Everything was not going smoothly for Quinn, especially when she was being forced to depend on others. Quinn wanted to leave, but a woman was waiting to capture her back in Molomia. Thus, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and stay in New Capital City.
Beatrice put her arm around Melody's back and led her to the spotlight.
"This is my granddaughter-in-law, Melody. She's a very kind girl, so we've been keeping her relationship with Lucas a secret to protect her. But I'm sure everyone has been keeping up with the gossip about our family recently!"
Beatrice's joke elicited laughter from the guests. Indeed, both Lucas and Melody had been hitting the headlines frequently lately. In fact, even before the news about Lucas and Melody broke out, Melody was already a frequent feature on the trending topics list. There was not one person in the room who did not know who Melody was.
"As for those online gossips, just take them with a grain of salt. The reason why I introduced Melody right now is because I want everyone to know that Melody is different from most girls. She's a bit timid, and her involvement in acting is solely driven by her passion for it. I hope everyone can give her a bit more grace if she ever unintentionally offended you. After all, she's still young."
Who would dare not to give face to Beatrice? Even if someone dared to do so, they would still need to contend with Lucas, who was standing behind Beatrice and watching everyone closely.
Anyone who wanted to work with the Riveras in the future was wise; they knew who they could or could not offend.
"The fact that Old Missus Rivera would introduce her granddaughter-in-law on her big birthday bash means that she must be very satisfied with her," someone familiar with the Riveras raised a toast and exclaimed loudly.

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...
