Beatrice nodded. She understood Lucas' character well, especially his occasional bouts of obstinance. Moreover, she observed a level of tolerance in his relationship with Melody that he rarely extended to other people.
Lucas' interactions with Thalia seemed like tolerance, but Thalia usually based her actions on Lucas' every move. She maintained certain boundaries despite playing coy and teasing him. The fear of Lucas growing bored with her held Thalia back from crossing any lines that could make him turn away without a second glance.
When it came to Melody, however, the dynamic changed entirely. They showed tolerance toward each other, and Melody unknowingly influenced Lucas to do things he never considered doing before.
Whenever he argued with her, he discovered that he could repeatedly lower his once unyielding bottom line for each person. There were even instances when he was willing to forgo countless things as long as Melody paid attention to him.
Melody, however, remained oblivious to those revelations. From her perspective, she and Lucas were always at odds with each other.
As an observer, Beatrice quickly noticed those little details. Few were brave enough to argue with Lucas, and even those from families with backgrounds almost equal to theirs would defer to him. Having weathered the cutthroat world of business, Lucas exuded a cold and decisive demeanor when dealing with peers.
Meanwhile, Melody was fearless when facing him, demonstrating her unique place in Lucas' heart.
"Your hands must be freezing after being outside for so long. It's about time we go back in. Lucas won't be happy with me if the cold wind from our little stroll affects your recovery," the old lady advised. She was concerned about Melody's well-being, and Lucas had grown so attentive to her health that he even fretted over minor injuries.
Melody felt a pang of embarrassment. Lucas' concern had reached an unprecedented level. Even a minor scratch on her finger could become the subject of lengthy interrogation, which Beatrice was very pleased about.

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...
