"I'm pretty sure Grandma will be able to tell you're the one who prepared the gift. She'll only think I didn't put enough effort into it."
Melody did not mind giving Beatrice something she made herself, but such a gift might be considered too 'cheap' for her. After all, sincerity was considered the least valuable thing to people of high society.
Melody must give something valuable and substantial to Beatrice to highlight her respect for her.
Lucas leaned in and rubbed his cheek against Melody's, which was as tender as a baby's. He could not resist doing that, and when Melody got annoyed, she would lightly slap him on the face.
The force was almost negligible, and Lucas would just continue doing what he wanted, leaving Melody alone to deal with her annoyance.
"Grandma will truly be upset if you start thinking like those people. I'm sure she'll love whatever you give her. But go ahead if you want to make something for her to show your sincerity."
The Riveras had already reached a certain status in the country, and if Melody could not even do what she wanted, then all these years of effort would truly have been in vain.
Lucas had long told Melody not to worry so much because the others would praise her for her thoughtfulness no matter what she gave Beatrice. The number of people who wanted to get onto Melody's good side was enough to make a line from New Capital City to Molomia.
Melody was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Riveras, so who else could dare to give her a hard time? Even if some people would look down on Melody's gifts, it would only be done behind her back. Those who would make sarcastic remarks to her face would not dare to show up at the Riveras' gatherings.

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...
