It was enough to see how despicable Melody's family was.
"Alright, it's all in the past now. It's all over," Lucas comforted her gently.
Melody, gripping the fabric of Lucas' shirt, was in great anguish. "It's never over! I've moved out, so why do they still want to hurt me like this? Why has my own mother never believed in me? Did she ever consider how I would feel when her stepdaughter smeared me online?"
Melody was also an actress. Previously, her online reputation was in shambles, and Wendy pushed her to the brink, leaving her with no chance of redemption.
Helen, as Melody's biological mother, never once considered what kind of situation her daughter was facing.
'Ha, she knew but simply didn't care. She doesn't even see me as her daughter!' thought Melody.
Lucas sighed inwardly. Not all parents were qualified to be parents. It was just too easy to become parents, which was why there were so many unfit parents and unhappy children.
"It's not your fault. It's their fault for mistreating you," Lucas reassured.
Melody, feeling more pain from her mother's actions than from being vilified online, spoke softly, "I thought I had grown used to my mother's favoritism over the years, but I realize it's not favoritism. She just doesn't care about me at all. Is it my fault? Maybe I shouldn't have been born. She didn't want me as her child, so that's why she hates me so much."
Melody looked at Lucas through tear-filled eyes, hoping to find an answer from 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...
