"Oh... I got a dog recently, and it was making a lot of noise when you arrived, so I didn't bring you in to see it. The vet said it's still very wild and can't be around people. Once it's trained properly, I'll introduce it to you. If there's nothing else, let's go… I'll go with you to the hospital and help out."
After a moment of silence, a look of resignation finally appeared on Lucas' face. "Thalia, how long are you going to keep pretending? I've given you many chances, but you've never spoken a word of truth!"
Thalia's eyes betrayed her panic as she took two steps back, her smile stiffening. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Lucas, you must be extremely exhausted to be speaking nonsense. I haven't done anything to upset you, nor did I lie. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more I can say."
"This again. Don't you have anything else besides these worn-out lines?" Lucas' expression turned cold. He walked past Thalia and headed straight for the door.
She grabbed his arm in terror. "Don't go there! I told you there's a dog inside. Why won't you listen to me?"
"Is it really a dog, or is it someone you've locked up to stop them from telling the truth? We both know what's going on. Are you going to open this door yourself, or do I have to do it for you?"
Lucas grabbed Thalia's hand and pulled her to the door, placing her hand on the lock. He showed no intention of leaving.
Inside the room, Quinn heard the commotion at the door. She leaped and cautiously crept toward the door to eavesdrop on who was outside. She would not risk it if it was just Thalia, but if someone else came, she needed to find a way to seek help.
Thalia was on the verge of a breakdown, and Quinn did not want to risk her life in this situation. Plenty of men outside were waiting to meet her.

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...
