"Yes, Grandma. I understand what you mean. Don't worry," replied Lucas.
Satisfied, Beatrice said, "Alright, I'll be waiting for both of you to come back. Let Melody know that we'll be making her favorite food for dinner."
"Alright. Please ask the cook to make some soup. She really liked the chicken soup last time," added Lucas.
Beatrice became even happier at Lucas remembering what Melody liked, causing her to smile like a blooming flower.
After hanging up the phone, she called Cedric over to join her in the kitchen to oversee the preparation of dinner. "I'm so happy. That boy Lucas has finally learned to care for Melody!" said Beatrice emotionally.
Cedric, on the other hand, felt that she was too overly concerned before. "Men will naturally learn once they've met someone they like. We don't need to worry ourselves with them. They'll find it annoying if we meddle too much."
After hanging up the phone, Lucas turned around and—with a commanding tone—said, "Free up your evening. We're going back to have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma."
"Okay," said Melody with a resigned sigh.
During the contract period, all her time belonged to Lucas. She performed during the day and continued acting at night. She wondered when this kind of life would come to an end.
They each occupied one side in the backseat of the car. When they arrived home, Lucas asked her to stay in the car for a moment. He got out first, walked over to her side, and opened the car door for her.
"Missus Rivera, are you ready?" Lucas extended a hand. There was a fleeting hint of 'gentleness' in his gaze.
Melody forced a stiff smile. "Of course I'm ready, Mister Rivera. I'm a professional, after all."

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...
