Dougie's eyes darted around, and indeed, Melody's offer was very tempting to him. He would undoubtedly nod without hesitation if he could gain endless wealth and glory by letting her go.
However, as Wendy pointed out, how would Melody fulfill her promises to Dougie if Lucas did not love her anymore?
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the message Lucas just sent to me," Wendy said with a smirk. "I had to wait quite a while for him to reply to me. Hahaha! See for yourself."
There was only one message in Wendy's inbox. It seemed as if Lucas truly did not love Melody anymore. Without her pretty face, she was of no more value to him.
"Oh dear. I've always said these kinds of men are unreliable. You even went public for him without hesitation to your fans. It's really not worth it. Men from such backgrounds are all notorious for playing around!
"Oh, you really made a mistake this time. Why not just find an ordinary man? Why would you ever think a rich, powerful, and handsome man like Lucas Rivera would fancy a two-bit actress like you?"
Dougie seemed genuinely indignant on behalf of his favorite actress, while Melody felt a chill run down her spine.
"I refuse to believe it. He couldn't have said that. He must still love me! Trust me, I can make all your wishes come true as long as you don't harm me!"
Melody kept shifting her body, trying to distance herself from Dougie.
Wendy neither stopped Dougie nor said he could touch Melody. All she did was arrogantly enjoy Melody's distress.
Meanwhile, a group of people had entered the town. Upon seeing strangers, the town dog barked a couple of times, only to be scolded by its owner before quieting down again.

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...
