Thalia felt that Claudia's kidnapping was warranted. Claudia was only kidnapped because she stuck to Lucas like a leech. She had no value whatsoever otherwise.
Beatrice and Cedric arrived swiftly. Though their hair was already grey, their presence exuded authority. Even Thalia instinctively avoided their gaze.
Henry eagerly rose upon seeing them and trailed behind them as they were given a brief rundown of the situation by the teacher. Beatrice soon spotted him and said, "And this must be the other student's father."
The teacher swiftly introduced him to Beatrice and Cedric, with Cedric patting his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. We'll do our best to rescue the two children."
They knew that the kidnappers targeted Lucas, and it was Claudia who ended up innocently dragged into the ordeal.
Henry's eyes welled up as he nodded fervently. "Please save my daughter. She's still a young girl."
Within moments, Cedric and Beatrice made the necessary arrangements. As expected, the kidnappers soon made contact.
Their demands were reasonable, but there was no reason to comply with the ransom demands when there was no apparent sign of the children's well-being.
Beatrice's voice dripped with authority. "Hand over the phone to my grandson. I'll only consider your ransom after you let me confirm that both of them are safe."

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...
