'Why does she keep pushing me to another woman? Does she have no heart at all?' thought Lucas.
Lucas walked over to Melody with a darkened expression. It was obvious he was in a bad mood.
"It's true that I've known Stella for many years, and I've explained everything to you. There's nothing more I can say if you still don't believe me there's nothing more. Melody, don't forget you're my wife right now. Do what you're supposed to do, and don't reveal anything in front of Grandma and Grandpa. Play your role well!"
Melody's hand, which was combing her hair, froze for a moment. She let out a bitter laugh and said, "Don't worry. When have I ever let you down in playing the role of your wife? It's you who should not keep an eye on Miss Stella lest she expose our secret to Grandma."
"Always sharp-tongued as usual. I guess that's your only skill!" Suddenly, Lucas leaned in and held Melody's chin. Her skin was soft to the touch, and there was a lingering fragrance as she had just taken a shower.
Melody's expression in the makeup mirror seemed particularly stubborn. She snorted gruffly. "Hmph! I can say the same about you!"
The atmosphere between the two was still tense when they were in the room. However, as soon as they descended the stairs, they immediately acted sweetly to each other.
Lucas then held Melody's hand, causing her to be momentarily stunned.
Lucas cleared his throat and said seriously, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just doing it to make our act more believable. You're an actress now, so shouldn't you be better at acting than me?"
Unexpectedly, Melody did not argue with him. Only she knew that she had misunderstood something, but unfortunately...
The two women downstairs had different expressions.
Beatrice saw Lucas and Melody holding hands as they descended the stairs. The more she looked at Melody, the more satisfied she felt. She was determined to dispel certain unwarranted thoughts in the minds of some people regarding her granddaughter-in-law.
Stella naturally noticed this, too. She had anticipated Beatrice would not summon her for anything good. Indeed, it was all to make her see the scene before, hoping to discourage 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...
