Upon hearing Melody's words, Lucas stopped in his tracks and lowered his head to apologize seriously. "I was wrong in this matter. I spoke out of turn and shouldn't have been so careless with my words. I'm sorry, I won't speak to you like that again."
Meeting his sincere gaze, Melody's pent-up grievances surged. She bit her lip, her eyes moist, but she did not want to shed tears anymore.
"Forget it. As long as you know you were wrong, that's enough. It's clearly not my fault, but you immediately blamed me..."
Melody's tears flowed down her cheeks onto Lucas' arm.
Even though Lucas was wearing long sleeves, Melody's tears still stung him. He had not expected his inadvertent mistake would cause Melody so much pain, nor had he realized that Melody was not as carefree as she seemed on the surface, and that she harbored a lot of resentment and hardship inside. It was just that Melody was good at acting, so she never let others find out.
Lucas stopped in his tracks, looked into Melody's eyes, and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry. I apologize once again."
Melody did not know if she could trust him anymore. They had argued before, and Lucas had apologized each time. However, when it came to Thalia, Melody always seemed to be the one who needed to take a backseat.
'If I could never become the most important person in his heart, how can I truly have this man?' thought Melody.
Melody did not want just a little bit of his love; she wanted all of his love. She buried herself deeply in his embrace, putting aside everything else for the time being. At least at that moment, she had all of him.
Beatrice was startled when she saw Lucas carrying Melody back. "Oh, what happened? Is Melody injured?"

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...
