Lucas had a good idea of the reason behind Melody's unusual behavior. He asked, "Is it really bothering you that much about the gossip of me being with another woman?"
"O—Of course not! You're overthinking! I… I don't care at all!" Melody stammered.
"Is that so?" Lucas clearly was not buying her sophistry, but neither did he expose her for lying.
Melody's eyes flickered with undisguised panic. "I just think that during the contract period, you should maintain a clean image and not be seen with other women in hotels! Otherwise, it'll be hard for me to explain it to Grandpa and Grandma!"
There was a brief silence before Lucas explained, "I know. But Stella got injured while filming today, and she had no one else to help her. I just gave her a ride to her hotel, that's all."
Melody was somewhat surprised that he bothered to explain. She met his gaze and asked, "Uh, why are you telling me this? It's not like I asked you to do that."
"Stella and I have been friends since childhood, so there are certain things I can't ignore. With that said, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding between us. The press likes to make up stories, and I've already asked Edmund to bury those false reports," he calmly clarified.
Lucas' calm, open demeanor made it hard for Melody not to believe his words.
'Is what he said true?' wondered Melody. She pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably cheerful. She awkwardly shifted her gaze away.
"Fine, I believe you. Can you get up now? I'm about to run out of breath!"
"No," replied Lucas coldly without giving her a good reason.
Melody's cheeks flushed as she struggled to control her racing heart. "This position is just too weird. It's not appropriate for a conversation! Stop fooling around and get up!"
"Inappropriate?" Lucas lowered his head slowly. "Have you forgotten that we're married now?"
Melody felt her heart pounding, yet she lacked the strength to push Lucas away.

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...
