"Oh, did Grandma Beatrice say so? Miss Stella, please feel free to indulge. Make sure to eat more later." Melody pursed her lips, maintaining a calm expression.
Stella smiled, arching her eyebrows. "Absolutely! I must eat more of Grandma Beatrice's dishes! She still treats me just as she did before. When I was little, I used to come to the Rivera household often to play with Lucas. At that time, Grandma Beatrice would often buy us candies to enjoy!"
Indeed.
Stella and Lucas had grown up together, so Beatrice must have known her for a long time. Moreover, given how attractive she looked, she must have been pretty in her childhood. Facing such a delicate little doll, Grandma Beatrice must have watched her fondly.
Oddly enough, Grandma Beatrice did not play matchmaker for Lucas and Stella.
If they had been together, she would not be here.
Melody could not figure it out and decided not to dwell on it any longer.
"Miss Melody, you and Lucas have been married for quite some time. You must've tasted Grandma Beatrice's home-cooked meals by now!" Stella stared closely at her expression, sensing a momentary awkwardness on her face.
Stella pretended to be surprised, covering her mouth. "Oh, my! Melody, really? After all this time, Grandma Beatrice hasn't cooked for you yet?"
Melody furrowed her brow. She could sense that Stella was subtly trying to showcase the strong bond between herself and Grandma Beatrice, both openly and behind the scenes.
No matter. They could enjoy being friends with each other. It was none of her concern.

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...
