"How can a man ignore his wife's feelings? It's precisely because you're his wife that he must respect you more and be more empathetic to you. Even if he's never had such an experience before and never learned how to love you, he should change for you."
Melody raised her head and looked at Beatrice. Frankly, she envied how Beatrice and Cedric kept their marriage and relationship stable throughout their years together.
"However, love is not something to be forced. If he doesn't love me..." Melody bit her lower lip. She was afraid of hearing the answer she did not want to hear from Beatrice.
"Silly girl! The way I see it, he does love you! The relationship between a man and a woman is more than just love. It'd be too simple if love alone was enough to keep a man."
Beatrice took a sip of barley tea, looked at the water in the cup, and talked about the past events between herself and Cedric.
"Do you think your grandfather and I seem very harmonious, and that it is something you yearn for?"
Melody nodded. "I feel that although Grandpa Cedric doesn't show it, he cares about your every move and is always looking at you."
Beatrice smiled lightly. "If I said that your grandfather almost did something to hurt me when he was young, would you still think we have a good relationship?"
Melody frowned unconsciously. She never thought about the possibility that Cedric had cheated on Beatrice when he was young. It felt like it completely overturned her impression of him.
"Has he…cheated on you?" asked Melody with a frown.
Beatrice laughed softly. "Silly girl, you are still too young. In fact, sometimes cheating between husband and wife isn't the most serious problem. What's most concerning is that he no longer has you in his heart and doesn't care about you at all.
"He didn't cheat on me for another woman. He just… Maybe he was a little distracted, but I found out about it early on."

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...
