It was thoroughly shocking that she could utter something so shameless after witnessing the contrast in performance between the two individuals just now.
Melody said nothing much after that. She told them that she had other matters to attend to and that her family would grow anxious if she stayed too long.
"Do you think we live in a cave? Your family disowned you long ago! What family are you talking about? Just admit that you're afraid. I'm not going to laugh at you for running away like a coward." Carmen had lost, but her arrogance remained, and she insulted Melody with every remark.
The instructor, unable to tolerate it any longer, was on the brink of reprimanding Carmen when a man's voice echoed suddenly from the doorway.
"That's some tall words for someone who lost the first round. Do you take everyone here for blind idiots who can't discern who won and who lost?"
Lucas had sensed something amiss since the moment Melody's dance instructor messaged him. When he came early to pick Melody up, he chanced upon her contesting with another student.
Though initially intrigued by their performances, he became infuriated once the challenge ended. Carmen's snide comments only fueled Lucas' irritation.
Melody's demeanor became gentler when she spotted him, and she immediately shed her defensive stance. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to worry?"
Everyone could sense the affection radiating between them.
When Carmen was confronted by the man whom she had a crush on, her words turned acrid and her cheeks reddened in anger too.
"I... You have no idea what kind of person she is, Mister Lucas! She's a bane! She'll bring you nothing but misery. You should cut her off for your sake and that of your family."

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...
