Lucas thought that Melody should act if she wanted to act. However, he would not allow a repeat of what happened.
He was aware of the public backlash against Shaun's crew, but managing public opinion required patience. The most effective time to clarify things would be when public negativity peaked.
Lucas had already planned ahead. He knew deep down that Melody would never give up acting.
He went home to get some casual clothes for Melody. As he got out of the car, Thalia came running toward him.
"Lucas, you're back!" Thalia seemed to be in a good mood. She hugged his arm, wanting to walk inside together. However, Lucas calmly withdrew his arm.
"Lucas, you must be tired from taking care of Melody in the hospital," Thalia said.
"No, you stay here. I need to talk to Lynette about something."
Thalia frowned, insisting on going with him. "What are you going to talk about? Can't I listen? Do you know how boring it is for me alone at home?"
It was not a big deal, and she could certainly listen, but when she mentioned being bored at home, Lucas hesitated.
"How about I arrange for you to go back to Molomia? I'm going to stay busy for quite a while and won't have time to take care of y—"
Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Thalia burst into tears.
Panicking, Lucas asked, "Why are you crying again? Did I say something wrong?"

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...
