After the particular incident, Thalia had spent some time with Beatrice, and she found it difficult to get along with her. Beatrice even commented that she had changed. The comment unsettled Thalia for many years, prompting her to escape abroad after only a few days in the city.
After all these years, returning home still brought a sense of unease. Somehow, she had a gut feeling that it would still be challenging to get along with Beatrice.
Seeing Thalia genuinely nervous, Lucas suggested postponing the visit.
Thalia forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Grandpa and Grandma will be happier if I visit them as soon as I land. Otherwise, it might seem impolite. Besides, I just got back, and I don't know where to stay. So can I stay at your place for now?"
Thalia wanted to see how Lucas and Melody lived together. She hoped to understand, through these subtle clues, just how important Melody was to Lucas.
Lucas fell into a thoughtful silence, seemingly hesitant, at Thalia's request to stay with him.
"I have another place. How about you stay there? It might be more comfortable for you to stay there since you seem like you're worried about Grandma."
Thalia pursed her lips, somewhat displeased.
"Lucas, do you not want me to be a part of your life? Or is it because you have Melody now that you don't care about me anymore? I thought my trip back this time would bring us closer..."
Both Thalia's words and tone expressed her yearning for Lucas.
However, Lucas did not entertain any romantic thoughts for her. All he had for her was a sense of responsibility.
Thalia had just returned to the city, and she did not know many people there. Thus, he was somewhat worried about letting her stay alone.

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...
