Since Melody left, Lucas became increasingly distant from Thalia, and she could not understand what he was thinking.
At that moment, Lynette brought out a cup of hot milk from the kitchen for Lucas. It was a habit that Melody instilled in Lucas when she was at home. Due to his stomach issues and occasional social obligations, Melody would always prepare a cup of warm milk for him to drink before bedtime whenever he returned home.
That night, since Lucas had eaten outside, Lynette heated some milk for him upon his return and was about to bring it upstairs to him.
Thalia quickly stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Lynette, please give me the milk. I'll take it up to Lucas. I have something to discuss with him."
However, Lynette calmly avoided her outstretched hand and replied, "You're a guest, Miss Thalia. How could I let you do such a thing? If Miss Beatrice finds out, she'll surely criticize me for being an incompetent servant."
Some of the older members of the household could see through Thalia's feelings for Lucas, but since he had not voiced any intention of sending Thalia away, they could not say anything either.
However, they had spent much more time with Melody than with Thalia, so their affection for Melody was greater.
Thalia always put on an air of superiority when interacting with them and sometimes even showed impatience, which made it clear that she looked down on them. Over time, they realized that Thalia was not genuinely nice to them; she was just putting on a show in front of Lucas and Beatrice.
Melody, on the other hand, never behaved like that. She genuinely respected everyone from the bottom of her heart. Thinking of this, Lynette became even more reluctant to hand the milk over to Thalia.

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...
