"Since that's how you feel, there's nothing more to be said. But you better remember the lesson from last time and stop flirting with taken men. The people here aren't people you can afford to cross," said Thalia.
After greeting important guests, Lucas approached Cedric and whispered, "Grandma and Melody have been upstairs for a while. I'll go up and check on them. Grandpa, remember not to drink anymore. I'll have someone bring you some water instead."
Upon hearing the first half of what Lucas said, Cedric nodded. However, his expression darkened when Lucas moved to confiscate his drink. It was the rare chance he could drink, especially since Beatrice was not around, yet even this little privilege was being taken away by his grandson.
Ignoring Cedric's resentful glare, Lucas insisted that he should be more careful at his age. Lucas ascended the stairs in a few strides and gently pushed open the door to find Melody delicately massaging Beatrice's head.
"Shh..."
Melody immediately gestured for him to lower his voice when she saw Lucas entering the room. It seemed that Beatrice was indeed feeling the weight of her age. Just engaging in a conversation downstairs had left her exhausted.
The thought saddened Lucas, which was evident from his frown. His grandparents were growing older with each passing day, and time's passage was something he could not stop. He sat quietly beside Melody, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at the strands of white hair riddling Beatrice's head.
Once they confirmed that Beatrice had fallen asleep, Melody quietly covered her with a thin blanket and then led Lucas to the balcony.
"Time spares no one. Their health is deteriorating..."
Melody had never seen such a melancholic emotion in Lucas' eyes before. He looked disheartened, furrowing his brow to conceal his emotions. However, Melody could still sense the sadness surrounding him, and she embraced his head gently.

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...
