Ethan never truly loved Helen. He married her simply to have a wife who could take care of the household. Of course, there were many capable women like Helen out there.
Thus, Helen could not shake the nagging fear that Ethan might cast her aside one day. She chose to sacrifice Melody to solidify her position as Missus Sander.
"What do you want me to do?" Melody knew her mother would not bother her without a good reason. There had to be a purpose behind the phone call.
Helen sighed. "Could you please go with Wendy to meet Mister William? It's a brief meeting, just to clear things up. Once that's sorted, I promise I won't trouble you anymore."
Melody was not at all surprised that this was about Wendy. Again.
"Fine, but this is the last time," Melody replied before hanging up. She knew Helen might be putting on a show, yet she chose to help one more time.
After all, this was Melody's final favor for Helen as her daughter. She would have nothing to do with her from then on.
That night, Wendy texted her the time and place for the next day. It was clear this matter had a big impact on her as she was eager to get it over with.
Instead of replying to the message, Melody went to deliver milk to Cedric and Beatrice. When she came out of their room, she happened to run into Lucas, who was about to return to his room.
"I... just delivered some milk to Grandpa and Grandma," she explained.
Lucas acknowledged with a nod and opened the door to their room. Melody followed him in.
She felt a bit awkward as they were in the same room. "I just took a shower, so I'm going to sleep on the sofa now."
"Get on the bed," said Lucas. Then, he laid down on the bed himself. "It's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before."

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...
