Beatrice frowned at Thalia's remark. Lucas had probably never seen her act that petulantly before.
"Did you think I was worried that you'd come between them? I'm not. I just don't want their life as a young couple to be ruined by someone with ulterior motives. Have you ever considered that one day I might tell Lucas what you just told me?"
Thalia's excuse was to repay her sister's kindness, and while the Riveras did owe her sister—who was a genuinely good person—for saving Lucas, Thalia was not like her sister at all! Their characters were polar opposites!
To make things worse, Thalia had talked back against Beatrice, who simply found the situation rather amusing.
Thalia wiped away her tears, feeling aggrieved. "You can go ahead and tell Lucas everything. I don't care. But I won't leave until Lucas tells me to." She was confident that Lucas would not chase her away even if Beatrice conveyed everything to him. After all, she had no one else to rely on in the country and Lucas was the only person she knew well.
She was aware that Lucas was someone with a strong sense of responsibility and would not abandon her because he had already promised her sister to take good care of her.
"You're very sly," Beatrice remarked.
Thalia's eyes widened when she heard that and feigned innocence.

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...
