At least in the future, Melody would not have to worry about her family dumping their messes on her again. Sometimes, she wondered if they were really her parents, but rather found her by the dumpster. Why else would they despise her so much?
Her mother even treated Wendy better than herself. The only time her parents ever thought of Melody was when there was a mess to clean up. Otherwise, they were blissfully unaware of their second daughter.
Melody's face darkened, and her mood turned sour at the thought of her family. Having left that family did not mean she could completely forget everything that happened in the past. After all, she grew up and lived there for twenty years.
Just as the atmosphere between Melody and Lucas became tense, there was a sudden knock on the door. Lucas looked displeased, wondering who could be so oblivious as to knock while they were alone.
'Couldn't it have waited?'
Melody, oblivious to Lucas's mood, let the person outside in only to find it was Sherman. Surprised, she exclaimed, "Sherman, what brings you here?"
Caught off guard, she even forgot about her injured left foot and stood directly on it, only to cry out in pain and collapse into a chair.
Both Lucas and Sherman rushed to her side at the same time.
"What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten that your foot isn't healed yet, you foolish girl?" Lucas' tone was very harsh, contrasting with his gentle actions as he handled her foot.
Melody frowned. In reality, her foot was almost fully recovered; it just hurt a bit from the sudden jab on the ground.

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...
