"Really? That's good!" Beatrice chuckled gleefully. Somehow, her appetite got better.
After breakfast, Melody checked the time and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm heading out with my sister to meet a friend today, so I'll be out for a bit."
"Do you want Grandma to arrange someone to go with you?" asked Beatrice worriedly.
Melody smiled and shook her head. "It's okay, Grandma. I'll be fine."
Beatrice did not insist either. She arranged for a car and spoke to Melody for a bit before letting her go.
Melody was hit with a mixed bag of emotions when she got into the car. It had been a while since she faced her family, and she was not sure what to expect from this reunion.
When she arrived at the agreed-upon location, Melody stepped out of the car and found that her family was nowhere to be seen at the club entrance. She thus called Helen. "Mom, I'm here. Where are you guys?"
"We're stuck in traffic, Melody, so it might take a while. You should go in first!" said Helen, sounding hurried.
Melody gazed at the entrance of the club and shook her head. "Mom, I've never been to a place like this. I think I'll just wait for you guys at the entrance. I don't even know Mister William, and going in alone feels a bit awkward. I wouldn't know what to say."
"Melody, it's already past the agreed time. It'll seem pretty rude if none of us shows up. So you go ahead, and I promise we'll be there shortly. Remember when you said you'd help me out one more time? Let's stick to that!" Helen insisted.
Melody took a deep breath to calm herself. "Okay, Mom, but this really is the last time." She then hung up.
Melody felt unsettled as she gazed at the fancy-looking club. For some reason, she could not shake the feeling that something was off, and her anxiety grew.
'Okay, let's just deal with this. After this, I'm cutting ties with them,' thought Melody.

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...
