Melody lowered her gaze, realizing that Lucas chose not to stay because he did not love her. Nonetheless, she tried to reason in Lucas' stead.
"He has a lot on his plate, and it's only right of him to go back to work. In fact, I'll be going to the movie set later."
Melody smiled, but the tears in her eyes made Beatrice even more distressed. "What happened afterward? How did Lucas find out you were kidnapped?"
Melody bit her lip. "I had the kidnappers swipe one million dollars on the supplementary card Lucas gave me, and he immediately sensed something was wrong and came to find me. If it weren't for Lucas's keen instincts, I might've..."
Beatrice's gaze turned cold. "Poor child, I'm sorry you had to go through that. Have you figured out who was behind the kidnapping?"
Melody found it difficult to speak. How could she say that the one who harmed her was her own sister?
"It was...Wendy."
"That name sounds familiar," said Cedric with a pondering expression.
Melody sighed. "You're right, Grandpa. That's because she's my sister."
"What?!" Beatrice and Cedric found it absurd. How could a sister conspire to harm her own sibling?
Beatrice advised Melody not to go to the film set later.
"It's too dangerous. Besides, it's understandable to take a day off after experiencing such a scare yesterday. I can call the director for you if you don't feel comfortable to do so."
Beatrice was about to take out her phone to make the call when Melody quickly held her hand.

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...
