Lucas did not say anything; he simply raised his hand and ran it through her hair. Even though they both used the same bath products, Melody always carried a more intense and fragrant scent on her body.
As he remained silent, Melody took on the role of livening up the atmosphere. "Grandma, how has your throat been lately? Did you try the honey I brought for you last time?"
Beatrice nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I did. My throat feels much better now. The honey you bought is really good. Even your grandfather, who's not fond of sweet things, finds it soothing."
Melody smiled. "I bought it from a beekeeper in the countryside. It has much fewer additives than those processed ones. It's pure and natural, so you and Grandpa can drink it without worries. I'll buy more next time!"
Meanwhile, Lucas was still playing with Melody's hair. For some reason, Beatrice was glaring at him.
"Lucas doesn't like to drink hot beverages; he starts his day with iced coffee despite my many warnings that it's not good for the stomach. Melody, it's good that he has you now. You need to remind him more often to stop drinking iced coffee so much," nagged Beatrice.
Melody pouted playfully. "Grandma, he won't listen to me. However, he listens to the two of you the most, so you and Grandpa should remind him frequently."
Beatrice chuckled. "Don't worry. You can tell me and Grandpa if he doesn't listen to you. We'll make sure to teach him a lesson!"
Melody deliberately leaned against Lucas' shoulder and looked at him smugly. "You heard that, right? I have Grandma and Grandpa backing me up, so you better listen to me from now on!"
Lucas was not annoyed; he even extended his index finger to gently brush against her cheek. "When did I not listen to you? Hm?"
His voice was deep, resembling cello tones, and there was a hint of amusement in it.
Melody's face immediately turned red.

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...
