Thalia's impulsive escape into the forest was indeed causing trouble for them. What if there were poisonous snakes or wild animals inside? There was no guarantee of her safety!
Thalia was not naive either. After running into the forest, she found a relatively secluded spot and crouched down. Once she was sure that Lucas could not see her, she stayed there quietly.
Lucas, not far behind, chased after her but could not spot Thalia. His face darkened. How could a person of her size suddenly disappear from sight?
At that moment, Melody ran over with her phone in hand.
"Don't rush into the forest just yet. I've called and informed Grandpa and Grandma to send more people to help with the search. The forest is large and deep, and if we go in now, they'll likely have to scatter their search teams. Let's wait here for now," Melody suggested.
Lucas furrowed his brows grimly. "Don't stop me. I'll go look for her first. Don't you know she isn't familiar with this place at all? If we wait here, she might run farther away. Then it'll take us longer to find her! You wait here for Grandpa and Grandma while I go in and search for Thalia."
Lucas' tone was icy, leaving Melody utterly confused. She opened her mouth and stood there dazedly.
'What did Lucas mean? Is he blaming me for causing Thalia to run into the forest? I didn't say anything wrong! What did he mean by saying it wasn't I who got lost, so I didn't care? Would I have asked him to run after Thalia and call Grandma if I didn't care?'
Lucas' harsh words felt like a bucket of cold water, leaving Melody chilled to the bone in the seemingly endless forest. Melody could not help but feel a sense of injustice. After all, she had done no wrong.

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...
