Lucas stood up immediately, his body casting a shadow over Melody.
"Take off your coat. Let me see if there's any injury," said Lucas with a pure and unwavering gaze.
Melody blushed instantly. "Uh, no need for that. I'm totally fine…"
Lucas looked at her with a hint of disbelief as he knew how strong-willed she could be. He had seen the kind of people her parents were.
Growing up in such a family, Melody had learned to hide all her pain as even getting hurt was seen as a nuisance by them.
This made Lucas feel even more concerned.
"Listen to me." Lucas' hand rested on Melody's shoulder, his tone gentler than usual but still assertive. His actions were firm, leaving no room for opposition.
Melody continued to resist him, anxious to the point where her neck turned red.
"No, it's okay. I'm not injured. I already explained in the car, didn't I? I managed to divert the three thug's attention with money when they were about to attack me. To get the remaining money, they didn't even touch a hair on me after that."
Melody's eyes widened. She wished she could jump a few times in front of him to prove she was not injured.
"They couldn't have been gentle when they tied you up. Maybe you got hurt on your back, and you haven't noticed it yourself. Let me take a look!" Lucas' hand did not loosen; he insisted on checking.
Melody's face turned so red, it seemed like blood could drip from it.
'We're not even real husband and wife, so what gives him the right to take off my clothes?' thought Melody.
Even though Lucas only intended to remove her jacket, she was wearing nothing but a camisole underneath.

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...
