"Is that so?" Lucas scoffed, seemingly unconvinced. He pulled Melody into a hug and turned to leave.
Melody could not help but steal a glance back at Sherman as a helpless sigh escaped her lips.
Lucas released her only after he led her to a secluded spot.
Lost in thought, Melody bumped into a pillar and cried out, "Ouch!"
Lucas subconsciously reached out to help, but his expression sank and he stopped himself mid-way when the memory of Melody and Sherman's cheerful conversation appeared in his mind.
Melody clutched her head in pain.
"What's the matter?" Lucas sneered. "Did you get distracted by your classmate?"
"You don't have to be so snarky about it. We're just classmates." Melody's unhappiness grew when he made snide comments at her while she was in pain.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. The usually demure Melody shot back at him for Sherman's sake gave him a clearer idea of how deeply Sherman mattered to her. It was all the worse that she had those sorts of ambiguous feelings toward other men when she was already married!
Lucas felt like it was a sign of disrespect.
"You seem to have a knack of charming men wherever you go," he sneered.
"It was just a harmless conversation over our time at high school!" Melody countered exasperatedly.
Lucas snorted. "Know your place, Melody. Your actions reflect not only on yourself but on the Riveras too."

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...
