Wendy was getting impatient, but she managed to conceal it well. She leaned over and hugged Helen.
"Helen, please don't be angry. I was just frustrated and said those words in the heat of the moment. Don't take it to heart. How could I not feel your kindness toward me? I'm not heartless. It's just that Melody's actions have caused me so much trouble in the past.
"I've had over ten jobs canceled because of her. How could I not feel angry about that? Now that I've finally landed a few endorsements again, shouldn't you be happy for me instead?"
Helen sighed. "Of course I'm happy for you. It's just that Melody is also my daughter. Seeing everyone criticize her doesn't sit well with me."
However, Wendy did not care. She pressed on, "Helen, about the tasks I assigned you the other day, please remember to do them! Don't disappoint me, okay?"
Helen grasped Wendy's arm somewhat frantically. "Wendy, now that you're getting booked for jobs again, do you still want me to go find Melody?"
Wendy slowly pushed Helen's hand away and lowered her gaze. "Of course. How could I let this go? She caused me so much misery before. I'm not going to pass up a chance for revenge!"
…
Meanwhile, Lucas had his arm around Melody as they watched their movie. Both of them were enjoying the sweet moment together.
Thus, Melody did not expect to receive a call from Helen.
"Melody?"
"Oh, so you do know you're my mother? Miss Helen, don't you find it absurd to say all these things now?"
Seeing Melody's smile but sensing the sadness in her eyes, Lucas frowned.
Melody held his hand as if drawing strength from him.
Helen was her biological mother, supposed to be the closest person in her world. Melody had never imagined that one day she would need to rely on someone else to withstand the hurt from her own mother.
"Have you lost your mind? I'm your mother. How can you talk to me like this? You've always been so difficult."

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...
