"A middle-aged couple are arguing with the police. They're insisting that their daughter didn't commit any crime and demanding her release," replied Edmund.
Lucas, feeling annoyed, put his hand on Melody's shoulder and tried to steer her forward. He wanted to leave the scene as quickly as possible.
Melody did not pay much attention to their conversation, but before they could take a few steps, a woman rushed toward them.
"So you're here too, you troublesome girl! Is it not enough for you to cause trouble for us when you were still living at home? Now you have to frame your sister, too? You're the reason she's being detained by the police? Is it too much to ask you to stop causing trouble for us?"
The woman was none other than Helen. Ethan followed a few steps behind, and his face contorted in rage as well when he saw Melody.
"Melody, you worthless piece of sh*t! It's bad enough that you don't listen to us, but what has Wendy ever done to you? Why are you doing this to her? Her life will be ruined forever if she ends up with a criminal record! And that'll be your fault!"
Melody frowned and took a step back. Her head hurt at seeing her parents there, though she had anticipated this reaction from them once they found out Wendy was in the police station. Throughout her life, she had grown used to their habitual neglect and blame.
Thus, she felt somewhat indifferent. She coldly listened to their accusations, not uttering a word, not showing a reaction.
On the other hand, Lucas had not met Melody's parents before. He could not tolerate it when he saw them pointing fingers and almost poking Melody's forehead, especially considering she was the victim.
"Hey, put your hands down! Use your words!"
Lucas, being tall and strong, swiftly intervened. He pushed Helen's hand away.
Helen recoiled, clutching her hand and crying out in pain.

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...
