It was only then Helen began to pay attention to Melody, but it was already too late.
Melody got up from the sofa and walked to stand in front of the three of them.
"Mom, Dad, besides explaining my situation with Wendy today, I came back to tell you that I'm getting married."
"Melody, marriage is a big deal! How could you make such a decision without discussing it with us? Do you still regard your parents with any respect?" asked Wendy, seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble again.
Her casual remarks immediately ignited Ethan and Helen's anger.
Helen stood up, took a few steps forward, and slapped Melody.
"Who gave you permission to get married? Who are you marrying? Did you even ask for our opinion? Don't tell me you've become a mistress and ruined someone else's family!"
Melody covered her throbbing cheek and turned to look at Helen disappointedly.
"Mom, I've said it before. I haven't been involved in any homewrecking! Marriage is my own business. It's a matter of personal choice, and I don't need to ask anyone else for their opinion!"
Throughout Melody's life, Helen directed all her efforts toward pleasing Wendy in order to win Ethan's favor. In the end, she neglected Melody.
Ethan, who had been silent with a serious expression, finally asked her, "Melody, who are you marrying?"
Melody turned to him and said, "You don't know him. After we get married, I'll find a time to introduce him to you..."
"Oh, Melody! Please don't tell me you really want to be a mistress and get together with an old man!" Wendy looked at her with a feigned concern as if she were a good sister genuinely afraid that her younger sister might go astray. "He's totally playing you. He's not going to leave his wife for you. Melody, turn back while you can. Please don't do anything foolish!"

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...
