With her few belongings packed in a single luggage, Melody was ready to leave.
As she descended the stairs, Helen grabbed her arm and asked, "Melody, have you lost your mind? Have you no shred of self-respect?! With your looks, finding a decent guy should be easy. Why stoop to being a home-wrecker?"
"Mom, is that how you really see me? Just someone who'd willingly become someone's mistress?"
Helen was taken aback by the unfamiliar resentment in Melody's gaze. Melody had never looked at her like that, so she could not help but wonder, 'How could she look at me like this? Is it because she found a sugar daddy that she thinks she doesn't need us anymore?'
While Helen was momentarily distracted, Melody freed herself from Helen's grasp and briskly descended the stairs with her luggage. As she reached the ground floor, Ethan and Wendy crossed her path.
Wendy, eyeing Melody with the suitcase, could not resist a mocking laugh. "What did I tell you, Dad? Melody is someone's mistress now. Look, she's even taking her luggage. She must be moving out to be someone's sugar baby!"
Wendy's taunt stirred up a wave of deep displeasure in Ethan.
"Melody, must you drag the Sander family's name through the mud?" he scolded sternly. "If I had known your mom was pregnant with a daughter back then, I would've never allowed her to go through with the pregnancy!"
These words were nothing new to Melody. She was constantly reminded that she was never the child born under the hopeful expectations of Ethan and Helen. Melody might never have been born if it were not for their mistaken belief that Helen was carrying a son.

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...
