However, Lucas chose to go along with Melody's plan and followed Chloe home.
…
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the Riveras' residence. Chloe hastily paid the fare and rushed into the yard.
Melody never could afford further education after high school, so she reluctantly entered the workforce. Finally, she landed a position as a maid working for the Rivera family. The work was simple, but the pay was good.
Nonetheless, what mattered most was meeting Lucas. She had a crush on him.
Initially, she never dared to dream about being with such an unattainable man. She was content with just observing him from a distance for the rest of her life, but then Melody appeared.
'If an unassuming woman like Melody can become Mister Lucas' wife, then I can, too!' thought Chloe.
Little did she expect Melody to be quite cunning, figuring out a way to prove innocence by use of fingerprint verification. Thus, she needed to hurry home and wipe away all the evidence. That way, Melody would not have a way to prove she had not poisoned Cedric and Beatrice!
Upon arriving home, Chloe did not even bother changing her shoes and headed straight to the kitchen.
However, just as she picked up a cloth to start wiping, Melody walked in. She pushed Chloe aside and took the pot from her. "Chloe, what are you doing?"
Caught off-guard, Chloe did not have time to think. She tried to stand up, intending to snatch the pot back from Melody.
Melody took a step back with the pot still in her hands. Suddenly, Lucas appeared, pulling Melody behind him and blocking Chloe's way.
He looked down at her and asked, "What's going on here?"

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...
