Meanwhile, Lucas drove Melody back home after they finished their lunch.
Melody got out of the car, but when she noticed Lucas remained seated, she turned to ask him, "Aren't you getting out?"
"I have some things to take care of," Lucas replied.
Melody felt disappointed, and there was a bitter feeling in her heart. 'Is he going to find Stella?' she wondered.
Lucas gave a helpless smile when he saw her expression. "I haven't been to the office all day, and there are many things I need to do, so I can't afford to relax."
"You're going to the office?" Melody's mood brightened slightly with a smile. "Don't work too late. Your family is already wealthy, so you don't need to work so hard. Your health is more important."
Melody turned and happily skipped into the house.
Lucas' gaze involuntarily softened as he watched her go into the house. It was sort of nice to have Melody living with them. At least, his grandparents seemed to be in a good mood every day because of her antics.
He then collected his thoughts, started the car, and headed to the office.
…
Ever since her arm was burned that day, Helen had stayed at home for several days without going out. Wendy had not caused her any trouble, and despite Ethan's horrible personality, he still arranged for a temporary maid to help her clean the house.
It was the most comfortable days Helen had spent in the Sanders' residence in many years.
As Helen watched the injuries on her arm gradually heal, an unexpected thought crossed her mind—she did not want the wounds to heal so quickly.

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...
