Since Lucas had spoken, Melody had no choice but to force herself to smile and say that the wedding was not urgent. "We still have plenty of time, Grandma. There's really no rush for the wedding."
Beatrice could not help but feel sorry for Melody. Which girl did not long for her wedding? It was not like the Riveras were poor, so why not have the wedding?
"Lucas, put down your phone. You're rarely home, and when you are, you spend two-thirds of your time on that stupid phone. What's there to look at anyway?"
Melody saw that Beatrice was really angry, so she quickly stepped in to ease the situation for Lucas. "Grandma, maybe there's a lot going on in the company for him. With great power comes great responsibility, and it's not good to ignore others' messages."
"He shouldn't bring his work home! This has been a rule in our family for a long time," Beatrice said with a frown. "After dinner, either go for a walk or take Melody upstairs to rest. Don't look at your phone!"
Lucas could not argue with his grandmother. He put away his phone and took Melody upstairs. As they stood up, Lucas did not forget to hold Melody's hand.
…
After watching the young couple go upstairs, Cedric sighed and said, "Perhaps something is going on at the company?"
"Hmph. I know my grandson the best! Whatever can be solved at the company will never be brought home," Beatrice said firmly.
Cedric noticed Lucas' phone lying on the sofa. At that moment, a text message arrived, and the phone screen lit up.
[Lucas, can you come to my place? I'm really scared.]

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...
