The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1983

"How would I know when she debuted? Dad, I just feel like she's been plotting against me all along. She refuses to leave us alone! She'll only get more out of hand in the future if you don't put her in her place this time!"

Wendy was furious. Her eyes were red, and anyone unaware might think she had truly suffered a great injustice. "Dad, I have a way to deal with her, but I don't know if you're willing to help me."

Ethan looked at her doubtfully. "What's your plan?"

"It's..." Wendy approached Ethan and shared her plan with him.

After a moment, Ethan nodded and permitted her to carry out the plan.

...

Melody was dining with Sherman at a restaurant near their old high school. They reflected on the old days, so the mealtime was very enjoyable. Melody felt less reserved than before, too.

After the meal, Sherman offered to drive Melody home. However, she declined again.

"Sorry, Sherman. I know you mean well, but Lucas doesn't like me getting too close to other guys. It might lead to another round of misunderstanding if he sees us together. I'll just take a taxi home," she explained.

Sherman did not insist further. He went with her to get a taxi and watched her leave before walking alone to the entrance of the high school.

As Sherman took in the familiar sights of the campus, a swirl of emotions tugged at his heart.

'Is it really impossible to undo those missed chances?' wondered Sherman.

Melody took a taxi back home, only to find Lucas waiting for her in the living room with a stern expression.

'Why is he back today?' Melody wondered curiously.

She was not quite used to him being at home, so she walked in slowly. "Lucas? How come you're back today?"

[Who is this sl*tty spokesperson? No wonder she got such an amazing job opportunity right from the start!]

[Ah. It's because she has powerful allies.]

[How dare she use that kind of connection to climb up and snatch others' opportunities? Well, count me out from buying anything she endorses in the future!]

[I heard the original spokesperson wasn't her. The sudden switch must be because of these connections!]

"What… What's going on? Who took these pictures?" Melody looked up at Lucas in panic. "Lucas, please don't believe this! It's not what it seems. Let me explain..."

"The photos are pretty clear. What's there to explain? I only haven't been home for a few days, yet you can't even keep it in your pants for that long?" Lucas had no patience for Melody's explanations. He stood up to leave.

"Lucas! Wait..." Melody threw down the iPad and hurriedly grabbed his hands. "It's not what you think. The pictures are misleading. Sherman and I didn't do anything! I just... I just went to shoot an ad for his company!"
