Beatrice immediately grasped Melody's gripe. Thalia's presence in the house did not bother Melody much—it was Lucas' lack of consideration in neglecting her feelings that did not sit well with her. Furthermore, Thalia's several years' worth of friendship with Lucas dampened Melody's confidence in herself and her connection with Lucas.
"I understand where you're coming from, but I was the one who told Lucas not to tell you, and I apologize for that. I won't deny that he has some history with Thalia, but it's only because certain things happened in the past, and it was because of Thalia that he is safe and sound now. This was why he's been very attentive to her. Thalia had a sister, and before she passed away, she had requested Lucas to take good care of Thalia," Beatrice said.
Following a pause, she continued, "That being said, I'd still like to reassure you that there's nothing going on between them. If there was, it would've materialized into a concrete relationship before you showed up."
Beatrice knew her grandson well. He was not a coward, and he would have confessed to Thalia long ago if he truly had any feelings for her.
However, Melody did not anticipate that there would be such a connection between Lucas and Thalia. Melody smiled bitterly as she heard the explanation. She would have felt relieved after hearing that statement if she and Lucas were genuinely married, which they were not. She also wondered why Lucas did not ask Thalia to help resolve the misgivings and reassure his grandparents.
There were times when the situation might not be as clear-cut as Melody thought it should be. For example, Beatrice opined that no one—not even Thalia—could ever come between Melody and Lucas after observing their interactions. Yet Melody and Lucas remained in the dark and were not able to discern each other's true feelings.

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...
