"If I were you, I'd choose to stop here, turn myself in, and repent for my crimes!" Lucas said indifferently, but secretly, his palms were sweating.
He had to appear nonchalant to divert Thalia's attention away from Melody. He feared that she might act out and hurt Melody.
"Hahaha... Lucas, don't you think it's too late to say such things now? Repent? What's the use of repenting now?"
Lucas frowned and asked her if she was not afraid of Claudia coming back to haunt her in her dreams.
"What is there to be afraid of? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! I've steeled myself that things would change since the moment I chose to overdose Claudia's food with sleeping pills," replied Thalia.
'Claudia, oh Claudia. Don't hate me. You took so much from me, and I just gave you a little punishment. As for Lucas, I'll take good care of him on your behalf. You can just rest in peace,' thought Thalia.
Lucas showed a look of disgust. "Do you really think people liked your sister just because of her face? The qualities she possessed are something you'll never have in your lifetime. You'll never be like her!"
Lucas' words delivered the final blow, completely shattering Thalia's beliefs. She became overwhelmed with sorrow. "Why are you treating me like this? Why?"
Lucas, neither understanding nor caring about Thalia's pain, simply advised her to stop. "You've committed too many crimes. There will be consequences."
"Consequences?" Thalia sneered. "The only wrong thing I did in my life was falling in love with you. If it weren't for you, I'd be living a happy life now... Huh, you ruined my life, so I'm going to ruin yours too!"
"Our future is none of your concern."
A clear, melodious voice rang out, causing Thalia to look in disbelief at the woman lying on the bed. How could she be awake? She even grabbed Thalia's wrist, rendering her unable to move.
Thalia turned back to look at Lucas incredulously. When she snuck into the hospital, Melody was clearly still unconscious in her bed. Thalia had even said many harsh words to her and held a knife to her neck. She did not even flinch.
'How could she be awake now? Was Lucas pretending all along? Was this all just a trap to catch me?' thought Thalia.
Seeing Melody unharmed, Lucas finally sighed in relief. At least one worry was lifted from his shoulders.

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...
