Stella had never left a good impression on Beatrice, and she disapproved of their relationship. At this moment, it became clear that the discord between Melody and Lucas was due to Stella's meddling.
Melody was jealous.
"Let's do this, Edmund," said Beatrice after a moment of silence, coming up with a solution. "Go find Stella and tell her that I, as a senior, want to treat her to a meal. See when she's available to grace me with her presence."
The implication was clear—Beatrice intended to personally handle the matter with Stella. Edmund silently mourned Stella in his heart for a few seconds. "Yes, Madam, I'll go right away."
Leaving the Riveras' residence, Edmund drove to Stella's filming location and located her agent. Just as Stella finished her scene, upon hearing that Edmund had come, she felt particularly delighted. 'Lucas must be worried about my health, and he sent Edmund to check on me.'
"I need to quickly touch up my makeup." Stella changed her clothes at the fastest speed possible and went to find Edmund with a beaming smile. "Where's Lucas? Didn't he come?"
"Mister Lucas didn't come, Miss Stella. Today, it's Madam Beatrice who specifically asked me to find you," Edmund replied.
As soon as Stella heard Beatrice's name, the smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by surprise and wariness. "Madam Beatrice? Why would she want you to find me?"
"The Madam wishes to have a meal with you. She just doesn't know when you'll be available, so she sent me to inquire," Edmund conveyed Beatrice's intention accurately.
Upon hearing that Beatrice wanted to have a meal with her, Stella became even more astonished. From a long time ago, Stella had known that Beatrice did not like her.

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...
