Melody no longer sought fairness from the Sanders, but she still harbored some resentment for the past. Wendy was so good at pretending to be innocent and pitiful in front of her parents, even though she was the bully.
In the meeting room, Melody managed to expose her facade of innocence, reclaiming a bit of justice for her past self, even though it was already too late.
"Silly girl. Why would I ever think of you like that?" Lucas rested his chin on top of Melody's head, and he sighed with compassion. "I just hope you won't keep these things from me. Tell me if there's anything you want to do. I know you can handle everything on your own, but you're not alone anymore. Sometimes, it's fine to rely on me a little, okay? I want to be needed by you."
Lucas' words deeply touched Melody. She had always felt like the one who was not needed, and she had never been chosen so resolutely before. Tears started welling up in her eyes.
Lucas cupped Melody's face when he heard her sniffle. "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did I say something to upset you?"
Melody shook her head and leaned affectionately into Lucas' palm. "I'm not sad. I'm happy that you're here, and grateful that I met you."
Lucas smiled in return. "Yeah, meeting you is the luckiest thing for me too."
They shared a smile. Although their relationship originated from a contract, who could say it was not the best arrangement from above?
Melody and Lucas chatted for a while longer while hugging each other, until a crew member knocked on their door, prompting them to sit up straight.
"Miss Melody, Mister Shaun said there's one last scene left. Please get ready, and you can go home once the scene's done."

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...
