Lucas helped Beatrice organize the birthday banquet with the hope of bringing joy to his grandparents. At their age, they often stayed at home and did not have many friends. As they themselves admitted, they were losing their friends left and right to old age.
Lucas did not want them to be confined to their home just because of their age. He also hoped to bring more liveliness to the old mansion by having a gathering. In fact, Lucas did not need to give any face to the guests of the banquet. However, for the sake of Cedric and Beatrice's happiness, he quietly followed behind them and acted as their dutiful grandson.
Sometimes, he knew what his grandparents liked to hear. Especially when others praised them for having such a successful grandson like Lucas, their faces would light up even more. Melody had been with Beatrice for a while, and he glanced in that direction with some concern.
At that moment, Thalia and Quinn approached gracefully. Cedric's expression faded a little when he saw Thalia. He had not expected her to still be in the country. Previously, he and Lucas had agreed to send her away.
However, after Lucas and Melody had moved out, Thalia no longer hovered around them, so it was easier for Beatrice to accept her staying in the country. Otherwise, given what Thalia had done and Beatrice's personality, Beatrice would not have tolerated her staying.
During the birthday banquet, Thalia behaved tactfully. She simply raised her glass toward Cedric.
"Grandpa Cedric, I was foolish before, so I made some mistakes. But now, I understand my place and know what I should and shouldn't do. By the way, do you know where Grandma Beatrice is? I'd like to properly apologize to her too," said Thalia.
Cedric smiled faintly. "It's enough to have the thought. She's feeling a bit tired, so she's resting upstairs. You young people don't need to worry about us. Go and have fun with others."

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...
