Beatrice became lost in thought. She would have kicked Thalia out of her house a long time ago if it were not for Lucas!
"I really didn't expect Miss Thalia to resort to such despicable means. Fortunately, it's just sleeping pills. But there's a chance she'll be even more ruthless in the future since she knew she could get away with this."
Lynette also looked worried. Although they were servants, they had all watched Lucas grow up, so naturally, they cared about him.
"Don't worry. All of you, just remember that from now on, Miss Thalia cannot come close to the family's food and drink. I'll find a reason to send her away as soon as possible."
After clarifying the matter, Beatrice waved her hand to dismiss them. Cedric then sat beside her and sighed. "Oh, how did things get so complicated?"
"Huh! Maybe Claudia had planned for Lucas to owe her family all along, so she rushed in to save him. I bet she didn't expect she would die in the end, which benefited Thalia instead."
It was understandable that Beatrice would think that way, especially since she later found out that Claudia had already been diagnosed with late-stage cancer at the time. She would not have lived much longer if she did not save Lucas.
"It's fine for you to say that to me, but don't ever say this in front of Lucas. You know he values loyalty deeply. It's not worth having a falling out with him over a stranger," said Cedric.
"Lucas may be aloof, but he's not foolish. How could he possibly turn against his own grandparents because of such a calculating woman?" Beatrice sighed again after saying this. "It's just a pity that Melody has been unfairly treated in this whole situation. If it weren't for me today, who knows how long she would have kept this to herself. We wouldn't even know what happened that night."

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...
