Since they were the hosts, they could not afford to disappear for too long from the party, especially with Cedric still downstairs alone.
"Grandma, Grandma," Melody walked over to Beatrice and called out a few times.
Beatrice had not woken up yet, but they could not let her continue sleeping on the couch. Sleeping like that could easily lead to catching a cold.
"Hmm?" Beatrice finally opened her eyes, looking around a bit disoriented. "Oh my, I really am getting old. Did I really doze off just like that?"
Melody helped Beatrice sit up while Lucas poured her a glass of room-temperature water.
"You must've been exhausted, Grandma. From now on, let Lucas and I take care of these things," Melody said.
Beatrice was heartened to see how close Lucas and Melody had become with each other. After she tidied up a bit, Melody helped touch up her makeup before they returned to the party.
"Where did our birthday girl disappear to? We were looking all around for you," joked Amber Hoyles, one of Beatrice's longtime friends.
"Blame it on my age. Just a couple of drinks, and I dozed off on the couch. I'd probably still be sleeping right now if Melody hadn't woken me up. Melody, come here, this is Amber. Say hello," Beatrice said, introducing Melody to Amber, whom she met for the first time.
Melody greeted her politely, and Amber smiled so much that her eyes became a line. "No wonder you like this girl. She's so well-behaved, I like her too. Melody, if one day Lucas doesn't treat you right, come to me, and I'll introduce you to someone else," Amber said jokingly.

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...
