"Thalia, dare you swear you have nothing to do with Melody's kidnapping?" asked Lucas.
Thalia scoffed and took a step back. "Lucas, you're crazy. I know you're upset about Melody getting hurt, but someone else is responsible for that! Why don't you go find that culprit? Why are you interrogating me? Do all those years of friendship mean nothing to you? How can you not trust me at all?
"Just think about it. If you were me, would you have willingly chosen today to visit Grandma Beatrice if I knew this were to happen? Don't you think this is me putting the evidence right into your hands?"
Thalia's mind raced as she struggled to come up with any reason to absolve herself of suspicion.
Lucas frowned slightly upon hearing what Thalia said, and his gaze became distant. "Is that so? You'd better not be lying to me! You should know I don't want you involved in this, which is why I came to confirm with you."
Thalia breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had started to believe her. "Okay… But do you know how much your questioning hurt me just now?"
"I guess I was just worried and confused. Melody still hasn't come out of the emergency room, and too much has happened during this time. I'm sorry."
Thalia sighed. "Forget it. What else can I do besides forgiving you? After all, we've been good friends for so many years, and I understand your feelings. By the way, how is Melody doing now? Is she okay? How did she get kidnapped again? The kidnappers didn't hurt her, did they?"
Lucas shook his head. "It was a good thing the kidnappers just wanted money. Melody suffered some minor injuries, but she still hasn't woken up yet. She probably had too much of a shock.
"Is that so?" Thalia asked. She had instructed Wendy to capture Melody and upload those photos and videos online so that Melody could never recover from the humiliation. She had not expected Wendy to get distracted by money and mess up such a simple task. The disappointment was evident on Thalia's face.

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...
