However, when Melody met Lucas' eyes, she could not help but compromise. It was rare for the two of them to be together, and so intimate. She liked it a lot.
In the past, she felt embarrassed to be too close to Lucas. She was afraid that being too close would reveal the heavy feelings in her heart. It would definitely be troublesome if her business partner suddenly turned into a romantic interest.
However, she could tell from the warmth in his eyes that he felt the same way about her, which made her feel so happy that she did not know what to do. While it was relatively cold outside, Melody felt warm in Lucas' arms. In fact, his body felt like a furnace. Consequently, Melody felt warm too.
…
Beatrice drove herself to the Rivera Group building early in the morning. She wanted to confirm with Leo the progress of the work they had asked them to do last time.
However, she had not expected that Lucas, who had always been diligent, would still be absent from work at 9 a.m. that day.
"Edmund, where's Lucas? Why isn't he in the office yet?" Beatrice was somewhat displeased.
Lucas had not returned home last night, which meant he stayed elsewhere. Thinking that her grandson was already an adult and not everything needed to be discussed with them, Beatrice did not pursue the matter further.
However, she did not expect that he would not even show up at the company. She instinctively assumed he was at the hospital with Thalia, and this annoyed her greatly.
Edmund pushed his glasses up and answered respectfully, "Ma'am, as far as I know, Mister Lucas visited Miss Thalia at the hospital yesterday afternoon and left. I'm not sure where he went in the evening. Would you like me to call him for you?"
Beatrice waved her hand. "Forget it. If he hears my call, he'll probably think I'm always meddling in his affairs. Let it be."
However, Edmund acted quickly. Before Beatrice even arrived at the company, he had already sent a message to Lucas.
…
Lucas chuckled at Edmund's message, and Melody immediately looked up at him from his embrace.

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...
