Lucas paused at the door of Melody's room before twisting the handle and pushing it open.
To his surprise, he found Thalia inside.
Thalia, upon seeing his stern expression, smirked. "What's the matter? It's only been a while since we last saw each other, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Lucas' face turned livid, and he glared fiercely at the guards by the door.
"Now, now. You shouldn't blame them. They won't dare to stop me from coming in as long as I insist I'm your friend. You're the careless one. You'd rather listen to your grandmother talking than come back to your beloved wife's side. Seems like you're not that concerned about her after all. Just like how you used to like my sister, but then eventually forgot about her!"
Lucas' pupils dilated slightly. He had not even started questioning her, yet Thalia had already admitted to everything.
"So you really did kill Claudia!"
Thalia chuckled. "Me? Kill my sister? You must be joking. I just gave her the medicine she usually takes. The pills were hers, and she took them herself. Isn't that right?"
Lucas, enraged to the point of laughter, retorted, "She was your sister! Aren't you afraid she'd come back and haunt you? How can you be so calm after doing so many wicked things? Don't you have any conscience at all?"
Lucas's words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back, leaving Thalia on the verge of collapse. She trembled as she sat back heavily in the chair.
"You don't remember... You rescued me from the deepest despair. You were like a beacon of light in my life, but now you're saying you don't remember? You don't even remember your handkerchief?"
Lucas maintained a cold expression, reminiscent of the one he had when he first approached her. After all these years, he still held himself aloof.
Thalia had used every trick in the book to get closer to him, only for him to claim he did not remember. Then what had she been doing for the past 20 years? In the end, all she had become was a joke.

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...
