"Lucas, don't forget who you're married to. Have you ever considered Melody's feelings when you cared so much about another woman? Don't say I didn't warn you. You won't be able to win her back if this continues."
"Grandma, let's not discuss this over the phone. I've thought about what you're saying." Lucas' tone sounded somewhat irritated.
He had decided to arrange for Thalia to stay in another place since both Cedric and Beatrice did not want her staying in the mansion. Considering how Thalia's family fell apart after Claudia saved him, he could not just leave her alone.
"Do you think you can hide things from me just because you're all grown up? Have your grandpa and I spoiled you for nothing? Fine, just bring Melody home tomorrow, and we'll talk everything out face to face."
Lucas nodded. "After I settle things here with Thalia tomorrow morning, I'll bring Melody back home."
Even if Lucas did not believe Melody was responsible for pushing Thalia, there was no way she was not involved in one way or another.
Lucas sighed as he looked at Thalia lying pitifully on the hospital bed. "I hope everything goes well from now on."
In the dead of night, Melody was jolted awake by a nightmare. Lucas' cold gaze, indifferent and piercing, struck her once again, pulling her out of her sleep.
"Ugh..."
Melody sat up, drenched in sweat, her chest heaving. In the nightmare, Lucas continued to speak to her in that icy tone, "I knew you didn't like Thalia, but I never thought you could be so cruel. I misjudged you."
Whenever Melody tried to defend herself, her mouth was sealed shut, and she could only watch as Lucas repeated those words to her over and over again while she struggled helplessly.

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...
