"I'll repay every penny you've spent on me. As for the marriage, I won't follow your wishes."
Melody picked up her suitcase and turned to leave.
"Melody, stop right there!" Helen's shout fell on deaf ears. She clutched her chest out of frustration, looking like she might faint.
"Dad, Helen, don't be angry," said Wendy in mock docility. She walked to Helen and gently held her hand. "Melody is just being stubborn. You still have me! I'll make sure to find a great husband in the future so as not to disappoint you and Dad."
"Thank goodness we still have you. Melody used to be sensible when she was younger. I don't know how she turned out like this," said a heartened Helen.
"It's because you didn't raise your daughter properly!" muttered Ethan angrily. "If she wants to leave, let her leave!"
Helen was silenced by his outburst.
As Melody walked out of the Sanders' residence, she let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of rebirth.
It was the day when she could finally prioritize her happiness and free herself from the burden of pleasing others.
"Miss Melody, please get in the car." Edmund courteously opened the car door and took her suitcase.
Melody thanked him and settled into the car.
On the way to the Riveras' residence, she could not shake off the nervousness that crept in when she thought about Lucas. After all, she was about to spend the next year living with a complete stranger. At the same time, she had to assimilate herself to his family.
Melody could not help but doubt her own ability to handle it all.

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...
