From that day on, Melody made it a daily routine to bring meals to Cedric and Beatrice, trying to make up for her kitchen mishap.
As Cedric and Beatrice's health improved, the doctor eventually allowed them to leave the hospital.
Lucas took a break from his work to fetch Cedric and Beatrice from the hospital.
"Grandma, be careful!" Melody assisted Beatrice, helping her settle in the back seat before doing the same for Cedric.
There was no driver, and Lucas took the wheel himself. With Cedric and Beatrice in the back seat, Melody had no choice but to sit in the front passenger seat.
Beatrice observed Lucas and Melody's seemingly harmonious interaction and felt genuinely pleased.
"Have you both been enjoying your time at home these past few days?" she asked them.
She had worried a lot about Lucas's marriage before, but everything went seemingly smoothly. In fact, Melody had been alone at home for most of the time as Lucas had stayed out for most of the time.
Lucas seemed uninterested in engaging in conversation, so Melody quickly took on the role of a dutiful wife, smiling as she replied, "We're doing well, Grandma. Don't worry."
Seeing her being so understanding, Beatrice's smile grew even more affectionate. "Melody, I can finally rest easy now that you're taking care of Lucas. Since you two are married, have you considered having children? Your grandpa and I can't wait to hold another great-grandchild in our arms!"
'Crap! How on earth am I supposed to respond to that?' Melody was stumped by the question. She shot a pleading look toward Lucas, silently hoping for some help.
"Grandma, having kids isn't in the immediate plans," Lucas replied calmly. His gaze remained fixed straight ahead as if discussing something as mundane as the weather.
Beatrice was far from pleased with his answer. "You're already thirty. When do you plan on having kids? Melody, don't listen to his nonsense. You should start getting ready for pregnancy."
"I understand, Grandma. We'll...do our best!" replied Melody with an awkward laugh. She blushed as she lowered her head.

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...
