Sherman kept a close eye on Melody's changing expressions.
The phone call already raised Sherman's suspicions, and her expression at that moment made him even more suspicious about the actual relationship between her and Lucas.
"Lucas can be a bit aloof. It must be quite exhausting for you to deal with him, huh?" Sherman casually remarked, but he carefully studied her face.
Melody, as if finding a confidant, nodded. "Exactly! He can be reserved, and his mood swings can be quite unpredictable. Sometimes, it's tough to understand him, and it's just so frustrating!"
"Unpredictable mood swings?" Sherman repeated with a raised eyebrow. He then continued, "Lucas might appear that way to outsiders, but since he married you, it's most likely that he likes you. How, then, could he be so cold toward you?"
Melody sighed dejectedly. "Who knows? Sometimes I don't even know what I've done to irk him. He's really difficult to communicate with!"
"No way! If Lucas treats you like that, why did you even marry him in the first place?"
The doubts in Sherman's mind intensified. He somehow had a feeling that there was more to their relationship than meets the eye.
Melody shook her head. "Sherman, you have no idea how challenging Lucas can be! If it weren't for..."
Melody intended to share her grievances, but a sudden realization made her clamp her mouth shut.
She completely let her guard down around Sherman. With him being an unexpected confidant in her frustrations with Lucas, she nearly spilled all her inner turmoil.
In other words, she almost revealed the nature of their contractual marriage.
"What's going on?" Sherman felt he was getting close to an answer, but Melody suddenly chose not to continue.

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...
