Melody's eyes were filled with bewilderment and innocence. Tears also welled up in her eyes as if they were about to spill over any second.
"Of course not! How could I ever suspect you?"
Melody smiled bitterly. "Really? Do you truly believe me? Or are you just saying that to comfort me? I don't want to hear lies. I want you to tell me the first thought that came into your mind when you heard what happened. Sherman, do you really think I'm a bad person?"
Sherman did not know what Lucas had said to Melody, but her demeanor was clearly off, like some sort of stress response.
"I've never thought you were a bad person. On the contrary, you're the kindest person I know. Heck, you're even reluctant to take revenge when the others have wronged you. The Melody I know is always so positive and uplifting. Tell me, why do you doubt my trust in you? Did someone say something to you?"
Melody's eyes remained wide open as if she could not believe Sherman's words.
"Really? I'm not as perfect as you say. I feel jealousy, I feel injustice, and sometimes I wonder why it couldn't have been me who got hurt. That way, I wouldn't be suspected..."
Melody curled up in the passenger seat, her legs not even feeling the pain anymore.
Sherman glanced at Melody and felt especially heartbroken. He had known her since their school days, and Melody had always been optimistic, beautiful, and kind to others.
However, there would always be one or two people maliciously tarnishing Melody's reputation because of Wendy's instigation. Upon learning about it, Melody would just smile faintly, unwilling to have those around her seek revenge on her behalf.
"Maybe these people were just in a bad mood and needed someone to take it out on. I'm pretty sure they won't say such things about me anymore when they're in a better mood."
Melody often counseled her roommates the same way, but sometimes her friends would get even angrier than she did.

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...
