"Lucas, are you implying... that I deliberately pushed Miss Thalia down?"
Lucas frowned quickly but then relaxed the next second.
"I didn't mean that, but you should know what happened here. You claim not to know and even avoid my gaze, so how can I trust what you're saying?"
Lucas felt like he knew Melody well; she would not act so evasive if she were innocent.
"Huh! Just because of that, you think I've pushed Miss Thalia? Have you ever considered that she might have fallen by herself? Don't forget, I'm still using crutches!"
Melody's hands were trembling slightly. Although she had become quite adept at walking with crutches, her muscles would still feel sore after a while. In fact, she was starting to feel unable to hold on any longer.
However, Lucas' attention was all on Thalia, who was still lying unconscious on the ground. Thus, he was completely oblivious to the fact that Melody was about to fall.
Melody chuckled at herself, knowing that she would never be a priority to Lucas whenever Thalia was around. She had known it for a long time, but why did it still hurt?
Lucas had not even bothered to understand the situation fully, yet he had already concluded that she was the one who had hurt Thalia. It did not matter what the truth was because he had already decided on the conclusion in his mind.
At that moment, Sherman suddenly grabbed Melody's arm from behind to steady her.
"Melody, are you okay?"
Melody turned to Sherman with gratitude. "Thanks for your concern, Sherman. I'm fine."
Sherman looked worried. He could see through Melody's forced smile. After all, how could he not?
However, he still had no idea what happened in the restroom moments before, and it was inappropriate to stay there. There were already many customers gathering to watch the commotion.

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...
