Lucas noticed Thalia's certainty and it seemed as though she had overheard someone criticizing her.
"It'll be fine. If anyone talks behind your back, just let me know. I won't let anyone make you feel uncomfortable," Lucas assured her.
His earlier hesitation in inviting Thalia seemed justified, as he felt that it was more difficult to keep an eye on her if she stayed elsewhere. He simply needed to care for her as long as she was there, and all of that would be over once she returned to Molomia in a few days.
Thalia's eyes turned red, and she seemed reluctant to stay there. "I know I've already caused you a lot of trouble, and it wouldn't be good to continue putting this burden on you. I'm willing to stay on my own outside! I'll be fine, I promise!"
"No. Your health isn't exactly good, and it wouldn't be ideal for you to live alone outside!" Lucas frowned, realizing the severity of the situation.
Beatrice and Melody came in while chatting happily with each other, and they were startled by Lucas and Thalia's serious expressions.
Thalia instinctively sought refuge behind Lucas.
Beatrice felt a headache coming on when she saw that. Thalia's claim that she had no other intention toward Lucas stood in stark contrast to her actions. Melody sensed the tension but decided not to dwell on it, as she had already chosen to win Lucas over on her own terms.
Melody took the initiative to show concern and asked, "You seem a bit upset. Did something happen?"

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...
