Thalia called just to confirm whether Beatrice had said anything she should not have to Lucas. She had left early in the morning, fearing that Beatrice might stop her and ask what had happened last night.
Although she had brushed off Beatrice's inquiries at the time, Lucas was not sober then. She was afraid he would realize what had happened if he had been present.
However, to Thalia's relief, Lucas' voice sounded normal over the phone.
"Lucas, where are you? I came to the library this morning because there are a few books I want to read that I couldn't find at home. Can you pick me up when you go back?"
Lucas hesitated, his brows furrowing. He did not know when Melody would be off work, yet Thalia needed to go back.
"When are you planning to return? Didn't you have the driver take you this morning?" asked Lucas.
The Riveras' mansion was located in the suburbs, chosen with Beatrice and Cedric in mind. It was a bit far from the bustling city center, so they often relied on taking the car to go anywhere.
Thalia would not have been able to go to the library if the family driver was not free.
"I knew you'd be going back, so I had the driver return early. Can't you pick me up on your way back? Do you have other things to attend to? Is there a lot going on at the company today?" Thalia asked.
Lucas did not want to lie to her, but he really wanted to check Melody's daily meals. He would need to have Lynette prepare and send food over if the food in the cafeteria was not healthy.

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...
