"Anyone would have suspected you're somehow involved in the incident from the way you were speaking! There's no one here apart from me, so Thalia, answer me, do you or do you not have anything to do with Grandma Beatrice's fall? How did she suddenly fall down the stairs? Did you push her?"
Thalia's expression changed drastically. She glared at Quinn and exclaimed, "Quinn, have you lost your mind? Even if I did something wrong to my sister back then, that's in the past! Do you really think every accident in this world has something to do with me? Why would I push Grandma Beatrice? She's Lucas' grandmother, and I wanted nothing more than to please her. Haven't you seen me being all submissive towards her?"
As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened and welled up with tears, making her look extremely pitiful.
"I know I've done things in the past that hurt my loved ones. You don't understand me, and I'm not willing to talk about it with anyone else. But can you please stop thinking of me as a murderer? I also want to live the rest of my life well. Do I not deserve a second chance after making a mistake? Besides, she's Lucas' grandmother, so how could I do that? I'm not stupid. What could I gain by pushing her down the stairs?
"She'll just accuse me of being the culprit if she's not hurt. Moreover, you know very well she's always been so disdainful towards me and looking down on me. Why do you still doubt me like this? At the end of the day, you must not see me as your true friend to distrust me like this."
Quinn was very conflicted. "It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that you have a history. Moreover, Beatrice looks down on you so much, could you have acted out of anger and pushed her? You have to understand, she's the grandmother of the man you love the most, and she might be more important to him than anyone else. If you harmed her, it would truly sever the bond between you and him. If it was really you, we'd go back and apologize to them now. Maybe there's still a chance to salvage things, if..."
Thalia pushed her away angrily. "Enough! You're already questioning me as if I'm a suspect. Now I understand, no matter how much I explain, it's useless if you don't believe me. Fine, if you doubt me, then go find evidence. I'll admit to pushing Grandma Beatrice down if you can find evidence. But until then, please stop tarnishing my name. I'm a living, breathing person too! It's not just you who feels aggrieved, I do too."

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...
