"Well, there is something I'd like to talk to you about, but let's eat first."
Melody was in a great mood as she kept thinking about how she would soon be able to pay off her debt. She was so excited that she held Lucas' arm and pulled him into the house.
Lucas took a glance at her hands on his arm. There was a subtle shift in his heart.
When he saw the dining table full of dishes, he was quite sure that something was off about her. "You must have something big to talk to me about, right?"
"We'll get to it later. Let's eat first," answered Melody with a playful smile. She sat him down, served him a bowl of stew, and said, "It took me hours to cook this stew. The meat is all soft and tender now."
Since Melody insisted on saving the topic for later, Lucas decided to let it go and took a sip of the stew.
The stew tasted amazing. She definitely put a lot of effort and time into it. After a sip, he raised his head and saw her expectant eyes.
"How is it?" Melody had never looked forward to a compliment as much as this. She wanted to know what he thought about her cooking.
"Not bad," answered Lucas with a nod of approval. He could not say otherwise when she looked at him like that.
Melody was glad that he approved of her soup. She then sat down to have dinner with him.
"Grandpa and Grandma said that they won't be home tonight because they have a gathering with their old friends," said Melody.
"I see," said Lucas indifferently.
Beatrice and Cedric did not usually tell him where they were going, so he became unconcerned about their whereabouts. However, he did station some men to watch over them.
Melody waited patiently for Lucas to finish his dinner. When he was almost done, she finally broke the news to him.

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...
