After snapping out of her shock, Melody was compelled to question Chloe.
As Melody got closer, Chloe started stepping back and accidentally fell to the ground. "Miss Melody, I... I didn't mean to tattle on you, but since Mister Cedric and Miss Beatrice are this sick, I have no choice but to tell Mister Lucas what I've seen!"
Melody looked at Chloe, who still was on the floor, with a frown on her face. "Just what are you trying to achieve by throwing baseless accusations at me?"
Chloe looked away. She put on a frightened look of almost being on the verge of tears as she shuffled closer to Lucas.
Lucas glared at Melody. "Speak! Why did you want to harm my grandparents?"
It was then Melody understood that he had chosen to trust Chloe over her.
It was understandable, considering one was a maid who had been part of their household for many years, while the other was a relatively unknown woman he had just met.
It was clear whom Lucas would believe.
In the past, Melody might have quietly endured the situation. However, from the moment she decided to leave her family, she had sworn not to let herself go through unnecessary pain anymore.
No one in this world could ever make her endure injustice.
"I hope you'll stick to whatever charade you have now, Chloe. You claimed I drugged Grandpa and Grandma, but I can prove I'm innocent!" said Melody.
Melody turned to Lucas. "The pot I used to cook breakfast today is one I brought from my home. Before using it, I made sure to clean all the utensils myself, and no one else laid a finger on what I touched."

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...
