At that moment, Melody seemed like a completely different person from the one who ignored him at the door.
Lucas gazed at her with probing eyes.
'What's wrong with her again?' Lucas wondered.
Melody noticed his gaze and nervously asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like this dish?"
"No, I love it!" Lucas picked up a forkful and tasted it.
Despite their personal feelings, they had to keep their act in front of Cedric and Beatrice.
Throughout the meal, Melody played the role of the ideal wife, serving Lucas with unwavering devotion. Lucas, in turn, accepted everything she offered, even though there were a few dishes he was not particularly fond of.
Beatrice had her doubts about whether there was some conflict between the two, but as she observed their interactions, she became more at ease.
After the meal, Melody found an excuse to go back to their room. Playing the act of a devoted wife was draining. She found the whole thing quite cringy and nauseating.
Lucas entered their room just after Melody finished showering.
Melody combed her hair, which she had just blown-dry, and sat on the edge of the bed. She then said nonchalantly, "Grandpa and Grandma probably haven't returned to their room yet, so you should wait a bit before going to sleep in the guest room later."
In the past few days, Lucas had not been home much. Even when he was back, he always slept in the guest room. Consequently, they hardly get to spend much time in the same room.
After a brief acknowledgment, Lucas headed to the bathroom for a shower.
When he came out, Melody was sitting on the balcony with a cup of milk on the table.

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...
