Thalia put away her phone, feeling much better after reading others' criticisms of Melody. Recalling how angry Lucas was with her earlier, she started to plan how to change his opinion of her.
Returning to her room, Thalia looked at the water bottle on the table for a long time. Then, she approached and poured a full cup of hot water. After some thought, she added half a cup of cold water. All she needed to do was to make her skin red.
To win over Lucas, Thalia had to be ruthless with herself. She rolled up her pants and poured the water onto her ankle.
"Ah!" she cried out, then bit her lip tightly. Even though she had mixed in cold water, it still hurt terribly when the water splashed onto her skin.
Seeing her skin immediately swell up, Thalia limped over to the sofa. She trembled with pain but kept biting her lip.
At that moment, Lucas went back downstairs. With his tall stature and confident stride, he exuded a certain aura. Despite not giving interviews to the media, discussions about him on the app were constant.
It was understandable. After all, he was the youngest, wealthiest company president in the country with good looks to boot. Who would not be drawn to him?
Thalia, feeling envious, was determined to keep Lucas firmly in her grasp. Emigrating to Molomia with her family had been a big mistake, but since she was back, she had no intention of leaving.
Lucas, seeing Thalia still seated on the sofa without any intention of getting up, assumed she was still pretending about her foot pain. He frowned slightly, wondering when Thalia had developed such a character, always seemingly lying.
He walked up to her and asked, "Why are you still here?"
He did not expect to see Thalia's forehead slicked with sweat after she lifted her head. His frown deepened with puzzlement since it was not that hot.
"What's wrong?" he inquired because he thought she looked genuinely unwell.

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...
