Stella made it seem that Lucas was after her, and she turned him down because of her commitment to her career.
"In fact... I know about the nature of your relationship with him."
As Stella spoke, a hint of guilt appeared on her face as she closely watched Melody's expression. "For years, Grandma Beatrice has been pushing him to get married and has arranged many blind dates for him. He had no choice but to ask you to be his shield."
Melody suddenly lifted her head, looking surprised. "What are you saying?"
"You're quite pitiful, marrying someone in a fake marriage at such a young age. Even though it's fake, you've gone through the proper procedures and obtained a marriage certificate. When you truly get married next time, it'll be considered a second marriage. Gosh… I'm afraid your future boyfriend might find fault with that."
Since signing the contract with Lucas, Melody had strictly adhered to its terms, never revealing the contractual marriage to anyone. However, Lucas had informed Stella.
The fact that such a private matter was disclosed made Melody think that there must be something special between them. However, Lucas clearly told her that he and Stella were just ordinary friends, nothing more.
Who was telling the truth? Who was deceiving her?
Melody was starting to lose clarity.
Sensing her changing expression, Stella wore a smug smile.
In truth, Lucas had not mentioned any of these things to her. Stella was just testing, and unexpectedly, the reaction she got was quite satisfying.
After the meal, Melody could not shake off her unease.

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...
