The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1946
"I searched everywhere for you," Melody explained anxiously, "but someone tried to pressure me into drinking some wine at the banquet hall. Sherman saved me from him."
Lucas's eyes narrowed slightly as his expression sank. "Pressure you? What did he do to you?"
Melody tried to wave off the intensity as she sensed his swelling anger. "No, no, he was just very insistent, that's all. I didn't want to entertain him because I was in such a hurry to look for you."
"I see," Lucas replied curtly and pulled her close. His hand rested possessively on her lower back.
Knowing that Sherman was behind her, Melody reached out and stopped Lucas' arm hesitantly. "Wait, Lucas. I'll have to say goodbye to my senior before we leave."
Lucas stopped and looked at her with a frown. "What are you going to say to him?"
"Just a minute," Melody said as she turned to face Sherman. "I need to go now. It was lovely seeing you again. Let's talk sometime soon."
Sherman stared at them in bewilderment. "Are you that close with my cousin?"
His voice was tinged with surprise. He had assumed they were mere acquaintances who perhaps recognized each other from a previous meeting, but the sight of them holding hands seemed to paint a different picture.
Melody avoided his gaze and was unsure how to explain their relationship. "We're..."
With a heavy heart, she nodded slowly. "Yes... We're married."
A bitter smile formed on Sherman's lips after a brief moment of shock. "So, it seems. As my cousin says, I should call you ma'am from now on."
The distant way in which he addressed her was like daggers stabbing Melody's soul. The man who was once her source of sunshine became a distant figure that would remain forever out of reach.
Lucas then whispered sarcastically into Melody's ear, "Are you that close with my cousin? Did you enjoy a nice conversation?"
Sherman sensed the underlying animosity between them, so he chuckled and tried to lighten the mood. "She and I are high school classmates. It's been years since we last saw each other, so we just caught up with each other earlier."

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...
