The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1940

"It's nothing special. We're just friends," explained Melody briefly. She just smiled and looked at herself in the mirror.

Zeke caught on that Melody did not want to delve deeper into her connection with Lucas, so he did not push for more. He smiled and focused on putting makeup on her.

Melody could not shake the surreal feeling washing over her as the transformation unfolded in the mirror. Throughout her life, she never had the chance to wear anything remotely glamorous. Wendy's stylish dresses had always been a source of envy, but Melody never dared to dream of having one herself. That was just a wish that would never come true, she said to herself back then.

She then recalled a particular incident in her childhood…

"Mom, tomorrow is my birthday. Can I have a pretty dress?" pleaded Melody hopefully.

However, Helen only glanced at her coldly. "Why do you need a dress? Haven't I already bought you enough T-shirts? You need to learn to be content and stop comparing yourself to Wendy!"

In the end, eight-year-old Melody never got the dress she wished for.

Melody snapped back to the present, but even as she finally got to don the beautiful dress she dreamt of, the excitement was not quite there.

Perhaps it was because there was no point in getting what she wanted once the moment was gone.

After more than two hours of makeup and styling, Melody finally stepped out in the dress Lucas had chosen. Even though Edmund was used to seeing stunningly beautiful women, he could not help but be amazed when Melody appeared in front of him.

Melody always looked simple and rarely wore make-up. Even if she did, it was only a coat of foundation.

Edmund could see that she had naturally lovely features, but he was surprised at how striking she looked after some meticulous styling. It was the kind of eye-catching presence that stood out in a crowd.
