Chloe panicked at the mention of being hauled to the police station. "Mister Lucas, please! I'm innocent... Miss Melody is lying about me!" she pleaded.
Lucas scoffed. "Why would she lie about you? If you're not guilty, why did you rush back to wipe the pot of your fingerprints?"
Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes as she struggled to find the right words. "I... I just..."
Lucas lost his patience with her. "Edmund, take her away!"
"Yes, sir!" Edmund stepped forward and dragged Chloe out.
Feeling her crime slowly being exposed, Chloe gritted her teeth and stared at Melody defiantly.
"Lucky you, Melody! Mister Lucas almost bought my story before you pulled this stunt. You're every bit of the scheming b*tch I know you are!"
She became slightly hysterical as tears flowed freely down her face. "You're a wicked woman! You don't deserve Mister Lucas!"
'If I'm going down, then I'm going to drag her down with me!' thought Chloe. She reached out to grab Melody.
Before Melody could react, Lucas swiftly pulled her away and sidestepped Chloe's attempt.
Melody regained her composure and met Lucas's gaze. With her heart pounding, she silently thanked Lucas for swooping in just in time. Otherwise, Chloe might have scratched her.
"Thanks," Melody murmured before looking at Chloe.
Chloe, refusing to leave with Edmund, kept her tearful eyes fixed on Lucas.

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...
