Stella's home, meanwhile, was in utter chaos. The candlelight dinner she meticulously prepared for Lucas had turned into a farce. All that effort went to naught because of the old woman's meddlesome behavior. Had Beatrice not interfered with Lucas's affairs, Stella was convinced that he would have visited her after seeing her message.
"I'm sure Lucas still has feelings for me. I'm sure of it... Just wait for me, Lucas. I'll overcome any obstacles in my way, even if it involves having to deal with your relatives. I won't let you go that easily!" she gritted her teeth and declared.
The red wine trickling down the wall added to the intensity of the atmosphere, making her look like someone who had been driven to insanity.
When Stella arrived on set the next day, her face was noticeably swollen. She had drowned out her anger with a full bottle of red wine the previous night.
She took off her sunglasses to reveal her bloodshot eyes. Her manager was startled to see her condition. "What happened to you? What did you do last night? Don't you remember that you have an important scene to shoot today?!"
The frustrated manager asked an assistant to bring over some eggs and ice cubes. "There's another half hour before filming starts. Here, take these ice cubes and use them to reduce your awful swelling!"
Stella, however, was still worked up because of the previous night's events and completely ignored the advice.
Determined to discover what drove Lucas to ignore her for Melody, Stella initiated an investigation into Melody's background. She wanted to know just how far Stella was able to win over the old lady's trust.

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...
