"I don't usually meddle in other people's business, but you're now married, and Melody is my granddaughter-in-law. I have to speak up for her," Beatrice rarely spoke with such sternness toward Lucas. "Do you know how she returned home today?"
Lucas could not understand why she was asking that question. "Didn't Edmund send her back?"
Beatrice scoffed. "Edmund? Don't try to fool me! She returned in another man's car. One of our maids happened to see that and relayed that information to me! How could you let your wife take a ride home with someone else?"
Lucas frowned, wondering who it was that sent Melody back if it was not Edmund. It later struck him that it could have been Sherman. The thought made him incredibly unhappy. That woman had disregarded everything he said to her and continued to interact with Sherman!
"Melody is a woman. You married her, so you must respect her! Never let anyone else send her home again. She's your wife, which means she's your responsibility," Beatrice said.
Lucas did not show his displeasure in front of her and merely nodded in acquiescence. "I assure you that it won't happen again."
"Good," Beatrice said as she retrieved a brochure from her drawer. "And now that we're on the topic of making sure that Melody is treated right, you'll have to hold a proper wedding for her. I've consulted some wedding planners, so find a time to talk to Melody and see which ones she likes."
Lucas eyed the brochure but did not reach out to take it. "Melody and I aren't planning a wedding. She doesn't like grand things anyway, so a simple certificate will do just fine."
"Nonsense! You cannot deny a young woman her wedding after she willingly marries you! Did you really buy her excuse that she didn't want it? She's probably just a little shy. All women dream of walking down the aisle in their wedding dress!"

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...
