The way Lucas called Melody 'dear' made Melody's heart flutter for a moment. They were so very close, so she worried that he would be able to hear her heart pounding.
Stella found it difficult to enjoy her food at all when she saw Lucas and Melody acting all lovey-dovey.
After the main course was removed, everyone was served a glass of apple crumble. Stella mechanically scooped the content and put it into her mouth. She might as well be eating wax since every food tasted like one to her at that moment.
Beatrice was in a good mood, feeling that she had achieved her purpose for the day. Any woman with eyes and a brain would have given up when they saw how in love Lucas and Melody were with each other.
"Miss Stella, you don't seem to have much appetite. Or is this apple crumble not to your taste?" Beatrice asked with a smile.
Stella came to her senses, immediately scooped up a large spoonful, and stuffed it into her mouth. "No, it's delicious! Ah—"
Her eyes were already teary when she raised her head again. She stuck out the tip of her tongue pitifully and spoke somewhat unclearly, "Lucas, it hurts so much..."
At that moment, Beatrice had already sent someone to get ice.
"Just close your mouth and talk less if it really hurts," said Melody sincerely, though her tone was indifferent. She could tell that Stella was pretending, but she did not bother to expose it.
Lucas stood next to Melody, looking indifferent.
Stella felt even more wronged. Tears began to stream down her cheeks. "It hurts..."
"Alright, stop talking. Ice can numb the pain." Before Stella could continue to act pitiful, Beatrice sent someone to stuff ice into her mouth.
Stella was rendered unable to speak.
"Miss Stella, you're too careless. You even managed to burn your tongue while eating apple crumble."
Stella could not speak, but she felt quite displeased.

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...
