Melody bit her lip as she looked at Lucas. "You must be joking, right? You make it sound as if you can be by my side all the time."
Lucas looked at Melody, and they locked eyes silently.
After a long while, Melody looked away first, knowing that it was all impossible. She did not want to insist. He was the president of a listed company, much busier than her, a minor actress.
"Are you only going to be happy if you go to the dormitory? If you stay at home, I can still see you and take care of you, but once you go to the dormitory, I—"
Melody turned back with a smile. "Don't worry. I've only injured my left foot. I'm not completely disabled. Besides, Thalia is also injured and needs you to take care of her. You'll be overwhelmed taking care of both of us. At least your burden will be reduced a little if I move to the dormitory."
"You're angry," stated Lucas simply. "Thalia and I grew up together. I can't just ignore her."
Melody sighed. 'He knows I'm angry, yet he still mentions Thalia in front of me. This man is truly hopeless when it comes to understanding women.'
"I know you've always been grateful to her father for saving you, and that's something between you two. There's no need to tell me again. Anyway, if you agree, please take me to the set tomorrow. Consider it my last inconvenience to you."
Lucas was annoyed by how determined Melody was. Since Melody was so insistent on making trouble for herself, he decided not to persuade her otherwise.
"Fine, it's your choice. Don't regret it."
"I never regret."
Melody did not look at Lucas. She only heard the door slam shut shortly after.
'Seems like he won't be coming back tonight,' she thought.
Despite their unpleasant argument the night before, Lucas appeared promptly at the breakfast table the next morning. After Melody calmly finished her cereal and exchanged greetings with Beatrice, Lucas stood up to accompany her to the set.

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...
