Lucas assumed that Melody was exhausted after the fright she had, combined with the threats from her parents. Without giving it much thought, he let her go. However, he could not help but frown as he watched her walk away.
Melody finally felt safe once immersed in the water. Her entire body relaxed.
She was dog-tired throughout the day. The distance between her and Lucas was not only a matter of the contractual agreement but also her family issues. Who would not want their wife to have a normal family?
She could not even achieve this most basic aspect.
'How gentle Lucas' grandparents are to him,' she thought.
Although they would sometimes lecture him, it was out of care and genuine feelings.
Melody never experienced that from her family. She was pleasantly surprised when after serving her some food, Beatrice looked after her expectantly, hoping she would enjoy the food.
She did not know whether Beatrice had noticed her surprise, but the look in her eyes toward her carried a hint of compassion after that. Melody envied Lucas, who was born into a place with both wealth and love.
Melody sighed softly, her face damp with water, making it unclear whether the droplets rolling down her face were tears or something else.
She carefully scrubbed every inch of her body, thinking how foolish she was not to notice that Wendy had developed deep-seated hatred for her.
Melody could not figure out what she had done wrong. It was ironic that even her parents could not articulate what exactly she had done wrong, yet they unconditionally favored Wendy without any apparent reason.
After all, their precious elder daughter was locked up in the police station, while Melody stood outside unscathed. How could they tolerate such a situation? They even thought that she must have schemed to get a remarkable man like Lucas.

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...
