Melody did not immediately head upstairs when they arrived at the hospital. Lucas spent some time with her downstairs for a stroll to help her digestion. She indulged herself with a few extra pieces earlier because of the rather plain food she had been eating recently, so she ended up feeling a little uneasy as a result.
"You can always have some more next time. Why'd you have to eat so much at once and make yourself feel bloated?" Upon seeing her discomfort, Lucas contemplated asking the doctor to prescribe her some medicine.
Melody rolled her eyes at him. "Couldn't you see how happy Grandma was when she saw me enjoying my food? I finally get the chance to go home, and seeing them being so welcoming to me helps a lot in improving my appetite."
"Are you implying that you tend to lose your appetite when I'm the only one around?" Lucas gritted his teeth, feeling a little irked that she did not seem to appreciate how challenging it was to take care of her amid his busy schedule.
Melody was caught off-guard by that sudden question. "Why would you think that? I'm not ungrateful. You've spent so much time rushing over to take care of me that you've lost a little weight. I can see that pretty clearly, you know? It'll be my turn to take care of you when I'm back tomorrow. You just need to worry about work. I'll spend more time with Grandpa and Grandma too."
"They have Thalia at home now. You don't need to worry too much. You should be more concerned about yourself," Lucas answered.
Melody's smile faded. They had known Thalia for a long time, so there was no need for an outsider like her to interfere. "You're right. I shouldn't be in over my head about this. Thalia can take good care of them at home, and they have plenty of servants too. I shouldn't worry so much about them."
Lucas frowned after hearing what she said. A sense of unease came over him. He wanted to explain himself, but Melody had already walked ahead of him and left him without a chance to do so. He was not trying to tell her that her return was not important. Rather, he simply wanted her to stop worrying.

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...
