"I heard that you're quite famous right now," remarked Beatrice.
Many distinguished families frowned upon the entertainment industry, assuming it was filled with debauchery.
Stella immediately waved her hand and said with fake modesty, "No, I'm not really that famous. I'm just lucky, I guess."
She hooked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Also, Lucas often helps me out in managing the relationship with the people in the industry. It's only through his efforts that I've managed to get to where I am right now. Madam Beatrice, rest assured that I don't really mix around with the people in my industry unless necessary. In fact, I spend most of my free time at home."
"That's enough," said Beatrice with a haughty smile. "I was just asking. You didn't need to explain so much! In fact, I don't have any biases against actors or actresses. After all, my granddaughter-in-law, Melody, is now a very talented actress herself. I'm eagerly waiting for her film to be released!
"By the way, did you notice the interaction between Lucas and Melody just now? They are a very loving couple, and no outside interference from any misguided women can affect their relationship."
The phrase 'misguided women' was obviously aimed at Stella, but she pretended not to understand. "Madam Beatrice, I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at…"
"You're a smart girl, Miss Stella. Many things in life can't be forced. I called you here to talk about this, hoping you won't get caught up in unnecessary complications."
Beatrice could not have made it more clear, but Stella continued to act as if she did not understand.
She widened her eyes innocently. However, despite being an actress, her performance then appeared terribly amateurish in Beatrice's eyes.
"Madam Beatrice, I think you've misunderstood. Lucas and I are good friends, and I have a great relationship with Melody as well. Really!" She nodded eagerly to emphasize her sincerity.
Perhaps someone else might have believed her, but Beatrice certainly did not.

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...
