Lucas rubbed his fingertips, the lingering soft sensation from Melody's ear still not fading. He was not sure what was happening, but he felt like he was not done enjoying it. "Sorry. I accidentally touched it when I raised my hand," he said.
Melody glanced at his serious face suspiciously. "Is that so?"
Lucas' eyes darkened at the way she was scrutinizing him. "You think I did it on purpose?"
Melody remained silent. 'Does he think I'm that presumptuous?'
…
Lucas did not even spare Stella a single glance throughout the entire time.
Stella kept looking over at him, thus appearing absent-minded to Beatrice.
"Go ahead and stare at Lucas all you want, Miss Stella, but he'll never be yours, no matter how much you look at him."
Stella snapped back to reality, awkwardly smiled, and resumed playing the victim. "Madam Beatrice, it seems like no matter how much I explain, you've already made up your mind about me, so why don't we leave it to time? Time will tell whether I'm innocent or not. Melody is also working in the entertainment industry now and often attends social events. Rest assured that I'll take care of her then."
Beatrice, unwilling to beat around the bush, retorted, "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't need others to take care of her. I've said my piece today. I hope you'll take my advice. The relationship between Melody and Lucas isn't something you can come in between. Has Lucas ever given you a meaningful glance after looking over at him so many times? Go back, Miss Stella. We've been walking for long enough, and I'm tired."

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...
