Melody rubbed her temples as she sat on the sofa. She felt drained, and she was just about to close her eyes for a moment's rest when her phone buzzed with a message.
Thinking it was a reply from Lucas, she opened her eyes slowly and picked up the phone.
[Hey, Melody. Have you slept?] The message was from Sherman, rather than Lucas.
She typed back in a neutral reply. [Not yet, but soon. Thanks for sending me back today.]
[You're welcome. We should keep in touch. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.]
Melody stared at the phone for a while and sent a polite emoji in response before setting it aside.
She was not naive. Sherman's attitude toward her during their encounter felt like more than just friendly nostalgia. Alas, she was in no position to reciprocate.
All of a sudden, the sound of a car engine resonated through the silent night. Melody got up and walked toward the balcony.
Lucas had returned, and she wondered if he had seen her message. Beatrice was still waiting downstairs, and she already knew that the old lady was going to ask him some questions. Worried about exposing her lie, Melody considered going down. However, she hesitated and drew her hand back when she reached for the doorknob.
Perhaps it would be better for them to just wait and see.

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...
