Melody used to think she was not good enough, and that was why her parents liked Wendy more. However, later she realized there was nothing wrong with her. She did not need to be exceptionally special for anyone to like her.
It was only after truly experiencing the blatant favoritism her parents had for Wendy that she found Cedric and Beatrice's unconditional love toward her especially touching. It turned out that there was really someone in the world who would stick up for her and pat the back of her hand so gently.
Beatrice even felt apologetic about neglecting Melody after Thalia arrived. Melody had never experienced such kindness before.
Beatrice wiped away Melody's tears gently. "My poor child, you've suffered unfairly. Don't worry, I'm going to do everything I can to fix this problem. Just remember that you're a Missus Rivera now. As long as I'm here, I won't let any other women come in between you and Lucas. I'll also get Lucas to apologize to you. He was wrong in how he had handled this matter."
Beatrice suddenly recalled the night when she noticed Thalia acting strangely in the kitchen.
"Logically speaking, even if he was asleep, Lucas would definitely wake up if someone was messing with him like that. Unless he was drugged…"
Beatrice's head shot up suddenly. The encounter with Thalia in the kitchen that night gave her an epiphany. She finally realized why Lucas had fallen asleep on the couch!
"After all, Lucas wouldn't fall asleep on the couch no matter how tired he was. Plus, it wasn't even that late. He wouldn't normally fall asleep that early. When I went to his study, I even ran into Thalia. She said she was worried Lucas might catch a cold so she put a blanket over him when she went in to get a book, but I saw her earlier in the kitchen. That woman must've done something to Lucas' drink. Otherwise, he would've woken up when Thalia moved him around!"
Everything made sense to Beatrice, while Melody only felt a creeping sense of dread.

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...
