Melody initially took on this role just to make money, with no intention of becoming an entertainer. As she delved into the entertainment industry, gaining insights into its true nature, she realized that her decision might alter the course of her life.
Fear crept in.
Nonetheless...
"Even if I wasn't prepared, it's too late now. I've signed the contract, and the penalty for breach is steep. I'm already drowning in debt, and if I add a breach of contract, I'll never get out of it in this lifetime."
"I've said it many times that you don't have to repay the money you owe me. As for the penalty, if you decide not to continue with this role, I'll take care of it."
Melody was surprised by Lucas' words. Regardless of whether she decided to leave the production or not, she could not let Lucas bear the burden of the penalty for her. She owed him a great deal, and she could not burden him further.
"No need, Lucas. Thanks for your kindness, but I'll handle it." Melody made a decision, smiling as she spoke, "Since I promised Shaun to film this movie, I must uphold the spirit of the contract, keep my promises, and insist on making it well. Besides, War Song is a captivating project, and I don't want to give up on it just like that."
"Alright." Lucas' visit was not to make her abandon the film. Since she was not intimidated and was ready to continue filming, he did not need to say much.
"Well, I'll take my leave. If you ever encounter any troubles, feel free to call me."
Lucas implied that the Riveras would be Melody's support should she need it. Whenever she faced insurmountable difficulties, Lucas would step in to help her.
Melody was stunned. Even though she dared not hope for Lucas to help her like this, the fact that he said it made Melody's heart feel warm. "Well, thank you, Lucas."

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...
