Lucas glanced coldly at Thalia, causing her face to flush red as she shamefully lowered her head. Even then, Lucas did not speak up to defend Thalia.
"Excuse me. If there's nothing else, please move aside. I need to leave," Lucas said flatly.
"Do you not remember me at all? It was under that banyan tree where you saw me crying and handed me the handkerchief, telling me not to be sad. Do you not remember any of that?"
Tears welled up in Thalia's eyes, but Lucas remained silent. The outcome was clear.
Thalia could not bear the mockery from the onlookers anymore. She fled from the scene to escape the crowd.
She found a corner and squatted. From there, she could still see Lucas as he strode into the auditorium. At that moment, Claudia emerged from the auditorium.
Claudia came out happily. The teacher had just permitted her to bring Thalia in, but she did not expect to come out and not see Thalia. Instead, she bumped into Lucas.
"Lucas, have you seen a girl here who looks a bit like me?" Claudia asked.
Thalia keenly noticed the difference in Lucas' attitude when speaking to Claudia. What surprised her even more was Lucas' patience in responding, "No, I didn't. There were so many people coming and going here. Maybe try asking over there?"
Claudia's face immediately turned red. "You really didn't see her? Are you sure? Because she's one gorgeous girl!"
"Is that so? I did notice an unfamiliar girl who stood out a bit," Lucas replied. After all, Thalia had blocked his path earlier, so he had not paid attention to anyone else.
Claudia pursed her lips and stretched her neck to look around but still could not find Thalia. "Forget it, then. I'm sure she's big enough to know not to wander off."

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...
