"I'm familiar with these parts. Let me know who you're looking for and I might just happen to know them!" The man promptly extended his hand to block Melody's path when he saw her attempt to walk around him. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. That's just plain rude. I'm just helping you out of the kindness of my heart. Don't just ignore me like that."
Having nowhere to go after being blocked, Melody dealt patiently with him and said, "I came with a male companion, and I'd like to go meet him now. Could you please let me through?"
She believed that she had spoken in as polite a manner as possible, but the man seemed to misunderstand her and grow angry. "Who is he? Tell me!"
"I'm under no obligation to tell you that." Melody tried to avoid engaging in a conversation with that man, but he continued to block her way. Melody's expression soured and she asked with a sigh, "What do you want from me?"
"Well, I want you to have a drink with me! I can let you leave," the man said as he casually took a glass of wine from the table and handed it to Melody. "But you must raise me a toast before you go!"
Melody looked at the wine glass in front of her but hesitated to take it. Her alcohol tolerance was not too bad, and a glass of wine was just fine. However, drinking alcohol had landed her in danger twice, and she could not tell if the wine was spiked. She was not that naive to think that she could be allowed to leave just by drinking that glass of wine. Once she started drinking, he would probably push her to drink a second, then a third, up until she got drunk!
"I'm sorry, but I don't drink," Melody walked to the side to try and avoid him.
The man stretched out his hand and pulled her back. "I won't allow a rude woman to leave that easy."
"Ah!" Melody was not accustomed to wearing high heels, and she lost her balance when he grasped her.

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...
