Melody was being shaken by her collar, but she calmly replied, "Look at yourself. You're acting like a madwoman. Where did the well-bred Miss Wendy Sander go? No matter how much you push us, he'll only love me. That reality must be driving you even crazier."
Melody hit the nail on the head with what mattered most to Wendy. Wendy felt it was unfair. Why would Lucas be attracted to Melody, who had nothing? What did he see in her? She had thought that kicking her out of the family would ruin her life and finally give her relief from years of resentment. She never imagined that Melody would meet Lucas and that Lucas would actually fall in love with her!
"Don't tell me you think I'm jealous of you, do you? Why would I be jealous of you? Your own mom doesn't even love you! You're no different than an orphan since both your mom and dad don't love you! Do you really think Lucas loves you? He's only after your looks. Once he sees your battered face, he'll naturally run away from you. Do you think you're so special to him? There are plenty of beautiful actresses in the entertainment industry, so don't think too highly of yourself!"
Wendy burst into laughter. "You're nothing but a pathetic creature begging for love. Well you should know you'll never get it! I'm going to send these photos to Lucas now. Let's see if he's really like I said, or if he loves you like you think."
Melody's throat tightened, and she swallowed hard. 'Lucas should be able to track my location once Wendy sends him the message, right?'
…
The atmosphere on Lucas' end was as cold as ice. He would never have left Melody alone in the hospital if he knew Wendy had not given up on taking revenge against Melody.
'This is all my fault!' he thought with regret. 'Why do I always regret things when it's too late?'
"Can we track where they went?" Lucas asked as he looked at the screen showing the license plate number they had found.
"It's a fake number plate. They disappeared after leaving the city," Edmund replied while leading several other technicians to frantically search for information.

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...
