"Didn't I tell you you don't need to work?" Lucas was starting to get impatient.
'I told her that she didn't have to repay the three million dollars, yet she insists on finding a job. Can't she just be at peace?' he thought.
"Lucas, I know I don't have to work while I'm part of your family, but that won't be the case a year from now. What am I supposed to do then? I'm not like you. I don't have endless money. I still need to work!"
That was something Lucas had not considered. Their contract was only for a year. After one year, they would peacefully divorce. Moreover, she could not go back to her own family since she had severed all ties with them. There was nowhere she could go, so she had to come up with a backup plan.
"When the time comes, I'll have Edmund arrange a house and a car in your name. I'll also give you a sum of money after the divorce, so you don't have to worry about anything at all," said Lucas after a minute of silence.
He had indeed arranged things quite appropriately. He decided to provide her with a house, a car, and even money for her future. Melody would not need to worry about her life after the divorce if he were to proceed with this plan.
Melody shook her head. "You've given me a lot. Besides, we're not a real couple, so I can't possibly take more from you."
Melody entered into the marriage contract with Lucas to escape from her family. Lucas, in turn, helped her by giving three million dollars to her family and providing her with a monthly allowance. What he provided was more than enough.
Lucas did not expect Melody to refuse; such generous terms would be tempting for any woman. Nonetheless, he did not force her into accepting. "So, what kind of job do you plan to look for next?"

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...
