As expected, Beatrice saw the rumors even though Lucas had buried those stories.
"Grandma, I'm sorry for troubling the family again," Melody apologized.
Beatrice smiled and took a sip from her tea cup. "Silly girl, I’m not here to blame you. You're family now, so your problems are our problems. It's just that I don't know how to respond to those who ask me about this."
Melody did not expect Beatrice to embrace her as a part of the family. In fact, she had expected Beatrice to give her a harsh scolding. Thus, she was immensely touched, and her guilt intensified at the same time.
Beatrice was so kind to her, yet she dragged them into this mess.
"Grandma, things are not as they're portrayed online. Those photos were taken out of context, and the man in the photos was my senior in high school. We're nothing more than friends," Melody explained.
She knew her explanation sounded feeble, but it was the best she could do. She just hoped Beatrice would believe her.
"Grandma, I have a way of proving my innocence. Wait for my return."
Instead of relying on such feeble explanations, Melody decided to find evidence as soon as possible to prove her innocence.
Melody got up and hurriedly ran out the door. She then got into the car Lucas had arranged for her. "Edmund, take me to Parr Group."
"Miss Melody, Mister Lucas has instructed me to take you somewhere else first."
Melody was taken aback. "What? Where?"
Edmund did not answer but simply drove the car away.
20 minutes later, they arrived at city hall. "Miss Melody, Mister Lucas is waiting for you inside."

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...
