"I have indeed kidnapped your grandson. How about it? You should know why I am calling you, right?"
Beatrice had cried herself hoarse, so Cedric took over the phone.
"Name the price! We'll pay you whatever you want! Just return the grandson safely!" said Cedric.
"Huh! Spoken like a true wealthy man! Rest assured, we don't like killing either. As long as you meet our demands, we'll gladly return your grandson. But there's one thing: we don't like dealing with the authorities. So don't blame us for doing something extreme if you call the cops!" threatened the leader viciously.
"Alright, I'll do whatever you say. Just tell me your demands," replied Cedric.
The leader grinned menacingly, blowing smoke from his cigarette into Lucas' face, causing him to cough. Cedric heard it and panicked.
"Lucas! Lucas, are you okay?"
Lucas tried to steady his voice as he said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. Don't worry. Both you and grandma shouldn't worry."
"Haha, what a good grandson you are, still comforting your grandpa in such a situation. No wonder your grandparents dote on you. Since they care about you so much, they probably wouldn't mind paying 15 million dollars to buy your life, right?"
"You want 15 million dollars?" asked Cedric.
Of course, their family net worth exceeded that amount, but how would these kidnappers take away such a sum?
"Prepare 250,000 dollars in cash for me, and the rest can be wired to an account. I have my ways. You don't need to worry about it," the leader replied before preparing to hang up.

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...
