"Are you really Lucas? Is today April Fool's Day? Is that why you're here to tease me? Are there hidden cameras? Please don't lie to me, Lucas. Please, or I'll really believe you…"
Melody grabbed Lucas' hand. Her series of questions tugged at Lucas' heartstrings.
"Silly girl. Of course I'm serious."
After Lucas spoke, tears finally welled up in Melody's eyes.
For the past few days, she had cried and carried all her grievances alone. Beatrice and Cedric believed in her, and she had friends silently supporting her, but what she had not verbalized was what she truly needed—Lucas' care and trust.
She never imagined Lucas would say those words to her. Her grievances were finally being acknowledged. He said he believed her.
Lucas held Melody silently as she cried. At the same time, he recalled the events that transpired.
"There's something I haven't told you yet. Back in my student days, Thalia's sister and I were kidnapped by someone. While the kidnappers targeted me alone, Thalia's sister got involved because of me. Eventually, her sister lost her life because of it, and it was her sister who saved me.
"I've been carrying this guilt with me all along. When I saw Thalia lying there motionless, it reminded me of that day with her sister, and I deeply regretted that I failed to save her sister back then. My mind was in chaos, and that was why I spoke harshly to you. I'm sorry. No matter what, I shouldn't have blamed you because of my own guilt."
Melody looked up at Lucas. "You've hardly ever told me about your past..."
She did not dare to speculate on Lucas' intentions. Did this mean she was getting closer to him?

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...
