"This is also our fault. He had always been more antisocial compared to the children growing up in other healthy families. I've even wondered if he cannot love, but he's always been good to me and my husband. Now, it seems he might have difficulty realizing whom he truly loves. Melody, you must trust my judgment as the third party. I won't force you to be with Lucas if he doesn't have feelings for you," Beatrice admitted.
Melody felt even sadder after listening to Beatrice. She and Lucas had put on so many acts in front of her and Cedric, never expecting them to take it seriously. The more she heard Beatrice speak, the sadder she felt, realizing that perhaps Lucas really did not love her at all.
"Grandma, I understand what you mean. You and Grandpa have been so kind to me. I'm truly touched by the love you've shown me, which is even more than what I've experienced from my own parents! Even if Lucas and I part ways in the future, I'll definitely come back to visit you often."
What Melody said startled Beatrice, and she immediately grabbed Melody's wrist. "Melody, don't say such things. Did something happen recently? I've already asked you many times, but if you truly don't want to tell me, then I won't ask anymore. But you have to at least let me know what's going on between you and Lucas. There must be a reason why you are separating, right?" she interjected.
Melody did not want the elderly lady to keep guessing, so she explained the incident with Thalia and the intimate photo of her and Lucas. Beatrice's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter as she listened.
"Feelings cannot be forced, and I think Lucas likes Miss Thalia. It's best for everyone if I voluntarily step back. I don't want to be that insensitive person," Melody concluded.

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...
