Lucas pulled Melody out of the Parr Group building, and they got into the car.
"Melody, do you turn a deaf ear to everything I say? I just warned you yesterday to be more mindful about your status as my wife, yet you still come so eagerly to Sherman's company today?"
"What are you talking about?" Melody could tell by Lucas' expression that he was misunderstanding her intention again. "I came here for an interview. I didn't even know Sherman was the president!"
Lucas scoffed and sarcastically responded, "Aren't the two of you old school friends? Do you expect me to believe that you didn't know he's the president?"
"I really didn't! Yes, Sherman and I were high school buddies, but we didn't keep in touch much back then. I don't know anything about his family. I just needed a job." As feeble as Melody felt her explanation was, she still had to say it out loud. She did not care whether he believed it or not.
Lucas grabbed her wrist. "Who allowed you to go out and look for a job?"
At that moment, Lucas' gaze turned icy as if Melody had committed a grave mistake.
"Hey... Let go of me." Melody pulled her arm forcefully, trying to break free from his grip. "Lucas, you're hurting me! What are you doing?"
Lucas gripped her arm even harder, not giving her a chance to break free. "You're my wife now. You don't need a job, especially not in someone else's company! It would only bring disgrace to my family! People will think we're mistreating you!"
"Ouch!" Melody could not help but whimper with tears of pain.
It was only then that Lucas let go of her arm. He realized that he might have been too forceful. Glancing down, he was surprised to find not just the red mark he left but also several scratch marks on Melody's arm.

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...
