Finally, not wanting to be humiliated anymore, Stella made up an excuse and bade the Riveras farewell.
Beatrice did not bother keeping her. Lucas just lifted his chin, signaling a servant to see her off without any attempt to persuade her to stay.
Melody looked at Beatrice, and then at Lucas, thinking that it would be rude to have a servant see Stella off. However, when she raised her head, she saw Stella glaring at her fiercely.
Melody furrowed her brow when she sensed the hostility coming from Stella. 'Why is she looking at me like that? Forget it. I was thinking of seeing her off, but I don't want to be alone with her now. Who knows what tricks she might pull on me again?'
After Stella left, Beatrice had her maid take her back to her room. Lucas and Melody also returned to their rooms since they no longer had to act.
Melody sat on the sofa in the bedroom, assuming a possessive posture without leaving any space for Lucas.
Lucas glanced at her, then proceeded to unbutton his cuffs, take off his shirt, and casually toss it onto the table in the walk-in wardrobe. Every action of his seemed to be telling her that he was not happy.
Just a moment ago, Melody was intimately leaning on him downstairs. The moment others left, she immediately distanced herself, claiming the entire sofa.
'Does she not want me to get close to her at all? She's quite the dedicated actress. She's the gentle Missus Rivera publicly, but behind closed doors, she can't wait to keep me at arm's length. She's behaving as if I'm poisonous!' thought Lucas.
"You won't be able to find your clothes when it's time to wash if you throw them around like that," grumbled Melody.
She then stood up. Although her tone was disdainful, her actions showed that she was going to help tidy up his clothes so that the servants could pick them up together for laundry later.

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...
