Melody felt disgusted with herself at the thought of being defiled by William. Filled with anger, all she wanted was to get out of there and find out what Ethan and Helen were really up to.
However, the bathroom door swung open just when she reached the hotel room door.
"What's the matter? Are you thinking of running away right after waking up?" a familiar voice froze Melody in her tracks. She turned to find…a shirtless Lucas.
"Ah!" Melody screamed and covered her eyes shyly. "What... What are you doing here?!"
"Who were you hoping to find here?" Lucas asked.
Melody was wearing Lucas' white shirt, and her slender legs captivated his gaze. He furrowed his brows slightly, and his Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed.
Melody was made uncomfortable by the way Lucas was staring at her. She awkwardly moved to the side and picked up the blanket to cover her legs.
"Um, I couldn't find my clothes, so I just grabbed something to wear. Is this your shirt?"
"Yeah. Whose shirt do you think it is?" Lucas walked over and sat on the sofa. "Did you perhaps think it was Mister William's?"
The mention of William shocked Melody. "How do you even know about Mister William?"
"Melody, I don't ask anything from you. But during our agreement, please make sure you don't do anything to bring disgrace to my family's name."
Melody lowered her head. "Sorry, it was my fault. I got careless and almost got into trouble. I promise it won't happen again! Um... Did you save me yesterday? Then, did we..."
'Mister William must've spiked my drinks last night. If it was Lucas who saved me, then maybe we did...'
The thought made Melody lower her head even further as she did not dare to meet Lucas' eyes again. While she was not exactly hoping for something to happen between her and Lucas, she would choose him over the disgusting William any day.

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...
