Alas, Thalia eagerly approached Beatrice, saying, "Grandma Beatrice, I was just thinking of talking to you a moment ago. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Beatrice's tone remained indifferent, devoid even of the smile she shared with her longtime friend.
"Grandma, besides wishing you a happy birthday today, I also wanted to apologize to you," Thalia said hesitantly, glancing at Amber.
Amber looked around in surprise before asking, "Are you looking at me?"
Thalia nodded shyly and said, "I'm sorry, Ma'am. I have some things to discuss with Grandma Beatrice, so can you please give us some room? I'm really sorry about this."
Beatrice waved her hand dismissively. "She's not a stranger. Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of her. Of course, if it's not important, you can leave it unsaid. I have other guests to attend to."
Beatrice's impatience made Thalia feel awkward.
"Oh, alright. I'm sorry for behaving immaturely before. Lucas and I have cleared things up, and I understand that it's not possible between us. So, please rest assured, I won't act childish like before. I won't entertain any inappropriate thoughts. The only reason I haven't gone back to Molomia is that I need to gather inspiration for my work and collect material for my future classes. After this semester ends, I'll fly back to Molomia. Grandma, you don't need to worry anymore."
Thalia's words seemed to suggest her plans, but to Beatrice, it sounded like she was being forced to leave. Even if so, what did it matter?
'Good thing this girl still has some self-awareness and knows she's not welcome here. A semester, eh? That's only less than two months. I guess I can tolerate her presence until then,' thought Beatrice.
Out loud, she said, "Well... It's great if you can think that way. I guess my words to you haven't been in vain. There really isn't any possibility between you and Lucas. If there were, you two would've ended up together long ago, wouldn't you agree?

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...
