Melody's eyes lit up, but Lucas quickly added, "You can only drink it at home. You're not allowed to drink it elsewhere."
"Why not? This wine is sweet and tastes even better than some beverages," Melody replied after taking a big gulp, then sipping it slowly as if reluctant to finish it too quickly.
"It just seems like it's not strong, but you'll definitely get drunk if you drink too much. Especially for when you're the type that can't really hold your alcohol," Lucas explained.
Melody drank it like it was a soft drink. In no time, she finished the glass. Not wanting to weave through the crowd for a refill, she looked longingly at the red wine in Lucas' hand, which seemed equally delicious.
"What does yours taste like? Is it sweet?" Melody asked.
"Not too sweet, but it has a fruity aroma. Do you want to try it?" Lucas replied, his eyes following Melody's gaze to the glass of wine in his hand.
Melody nodded. "Yes, please."
"Give me a kiss first, and I'll give you a sip of this wine," Lucas joked. To his surprise, Melody took two steps toward him and kissed him.
He hesitated for a moment. Seeing her eagerly staring at his glass of red wine without shifting her gaze, he chuckled softly.
"I didn't expect you to get drunk from just a glass of champagne," he teased.
"I'm not drunk!" Melody protested, her elegant brows furrowing. "I'm not drunk at all. This champagne is really good, and I want more."

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...
