Beatrice wanted Stella to taste the food decided by Melody to make that ignorant woman thoroughly aware of Melody's position in the family.
After some thought, Melody suggested without reservation, "Let's go with the soup. I heard Grandpa coughing the other day, so chicken soup will be good for his health. As for the dessert, how about we go with something light like apple crumble? What do you think, Grandma?"
Looking at the sensible Melody and caring so much about both herself and Cedric, Beatrice felt even more delighted. "I think that's a wonderful idea! I'm sure your Grandpa will be very happy to know you care so much about his health!"
Melody's cheeks turned rosy, making her even more charming. "Grandma, caring for you and Grandpa is the least I should do!"
Beatrice, increasingly satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law, said, "Your Grandpa and I will be able to die peacefully when the time comes as long as you and Lucas get along well with each other."
Melody quickly grasped her hand and said, "Grandma, what are you saying? No, no, no. You shouldn't say such things!"
She panicked a little too much, causing her spit to fly all over the place as she spoke. She immediately regretted it.
"Grandma, I didn't mean to spit all over the place…"
"Hahaha! Oh, my silly little girl."
Beatrice's hearty laughter echoed from the kitchen.
'That old woman appears so kind all the time, so why does she turn into a witch whenever she's with me?' wondered Stella.
Stella stretched her neck to see what was going on in the kitchen but could not make anything out. The smile on her face almost froze, while Lucas continued to read his company's document.
"Lucas..." She shifted her position, preparing to get closer, but Lucas stood up. He impatiently adjusted his tie, and Stella stood up as well.
However, Lucas coldly said, "I need to attend a video conference. Miss Stella, please wait here. Edmund, come with me to the study."
With that, he turned and walked away.

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...
