Stella felt embarrassed when Lucas pulled his arm away from her. However, she hid it away with a smile and said, "Oh, my bad. What was I thinking? Sorry, Lucas. I'll make sure to come up with a better plan for your next birthday."
She held his arm again. "Don't be angry with me, please? It's your birthday today, so you should be happy!"
"I'm not angry." Lucas sighed. He could not be mad at a face like that.
"Thank you." Stella smiled cheerfully. "I've booked a room at the club next door. Let's go there for a drink and celebrate your birthday with everyone! I know you're not a fan of sweets, but you must take a bite of this cake. After all, I went to a lot of trouble to get this cake!"
Stella did not seem to be taking no for an answer, so Lucas glanced at Melody who was standing next to him. He contemplated for a moment before nodding.
"I knew you'd agree." Stella stood at his side with a big smile. She was relieved that he did not turn her down.
"Let's go, everyone! It's party time!" said Stella to the crowd.
Everyone cheered and gathered around Lucas and Stella as they moved to the club. Melody was being pushed away from Lucas. She stood still and watched Lucas leave the room with the crowd.
Melody was not interested in partying with a group of strangers, especially when Stella was around. After hesitating for a while, she decided to still go in the end.
She would not have known it was Lucas' birthday if Stella had not thrown a party for him. That explained why Beatrice bought the movie tickets so randomly and asked them to go for a movie. It was to celebrate Lucas' birthday.
She always assumed that Lucas was not a responsible husband, but apparently, neither was she as a wife. Even though they were married by contract, she should at least know her husband's birthday, so that she could at least prepare something for him, like what Stella had done.

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...
