Lucas did not look like an ordinary person. He was tall with a commanding presence. Heck, he even dared to infiltrate the thugs' lair alone. In other words, he possessed a courage far beyond the ordinary.
"Yo, did you wander into the wrong place?" The guy with the buzzcut swung his knife, adopting a threatening stance against Lucas.
They were all prepared for a fight, thinking that they could easily handle the intruder together.
Lucas smiled coldly. "Get lost."
"What did you say? You want us to get lost?" questioned the blonde angrily, but several fully armed police officers appeared from another direction!
"Stay where you are! Drop your weapons, and put your hands on your head!"
The thugs were used to bluffing. They had never encountered such a massive show of force before.
The blonde instinctively followed the officers' commands. Frightened, the guy with the buzzcut tried to escape but was swiftly subdued by the incoming police officers. He ended up tightly bound on the ground, unable to move.
"Ugh… Ah!"
Only after confirming that all the thugs were restrained did Lucas cautiously approach and carefully untie Melody's hands and feet.
Melody, still in shock, instinctively embraced him.
"You came after all... Do you know how scared I was that you wouldn't come?" Melody's tears quickly dampened Lucas' neck.
Frowning, he apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry for being late."
Melody could not stop crying. As much as Lucas wanted to check if she was hurt anywhere, he found himself waiting motionlessly for her tears to dry.

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...
