Melody smiled and said, "I wouldn't say I suffered that much. Lucas probably had it worse than I did. He had to travel to and from home just to take care of me. You can see he lost weight."
"Sigh! When will you learn not to keep all the pain and suffering to yourself? You need to show a little bit of weakness in front of men, if you get what I mean. Lucas is my grandson, so I know him better than anyone. Two hard-headed people will have trouble communicating with each other," said Beatrice.
She then added, "Don't you think it'd be much better if you could speak with each other in a nicer tone instead of arguing all the time? The key to communicating as a couple is to be tactful. He didn't let me and Cedric take care of you because he was worried for our health, and I decided that I shouldn't bother you so you can have some time to be alone with each other."
"But I'm happy to have you and Grandpa Cedric around. It doesn't bother me at all. Lucas and I will always welcome you with open arms," Melody insisted, her voice sincere.
Cedric and Beatrice had been so kind to her, and they would never be bothered by her.
"I know what you're trying to say. We wouldn't have allowed you to be with Lucas if we didn't know the kind of person you were. Speaking of which, you were keeping your sadness to yourself when you came back and saw Thalia again, didn't you?"
Melody bit her lower lip at the mention of that name and did not know how to react. Nothing could escape the old couple. Beatrice understood Melody well, and Melody's sad response should not come as a surprise after Thalia had shown up there.
"I told Lucas not to tell you about this in advance," Beatrice said, surprising Melody with that statement. She had initially thought that Lucas hid it from her.

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...
