Melody remained silent and avoided Lucas' outstretched hand, walking ahead alone.
Thalia followed behind with a face full of grievance. She pouted and looked at Lucas but found that his attention was entirely elsewhere.
Thalia reluctantly suppressed her feelings, but her heart was already filled with resentment.
Beatrice and Cedric were waiting at the door. Melody had called them when she was still in the car, and they eagerly anticipated her return.
It had been several days since they last saw Melody, and they were not able to visit her at the hospital. They were eager to know how she was doing.
"She's back! Melody's back! Welcome back, sweetheart!" Beatrice hurriedly descended the steps, her movements so swift that Cedric struggled to keep up.
Melody quickly walked forward, winning a few steps and grabbing Beatrice's arm.
Beatrice, genuinely concerned for Melody, sighed after giving her a thorough look. "You've lost weight. Why are you so skinny now?"
Melody had not noticed it herself, but as soon as she heard Beatrice's concerned tone, she could not help but feel her eyes welling up with tears. She had already received the most sincere and genuine love from the two elderly people. What more could she possibly want?
"Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. I lost weight because lying in the hospital made me lose my appetite."
Beatrice, however, disagreed. "How could lying in the hospital make you lose weight? It must've been tough for you. Can't you stay back this time?"
As Beatrice spoke, she also glanced at Lucas. She did not spare half a glance for Thalia, who was trailing behind him. After all, she was uncomfortable with the idea of her staying with them.

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...
