It was worth noting that a family like the Sanders would not even be able to step into a party like Beatrice's eightieth birthday bash. However, the Riveras had never been stingy with their resources when it came to Melody.
Thalia became even more bitter when she saw how proud Melody looked. "Hmph! I thought her taste would at least improve now that she's entered the entertainment industry, but look at the shabby gift she gave! It's laughable! One would think she wants everyone to know just how poor of a family background she came from! How stingy could she get? I pity old Missus and Mister Rivera for having to cover for her embarrassment."
Thalia unabashedly vented to Quinn, finding fault with Melody in everything.
Quinn, however, could understand why Melody only gave Beatrice a handmade scarf at such an event. Nevertheless, the emerald embedded in it was not cheap. It was worth noting that emeralds of this caliber were extremely rare and could only be found at very exclusive auctions.
Besides, Beatrice had seen everything that was under the sun. If she really needed something, she could just go ahead and buy them. To families like the Riveras, the most precious thing was time and energy. After all, everyone had become restless in modern society, and not everyone had the patience to knit a scarf.
Nonetheless, to protect Thalia's ego, Quinn nodded in solidarity. After Thalia's attention shifted away from her, Quinn started to move around the banquet hall. She also needed to plan for herself as most of the attendees at the banquet were dignitaries bringing their own children.
Although she did not know anyone there, she was confident that as long as she showed a friendly attitude, most people would be willing to help her. Quinn did not ask for much; she just wanted to find a handsome guy to pass the time. While it was safer for her to stay in New Capital City, she did find the scene there a little too quiet compared to Molomia.

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...
