Even though Quinn claimed not to care about family ties, she ultimately could not bring herself to harm her relatives like Thalia did. Moreover, despite Thalia sometimes not treating her very well, deep down, she truly considered her a friend. After all, they had known each other for so many years.
When Quinn first found out about the incident, she could not sleep for three nights. Her dreams were filled with what Thalia revealed in her sleep.
'Maybe Thalia only said all those things because she was having a nightmare,' thought Quinn in a bid to soothe herself.
The question of why Thalia resorted to harming her sister remained an indelible shadow looming over Quinn's mind. Finally, she could confront Thalia face-to-face about it.
"You don't understand anything. You wouldn't know the pain I've endured all these years. I've told you that knowing too much won't do you any good. Stop asking me if you want to continue being my friend! Otherwise, as you should know by now, I've already taken a life, and I wouldn't mind adding one more to my tally."
Thalia's threat did not faze Quinn in the slightest. "Is that so? Do you believe that if I were to shout loudly enough, your beloved Lucas would come running out here and see your true colors?"
Thalia could not take that risk. Everyone knew Lucas was her weakness. She could not bear the thought of Lucas' reaction if he were to learn the truth.
That was why she had been laboring hard to keep this matter hidden from him for so many years. Thalia had regretted it countless times for not having stayed by Lucas' side. Everything would have been different if she had stayed.
Thalia knew well enough that Lucas had harbored some feelings for her sister back then. However, there were no 'ifs' in this world, and she did not have the luxury of regrets. To win the man she loved, she had to eliminate obstacles and create bonds that would make Lucas feel responsible for her.

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...
