"Thank you, Thalia. I know I have many shortcomings as your older sister, and you've been feeling down since Dad's death. But believe me when I say our lives will only get better from now," said Claudia.
Thalia kept her head down and remained silent for a while before lifting it with a smile. "Come on, let's eat before the food gets cold."
There were four dishes in total, two made by Claudia and two by Thalia. Thalia's dishes tasted a bit strange, but Claudia moved them both to the front of herself.
Thalia took a bite and happily said that it was delicious.
"Have more, then. Who knows if you'll get to eat it again in the future," Thalia said meaningfully.
"Why? We're going to be in each other's lives forever. Aren't you going to cook for me anymore?" Claudia asked.
"Who can guarantee forever?" Thalia explained. "We might not live in the same place when we go to college."
"I'll choose the same city as you, so we won't be apart!"
Unfortunately, Claudia had no idea what Thalia was thinking. She believed that this meal was a turning point in their sisterly relationship, a sign of Thalia's forgiveness. She did not expect that this meal would end her life.
After finishing a plate of food, Claudia suddenly asked Thalia to pour her a glass of water. Thalia was stunned.
"Are you asking me for help?" asked Thalia.
In their family, it was always Claudia who prepared everything for her. Never had once Claudia asked Thalia to do something for her.
Back in her room, she called Lucas. When she heard Lucas' voice on the other end of the phone, her breathing even stopped for a second.
It had been so many days since she last saw him, and she missed him dearly. She wondered if Lucas was thinking of her at that moment too. She loved him so much that she was willing to sacrifice even her sister.
Afterward, she quickly made her request to Lucas. Out of guilt, he did not suspect anything. Instead, he was very concerned and arranged everything for her.
She knew that the words his father left before he died were indeed useful.
…
Thalia still did not understand what Melody was trying to say.

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...
