"You brat, how am I making things complicated? I'm taking care of Melody, alright? I just wanted to check on her, but you and your grandpa kept stopping me! Aren't you two worried about her living all alone?"
Beatrice could not help but feel a pang of heartache at the thought of Melody cooking and doing laundry all alone.
"Melody is only temporarily moving out. It's not like she's permanently leaving. Why are you two being so cold toward her? Lucas, you better explain clearly what happened today. Otherwise, why won't you let me see her?"
Beatrice's intuition was always sharp, and Lucas found himself speechless. Initially, he had planned to let Melody video call Beatrice using his own phone to show that he had visited her, but then the unexpected happened.
"Grandma, there's so much going on at work every day. It would wear me out if I had to report everything to you. You can just call Melody if you want to see her. It's so easy now with smartphones. Even if you don't know how, Grandpa can help you, right?"
"Tsk, are you blaming me now? I just want you and Melody to have more time together, so you can give us a great-grandson sooner. It's not like we're insisting on a great-grandson; a great-granddaughter would be just as wonderful. Your grandpa and I would be very happy either way."
Beatrice and Cedric were both getting old, and Lucas was their only grandson, so they especially hoped to see him settle down and start a family soon. While he had already established his career, they still want to see him start a family.
Before meeting Melody, Lucas had shown little interest in women, causing even his elders to suspect whether he liked girls at all. Fortunately, everything fell into place after he met Melody. Thus, Beatrice and Cedric cherished their granddaughter-in-law deeply.
"Grandma, you're thinking too far ahead. We're still young. We don't want to have kids so soon," Lucas explained.

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...
