Claudia was extremely anxious. She bumped into Henry, wanting to know if he was okay.
"Don't worry, I'm sitting here talking to you just fine. Nothing's wrong. They only hit me with a stick, but I didn't even shed a single drop of blood. It was my fault for missing the opportunity. Those kidnappers are really audacious. They actually set a trap for us along with the officers."
Lucas remained silent, contemplating how they could increase their chances of escape.
Sitting idly by was absolutely not an option.
He believed his grandparents would surely rescue him, and indeed, that proved to be true to some extent. Still, he did not think those kidnappers would just sit quietly and do nothing to them. Every second they waited here, their danger increased by another degree.
"Mister Henry, didn't they blindfold you?" asked Lucas.
Henry shook his head. "No, they only tied my hands and feet. Child, is there something you want me to check out?"
Henry shifted slightly in Lucas' direction. As the only adult present, he was also figuring out ways to help the two children escape.
No matter how fast the officers arrived, they could not match the speed of the kidnappers' actions. Ever since he was thrown in here, his heart had been hanging in suspense.
"Yes, Mister Henry, I want you to see if there are any other ways out of this room," replied Lucas.
Henry cautiously looked around. The house was in a state of disrepair, resembling the kind of self-built house found in rural areas.

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...
