Lucas showed him no courtesy and set the wine glass aside before heading down. "You can discuss work matters with Edmund. He'll hand over your proposal to me," he said without even bothering to look at the man. The middle-aged man could only stare helplessly. He did not dare to ask any more questions or follow Lucas down.
Lucas went downstairs and walked straight toward Melody. He wanted to know what it was that his gorgeous fiancee was talking about so happily with that stranger.
"When did you arrive?" The familiar voice stiffened Melody's smile. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lucas's serious expression. She could tell from his reaction that he was in a bad mood, and she associated his reaction with Sherman sitting next to her.
Lucas had warned her before their cooperation that she should be careful in the way she carried herself in public. Seeing her chatting happily with another man in such a setting must have angered him. She sighed before standing up and replying, "I—"
"She just arrived," Sherman said on Melody's behalf before she could finish her words. "I didn't expect you to be here too, cousin."
'Cousin?' Melody was surprised to hear that. She did not expect Sherman to be Lucas' cousin! It was a small world, evidently. All she hoped was that Lucas would stop talking to her at that point. She did not want Sherman to know about the 'marriage' she had with Lucas.
"I just returned home a few days ago, and I've been so busy that I haven't had the time to visit the grandparents. I wonder how they're doing now?" Sherman naturally struck up a conversation with him on family matters.
Lucas's attention seemed focused on Melody, and he merely nodded blankly in response to Sherman's questions.
"What about you? When did you arrive?" Lucas narrowed his eyes and questioned Melody. Her hopes that he would not talk to her had been dashed right that instant.

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...
