Melody looked probingly at Lucas while he simply nodded at her.
Surprisingly, Lucas did want to take her to a movie.
"Alright, let's hurry and eat. The movie will start soon," Beatrice said as she stood up, pulling Melody to the dining room.
The servants had prepared dinner in the dining room. Beatrice sat Melody down and began serving her food. With a stomach full of questions, Melody ate her dinner. After finishing the meal, Lucas gestured for her to join him outside.
Despite feeling quite strange about the situation, Melody followed Lucas into the car. Beatrice and Cedric happily waved them away.
Once in the car, Melody could not help but ask, "Lucas, are you really taking me to see a movie?"
Lucas started the car, and without looking at her, asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"
"It's not that," Melody mumbled, looking down. It was not that she did not want to watch a movie; it felt odd to be going to the movies with him.
Lucas remained silent as he drove, and Melody did not initiate a conversation either. She just turned her head to look out the window, observing the changing scenery. It had been a long time since she last watched a movie.
Melody used to think that movie tickets were a tad expensive, so she was hesitant to go. However, she did go to the movies with friends a few times during her university years.
After graduating, Helen began to control her life. With no freedom and no money, she stopped going to the movies.

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...
