As Lucas walked outside the private room, he pulled out a lighter and lit his cigarette.
Amid the smoke, Melody's image appeared faintly before him. He chuckled at himself, wondering if Samuel's words had somehow played tricks on his mind.
After smoking half of his cigarette, he turned to get some fresh air by the window. However, he suddenly felt that something was off, so he turned back for another look.
With no smoke clouding his vision, he clearly got a glimpse of Melody.
The door of the adjacent private room was slightly ajar, and through the crack, he saw Melody raising a glass in a toast with an older man. They were standing very close, their actions seemingly affectionate from Lucas's perspective.
'Heh. So she's no different than the other gold-diggers, then. I've overestimated her,' thought Lucas.
He scoffed, narrowed his eyes, and pulled out his phone to call Melody.
While Melody raised her glass toward William, she noticed Lucas' call. Setting down her glass, she excused herself and walked to the side to answer the phone.
"Hello, Lucas."
"Where are you?"
Melody turned to look at William, who was looking at her lustfully.
A sudden wave of embarrassment hit her. She did not want Lucas to know about the messy situation her family had got her into.
"I… I'm having dinner with friends. I'll be home soon," said Melody.
"Friends? Really?" Lucas's gaze grew darker.

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...
