Upon hearing Beatrice's words, Melody finally learned why Lucas wanted to marry her. After all, she did not believe that he was the type of guy who would feel responsible for her just because they had a one-night stand, nor did she think he lacked any potential marriage candidates.
'No wonder Lucas rushed into this marriage proposal. It seems his family is really pressuring him, and he needed a quick solution,' thought Melody.
"Melody, I can tell you're a good girl. With you by his side, we can have a bit more peace of mind," said Beatrice.
Facing Beatrice's goodwill, Melody felt a pang of guilt. Her marriage to Lucas was built on a lie, and she wondered how she would ever face Beatrice after the inevitable divorce from Lucas a year later.
Beatrice shared some heartfelt advice during their stroll. She then had a servant take Melody to rest in Lucas' room.
'Am I dreaming?' Melody could not help but marvel at the room much larger than her old one.
Just a while ago, she had been living in a small makeshift bedroom in the Sanders' residence, but in the blink of an eye, she found herself in this luxurious and spacious room.
The sudden change left her feeling both out of place and slightly overwhelmed. After a moment of silence, Melody decided to take a shower. She changed into a more conservative set of pajamas, and with nothing else to do, she laid down on the bed to rest.
Initially, she felt a bit anxious about how to face Lucas when he returned. However, it did not take long for drowsiness to take over, and she drifted off into a hazy sleep.
After a restful night's sleep, Melody woke up the next day to find that Lucas had not returned. The other half of the bed showed no signs of anyone sleeping in it, which brought her a sense of relief.
In truth, she was not quite ready to share a bed with a stranger.
Noticing it was still early, Melody decided to head downstairs to the kitchen. As she entered the kitchen, a maid was already preparing breakfast.
Melody smiled and walked over. "I'll take care of this."

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...
