"Dad, I'm clueless about the drama in the entertainment industry. Whoever Wendy may have offended, that's her own business! It has nothing to do with me."
Ethan never expected Melody to be so rebellious. "How dare you speak to your father like this! If you didn't want to help Wendy in the first place, why did you agree to go on a date with Mister William? I've had enough of this. Tomorrow, you're coming with us to visit Mister William. You better help Wendy clear up whatever misunderstanding happened that day!"
Melody felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. It was a matter so easy to understand, yet no matter how she explained it, Ethan and Helen would always blindly believe Wendy.
From Ethan's tone, she could tell that Wendy wrangled herself out of blame by twisting the events of that day again.
Melody took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. She felt it was time to make a decisive break.
When Melody opened her eyes again, her gaze was remarkably firm. "Dad, Wendy's issues are hers to deal with. I never promised to go on a date with Mister William for her sake, so I won't be doing any explaining for her."
Without giving Ethan to say anything, she immediately hung up on him.
It was the first time she stood up to her father so bravely. Perhaps it was the assurance that she did not have to worry about being kicked out and finding a place to stay that gave her the confidence.
After that, she continued to organize her things. She had not moved much into the guest room before. After all, she knew that she would have to move back to Lucas' room once Cedric and Beatrice were discharged. Thus, there was not much for her to rearrange.
However, before she could finish organizing, Helen called again. Melody felt a headache when she saw the caller ID. She could tell that her family was really panicking.

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...
