After hearing that, Melody also found it strange. "Unfortunately, Miss Thalia quickly deleted the photo. If I had kept it, you might have been able to tell if it was taken that day."
Beatrice patted the back of Melody's hand. "Melody, I know you've been feeling upset and keeping it to yourself. It must have been difficult without anyone to comfort you. You silly child, why didn't you tell me earlier? At least I could've told you what happened that day."
Once again, Melody was so touched by Beatrice's concern for her that she started crying.
When her parents mistreated her, she had never been comforted the same way. Whenever Wendy faced injustices at school, she would lock herself in her room as she got home. That was when their mother would gently knock on her door.
Despite Wendy's impatience and insistence that Helen leave her alone, Helen would still knock on the door and ask her what had happened. She reassured Wendy that she would never have to endure such mistreatment again with her and Ethan's support.
Melody would always feel envious whenever she saw that happening. Their family had moved several times, and each time, their school changed too. Although Melody encountered mostly friendly people, there were still moments when she was bullied.
She vaguely remembered one instance when she had just arrived at a new school and had just introduced herself to the whole class. As she walked to the seat assigned by the teacher and sat down, the girl behind her maliciously pulled out her chair, causing her to fall to the ground in front of everyone.

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...
