Melody had decided to take a break after the filming ended before picking up other roles. She wanted to dedicate some quality time with Beatrice and Cedric, especially since they were getting older.
Beatrice was overjoyed to hear that. "Oh, my child, how can I ever find you annoying? You're the most well-behaved child I've ever met. I couldn't be any happier to have you as my granddaughter-in-law!"
Cedric was also in a good mood.
Melody felt her eyes well up when she saw all the food she liked laid out on the table.
"I heard from Lucas that you were coming back, so I had Lynette make all your favorite food. You must've been missing home-cooked meals during this time away. Take a look at the grilled spare ribs. Lynette and I picked out the freshest pork ribs in the market to make them. I guarantee you'll enjoy every bite..."
Beatrice continued introducing the dishes, and Melody could not help but wonder when the two elderly folks had started planning for this meal. She suddenly felt a pang of regret. If she had returned home without telling them beforehand, the elderly couple would not have had to go through all this trouble.
They had put in so much effort for them, yet they would be leaving again tomorrow morning. It seemed like too much trouble for just one meal!
Lucas seemed to sense what Melody was thinking and gently patted her back. "Telling them earlier was also to make them happy sooner. It's always better to know in advance and be happy about it than to come back suddenly, don't you think?"
Melody stopped overthinking and nodded when she heard that.
"You're right. I'll make sure to come back more often from now on." Melody took a deep breath, not wanting to spoil the mood of the two elderly people.
She eagerly sat down at the dining table, and Beatrice kept serving her food. Melody did not want to disappoint her, so she cleaned her plate with relish, enjoying every bite of the home-cooked food.

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...
