Over the years, Melody endured every emotional and physical abuse at her home. She had always done her best to show understanding and tolerance, but her family's insatiable greed only grew.
Thus, Melody could not bear another day of such a life.
She glanced at Wendy but ignored her, focusing instead on their biased, emotionally distant parents. "Alright, just tell me how much do you want. I'll pay you back every penny with interest for your so-called nurturance!"
Helen and Ethan looked at each other before Helen held up three fingers. "If you can come up with three million dollars, I'll consider things even between us. And you have my word we won't bother you with family matters anymore."
'Three million dollars? What a greedy bunch of b*stards!' thought Melody.
Melody had lived a modest life since childhood. She could not possibly have spent three million dollars of her parents' money.
Nonetheless, giving them the three million dollars seemed to be her only way out. However, she could not possibly come up with three million dollars on her own. She had no choice but to borrow the money from a certain someone.
"Fine, just give me a moment."
After leaving the living room, Melody returned to the small room she used to live in and called Lucas.
The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just when she was about to lose hope, the call went through.
Lucas' indifferent voice came through the phone. "What's up?"

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...
