The servants Beatrice had summoned were those who frequently traversed the living room, so there was a chance they might have caught sight of what happened that evening.
Beatrice spoke politely, and they were unaware of the severity of the situation. It occurred to her that she should have questioned these servants earlier, particularly when she reviewed the surveillance footage and found no evidence of Thalia's crime. With no surveillance inside the kitchen, she did not have a surefire way of knowing what Thalia might have done to Lucas's drink.
"It's actually not a big deal. I'm just wondering if any of you happened to see what Miss Thalia did that evening. Lucas had a bit of an issue, so as his grandmother, I need to clarify things for him. Otherwise, misunderstandings might arise between him and Melody," Beatrice explained.
The servants exchanged glances with one another. Although they knew it was not their place to meddle in the household's affairs, they were well aware of Thalia's feelings for Lucas despite his indifferent demeanor.
They had even discussed it privately, speculating whether Melody leaving was due to a disagreement with Lucas. At that moment, it seemed their suspicions were confirmed.
"We can all see what Miss Thalia's intentions are, but we don't believe Mister Lucas shares the same sentiment," Lynette ventured, breaking the silence. Having spent many years in the Riveras' household, she had a good sense of the family's dynamics.
After her question, Beatrice smiled knowingly.
"It's true Lucas and Melody had a small disagreement between them. A few days ago when Miss Thalia went to Lucas' study, I had a suspicion lingering in my mind. Although Lucas is my grandson, I can't favor him and overlook Melody's feelings, can I?"

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...
