"In a society governed by the rule of law, I indeed can't do much to you. However, I've already asked someone to record down your words, so you can look forward to spending the rest of your life in prison."
"What… What right do you have to lock me up in prison? Melody didn't suffer any major harm. Why should I spend my whole life behind bars?!"
Wendy, who previously boasted about being ready to meet her end with Melody, felt weak in the knees at the realization that she was going to prison. She still had many good years ahead of her; she did not want to end up in that hellhole!
"You've admitted to planning the kidnapping on your own. Since that's the case, there's nothing left to argue about. My lawyer will handle everything when the time comes."
Lucas did not spare Wendy a single glance as she continued to scream behind him, trying to grab his legs while pleading, "Wait, I don't want to go to prison! I'm only twenty-five years old. I don't want to go back in!"
'Hah, she said she was only twenty-five, but what about Melody? Melody was even younger than her. When she was inflicting harm on her, did she ever think that Melody was also just in her early twenties?' thought Lucas.
His heart was as hard as stone. He could not tolerate anyone who had hurt Melody. She was his weakness, and he would do anything to protect her so that her gentleness could continue to envelop him.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! I admit that I wasn't the mastermind behind all of this. It was Thalia who instructed me. Without her, I'd never have taken such risks! Lucas, it wasn't just me!"
In truth, Lucas had been prepared for this, but hearing Thalia's name still made him sigh. He looked at Melody lying so weak on the bed and thought, 'Even if it was Thalia, I'd make her pay the price.'
"Edmund, have Leo handle Wendy. He knows what to do next."
"Yes, Mister Lucas."

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...
