It was unclear when he had arrived or how long he had waited, but the moment their eyes met, they both smiled. Melody ran toward Lucas, who opened his arms and gave her a warm, strong hug.
"How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Melody snuggled against Lucas.
Lucas' voice was clear and cheerful. "For you, I'm willing to wait as long as possible."
She lifted her head from his embrace. They locked eyes, both unable to contain their smiles.
"Let's go. Grandma is still waiting for you to pick her up from the hospital. I told her you were busy today, but she insisted on waiting for you to come and get her! She thinks I'm lying if she doesn't get to see you with her own eyes," said Lucas.
"Huh? Didn't I visit her the night before last?"
To prevent Beatrice from worrying too much, Melody immediately went to see her after she had recovered, but then there were rehearsals and other commitments. Thus, she could not keep Beatrice company every day.
"After the fan meet-up ends, I'll take some time off to stay home and keep Grandma and Grandpa company," Melody said, sticking to her original plan. After all, Beatrice and Cedric were getting older, and Beatrice had even fallen down the stairs. She needed some time to recuperate.
"Yeah. A certain someone has been so busy that she slept in the studio for two nights and didn't come home. You can't blame Grandma for worrying about you. She even thought I was teaming up with you to deceive her," Lucas said, his words laden with resentment.
Melody gently stroked his cheek as if soothing a tiger.
"After the fan meet-up ends, I'll take a break and accompany you to work every day. That way you'll see me from morning till night. I'm not going to leave even if you get tired of me, okay?"
Lucas scoffed coldly. "You're the only one who gets tired of me. I don't get tired of you. Might I gently remind you that you still have a husband waiting for you at home, Miss Workaholic?"
[Um, anything I should take note of for meeting Melody for the first time? I've never been to a fan meet-up before. I've only casually followed other celebrities. This is my first time being this big of a fan!]
Many fans chimed in, admitting it was their first time too.
[Haha, I never thought I'd go crazy for a young celebrity at my old age. But what can I do? Melody is just too outstanding. I immediately fell for her the moment I watched her movie. That face, that acting talent... It's been so many years since the entertainment industry has such a beautiful and talented actress. She's definitely going to be a national sensation!]
[National? She's going to be a global sensation!]
[There's not much to note, but everyone should remember their safety above all else.]

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...
