Lucas frowned. He was about to say something, but Melody gently stopped him by shaking her head. She then turned coldly to face Helen and Ethan.
"Yes, I've met a wealthy man, and that's why I don't think of you two as my parents anymore. Don't forget, we severed our ties long ago. You've already taken three million dollars from me, so you two have no right to stand here and lecture me!"
"Why you!" Ethan could not believe Melody would be so ungrateful. He erupted in anger. "No wonder you're so arrogant now, Melody. You found a stupid man outside to support you! Let me tell you: it's fine if you don't have any sense of shame, but you should not ruin our family's reputation! Now you've even landed your sister in jail. What are your intentions? Is it that you want to destroy our family completely?"
Helen quickly placed a hand on his chest to soothe him. "Honey, don't get worked up. It's not worth ruining your health for this ungrateful girl."
She then turned back to glare at Melody, resentment evident in her eyes. "Apologize to your dad this instant, you ungrateful girl! Our family would've been able to live peacefully if it weren't for you. It's all your fault. There's never been a single day of peace in our home ever since you were born! Now you've harmed your sister, I really wish..."
"Really wish what? Really wish to strangle me, right? You think I want to be your daughter? Being born as your daughter is the unluckiest thing that ever happened to me! You're not the only one who thinks I shouldn't have been born. I wish I didn't have you as my mother as well!"
Melody's eyes burned with coldness and irony. Her whole body trembled while she was uttering those words. She might have collapsed if it were not for Lucas supporting her.
Ethan and Helen became even more furious at her retort, causing their insults to get even more vulgar.
"You shameless b*tch. Do you think you can say or do whatever you want just because you have the support of a wealthy man? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror first?! You're nothing but a wh*re!"

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...
