete chaos. Melody's emotions were in turmoil, and she had no idea where to turn.
Even without any evidence, her parents would still buy into Melody's guilt just because of a few words from Wendy. No matter how much she tried to explain, it was just pointless.
It was just like back in elementary school. Even though it was Wendy who started the fight, it was Melody who ended up being scolded and punished. As long as Wendy cried and claimed she was the one being bullied, Ethan and Helen would always unconditionally take Wendy's side.
There was never a place for her in the family nor someone she could turn to. Thus, if she were at that moment, what awaited her would surely be reprimands from Ethan and Helen, and the delight and mockery from Wendy.
Somehow, she had grown used to the mess that had been her life for over two decades.
However, a sudden wave of fatigue suddenly washed over her, and she just felt so tired.
She turned around and stared at the mansion in front of her for a long time. Finally, she mustered the courage to walk back and knocked on the door.

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...
