Melody immediately pulled the nearby blanket to cover herself. "You... Why did you come in without knocking?!"
"Ahem. As I remember, this is my room."
"Oh, I..." Melody just realized that she was in Lucas' room. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize! I thought that with Grandpa and Grandma back, they might get suspicious if we continue to sleep in separate bedrooms…"
Melody felt the guilt bubbling in her chest as she rambled to explain herself.
Lucas closed the door and leaned against it. He narrowed his eyes on her and said, "I see you've thought it through. You're right. I'll knock in the future."
"And I'll lock the door when I'm changing," said Melody as she laid down the blanket, straightened her clothes, and stood up.
She looked at the large bed hesitantly. "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. You can have the bed."
Lucas smiled faintly. "Why should we sleep separately? Didn't you just tell Grandma that you'll put in some effort to give her a great-grandchild?"
Blushing again at the mention of the earlier conversation, Melody stammered, "I… I was just saying that to get them off our case! Besides, we're not really planning to have children, right?"
Lucas found her blushing face to be particularly adorable. Suddenly in the mood to tease Melody, he narrowed his eyes mischievously, walked up to her slowly, and leaned over her.
"Who said we won't have kids? Are you doubting my abilities, or perhaps you think you can't have kids?"
Lucas' proximity made Melody's heart race. She could not help but recall the night they first met and, in particular, his so-called 'abilities'.
Shaking off those thoughts, Melody pushed him away and took a few deep breaths to regain her composure.

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...
