Lucas glanced over and did not seem bothered that Thalia remained at the door of the house. He was holding a small luggage bag filled mostly with Melody's belongings and only about two or three sets of clothes. When Thalia extended her hand to take it, he skillfully avoided her and handed it to the servant who had come to assist him. "It's too heavy. You won't be able to lift it."
Thalia pouted and expressed some sympathy for him. "Why do your grandparents seem more interested in Melody's well-being, rather than yours? They didn't even wait to welcome you. It saddens me a little, actually."
Lucas did not understand why Thalia felt saddened by that. He came home at least once every two days, and his grandparents were likely not that excited to see him around. Besides, there was no point for either of them to stand at the gate and brave the cold wind. His grandparents were old, and Melody had just recovered too.
He considered Thalia to be a bit sensitive, but he chose not to dwell on it.
"You seem to be getting along with Melody. Does this mean you're less busy this time around? Could you take me out for a walk if you have the time?" Thalia harbored hopes of having some alone time with Lucas as the old couple's scrutinizing gaze at home made her suffocate. After all, she knew that they did not want her to have anything to do with Lucas.
Thalia scoffed at their efforts, determined never to give up on Lucas. She vowed to make the old couple understand eventually that she was the one truly suited for him.
As Lucas and Thalia entered the house, Melody was already savoring her meal. She turned and said excitedly to Lucas, "The clams today are super fresh! You should try 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...
