"I'll be relying on your magical touch today, Evelyn," said Melody.
Evelyn waved her hand. "Oh, these dark circles of yours are nothing to worry about. Your face saves me so much work on ordinary days. Even after staying up all night, your complexion is enviable. Look at this face; it's still so radiant. Now I understand what they mean by 'genes determine beauty.' No amount of cosmetic procedures could match this face."
Melody blushed shyly.
Evelyn was a very cheerful young woman, and every time she saw Melody, she would passionately praise her complexion, and Melody would graciously accept the compliments.
By the time Lucas arrived, Melody's makeup was almost done. He appeared at the set silently, catching everyone off guard with his unannounced presence. Some observant crew members quickly reported this to Shaun, while Lucas casually grabbed someone and inquired about Melody's whereabouts.
"Miss Melody is currently having her makeup done in her own dressing room," the crew member replied.
Immediately after learning Melody's location, Lucas swiftly made his way to her dressing room. This place was familiar to him as he had visited it many times before.
Evelyn was chatting and laughing with Melody when suddenly the door burst open. The man who entered caused Evelyn's eyes to light up, but the next moment, she recognized him and immediately averted her gaze.
The smile on Melody's lips slowly faded as the two locked eyes through the mirror. Lucas frowned slightly. 'She's so much thinner,' was Lucas' first thought.
Although there were no visible dark circles or swelling on Melody's face anymore, she appeared delicate and not overly done up. However, Lucas sensed weariness in her eyes, even though she wore a smile on her face.
Lucas remained silent, and it was Melody who eventually broke the silence.

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...
