Beatrice's question made Melody uneasy. How on earth could she explain to Beatrice that their meeting was the result of a one-night stand because she entered the wrong room last night?
Lucas had not briefed her on how to handle this situation, so she was scrambling for the right words.
"We..." After a prolonged pause, Melody finally said, "This one time, I ran into some trouble, and Lucas helped me out. I thanked him afterward, and, well…we got to know each other."
She deliberately made her answer general enough so as to not cause suspicions.
"Really?" Beatrice eyed Melody skeptically. "I never thought of Lucas as the heroic type."
Melody silently agreed with Beatrice. Lucas appeared aloof and uninterested in others' affairs.
Melody forced a laugh and said, "Perhaps it's just fate, you know…"
She had to spin a little tale without giving too much away.
'Seems like she's different from the previous women around Lucas,' thought Beatrice as she observed Melody's sweet demeanor.
Of course, they had sent someone to dig into the Sanders. Rumors about Melody's not-so-great reputation with Sanders had reached them, but the Melody standing before them seemed like a different person.
As Melody felt Cedric and Beatrice's gazes on her, she became a bit uneasy, fearing that they might see through her. She stood up and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, it's almost dinner time. How about I make you some dinner?"
"You can cook?" asked Beatrice with surprise.
"Yeah. I'm pretty good at it, too!"

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...
