Melody felt a little awkward as she recalled Lucas' curt words to Sherman. The inferiority that she felt around Sherman during high school only intensified.
"Why are you alone? Where's Lucas?" Sherman was a little surprised to see Melody by herself, but his graceful smile quickly returned.
Melody reciprocated with a smile and said, "Lucas is chatting with a friend, so I decided to go for a walk on my own."
"A friend... Are you referring to Stella?" Sherman asked pensively.
Melody's expression soured at the mention of Stella's name. It seemed all too clear that Stella was indeed Lucas' childhood sweetheart. Otherwise, those around him—say, his cousin Sherman—would not have made the association that it was Stella right off the bat.
"You met her already, I take it?" Sherman went forward. "She's a celebrity with plenty of fans."
Melody nodded. "I have. She's beautiful, but I didn't recognize her at first glance because I don't usually keep up with the entertainment news."
"If I remember correctly, you never kept up with such news even when you were in high school. Other girls crushed on celebrities, but you didn't seem interested at all. You're still the same even after all these years."
She used to be a loner in senior high and never seemed to fit in with the crowd.
"I was just focused on my studies, so I didn't have time for all that," she replied with a smile and omitted any mention of the stress she had to face. It was not like she ever had a good time, anyway.
"Then…" Sherman hesitated before finally asking his question. "Then how did you and Lucas get together?"

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...
