Beatrice snorted after hearing it. "It's not like I'm missing a meal because of her. Go tell her to come to the house. I'll personally cook for her," remarked Beatrice.
"Yes, Madam!" Edmund respectfully acknowledged Beatrice's instructions, then conveyed the message to Stella.
Stella felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, but she could only maintain a polite smile as much as possible.
When Beatrice sought her out, it was definitely not just for a meal. Surely she had something in mind to talk about, was it not?
"Alright, I understand. I'll finish work tomorrow night and go visit Beatrice," Stella replied.
The next day…
Stella instructed her manager to reschedule all the appointments. After finishing work on the set, she took great care in dressing up, arriving early at the Riveras' residence.
Although Beatrice politely offered to cook for her, Stella could not readily accept. Going at mealtime might appear disrespectful to the elder, but arriving a bit early allowed her to present an image of being considerate and sensible.
At the entrance of the Rivera residence, Stella touched up her makeup in the car and adjusted her clothes before getting out and ringing the doorbell.
The servant who opened the door was not surprised to see Stella outside. Politely, the servant invited her in. "Miss Stella, please come in. Our Madam has been waiting for you for a while," the servant said.
Stella flashed a radiant smile and said, "Great, then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
As she walked into the residence's courtyard, Stella took out a bottle of branded hand cream from her bag and handed it to the servant. "Taking care of Grandma Beatrice and Lucas is surely hard work. This hand cream is from a foreign brand, a gift I received. I found it to be excellent, so you can give it a try."

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...
