At that moment, a young man carrying a wine glass approached Quinn and asked her if she was alright.
With one hand still on her chest, Quinn quickly changed her expression and answered, "I'm fine. Did I startle you?"
"Not really, but you do seem uncomfortable," he replied.
The two engaged in conversation seamlessly, while Beatrice remained hidden in the blind spot, waiting for Thalia to leave before discreetly making her exit.
"Oh, Claudia, if you want to blame anyone, you should blame them, not me! But I should thank you. The Riveras wouldn't be taking care of me now if it weren't for your sacrifice. Hahahaha!" Thalia chuckled softly, sending shivers down Beatrice's spine.
Initially, Beatrice thought Thalia was merely mischievous. However, after hearing the conversation between Thalia and Quinn, she realized that she must send Thalia away as soon as possible. Otherwise, some sort of disaster would befall Lucas if Thalia kept staying by his side!
Beatrice resolved to thoroughly investigate what happened all those years ago.
Just as Thalia was about to go downstairs, Beatrice let her guard down and accidentally bumped into the door, making a 'click' sound.
Thalia immediately turned around alertly. "Who's there?"
Previously, Quinn had pulled her into this corner, and she thought it was completely hidden, so she had not thought much about it. She never imagined that there would still be someone there.
In that instant, Thalia became murderous. Her plans would be completely ruined if someone had heard their conversation. She absolutely could not let anyone ruin her plan!
"Come out if you don't want any trouble! Don't think I don't know you're sneaking around there," Thalia demanded.

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...
