Lucas grunted and said nothing more.
Meanwhile, Stella relished her meal. When they had finished eating, Stella was already mentally prepared to part ways with Lucas, but to her surprise, he offered to take her home.
"Are you sure? Don't you have company matters to handle?" Stella asked, blushing.
Lucas nodded. "They're not urgent. I have some time to see you off."
"Okay." Stella lowered her head shyly and put on a coquettish act by tucking a strand of hair behind her ears.
Lucas, however, ignored her and got in the driver's seat. His coldness left Stella a bit disheartened, but she quickly snapped herself out of it. "It's fine. I have all night."
Since he had offered to send her home, she needed to seize the opportunity to get intimate with him. As they say, 'best to strike while the iron is hot.'
When Stella arrived at her doorstep, she was just about to invite Lucas in when he himself said he would like to relax at her home for a moment. Stella was over the moon at how smoothly everything was going on that day. Melody's absence seemed to make everything go her way.
"Sure! I just acquired a painting recently. It's the work of one of your favorite painters. I have it displayed in my bedroom. Would you like to see it?"
She was so forthright that her intentions were almost plain for all to see.
"I didn't know you were a collector."
"I'm not, but I decided to because you like it."
Stella could not resist leaning against Lucas, so he raised his hand to support her. The force he used was a little too strong, and Stella was in some pain as a result.
If he were Stella, he would have chosen to keep any evidence in her room. More importantly, she probably did not have the time to dispose of that evidence because there would not have been enough time to do so.
"Right?"
As Stella turned, Lucas suddenly held her shoulders. "I didn't hear what you just said earlier. Could you please say it again?"
"I said..." she repeated shyly, "you and I met first. If Melody hadn't butted in, you and I would've been a couple."
"... Your face is dirty," Lucas remarked, pointing at her cheek.
"What? Where?" Stella covered her face quickly because she did not want to look unattractive in front of 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...
