Lucas had to have a soft spot for Stella. They were childhood sweethearts after all, and his entire demeanor toward her was a stark contrast to his distant attitude with Melody.
The thought of that left Melody feeling downcast. She viewed the Riveras' estate as a temporary place to stay, as she would end that marriage and leave Lucas forever after a year.
"What's gotten you so lost in thought, Melody?" Beatrice's question snapped Melody back to reality.
Melody forced a smile. "Oh, umm… Nothing much, Grandma. I was just thinking about what I should cook for breakfast tomorrow."
"As much as I love your delightful cooking, you shouldn't trouble yourself with these duties. Lucas married you because he wants to give you a good life," Beatrice stated earnestly.
Melody was a responsible young woman, but Beatrice could not bear to see her doing those duties at home. After all, the Riveras did hire servants to do all that.
Melody understood that Beatrice did not want her to toil at home, but she viewed the simple act of cooking some meals for the old lady as a way to ease her mounting guilt of living a lie.
"Speaking of Lucas," Beatrice began worriedly. "Did he say what came up? I wonder what it is that needs his attention at such a late hour."
Melody froze. If Beatrice learned that Lucas sent Stella home, their sham marriage would be exposed.
Lowering her eyes, Melody avoided Beatrice's gaze and explained, "He told me it was an urgent company matter."

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...
