Melody had already settled on her life partner after filming her first movie. Such a decision would surely stir turmoil among other fan circles. However, as if by prior discussion, her fans seemed to offer their sincere blessings to her despite their initial silence. Their favorite actress had faced enough challenges in the industry, and they did not want to deny her the right to decide things for herself.
At the same time, she also felt bad for what Lucas had to go through. He had never allowed himself to be photographed, but it was no longer possible to avoid the paparazzi ever since he started being with her. In the past, he was always able to avoid showing his face in magazine interviews, but that changed, and his images have since made frequent appearances in tabloids. She once asked him if it might be better for them to travel separately, but Lucas refused outright.
"I could only hold your hand in public after waiting patiently for you to reveal our relationship to your fans. And you expect me to give that up now? I can't do that," Lucas said.
"Okay," Melody said as she nestled into his arms. She believed that time would resolve everything. He would prove to her fans that she made the right choice, and they would gradually understand his genuine nature.
The meet-and-greet was one such opportunity, and Lucas had some ideas in mind too. He felt that it would be better to sit with the fans, as that would allow more opportunities for him to interact with them and allow them to observe him up close.
Before the meet-and-greet ended, posts about Lucas went viral on the internet. He was now being referred to as the 'best husband' in history. Comments flooded in below the post.
[I met him at the meet-and-greet today. Who would've thought that the president of such a renowned company would be sitting right next to me!]
Many of the social media users were shocked because they were all under the assumption that most tickets for events were in scalpers' hands. That was part of their way to make money. Then again, when they considered that she was backed by Lucas, her lavish spending made more sense. After all, she had the Rivera Group's support, so she could care less about those things.
[Some of these comments are really bitter. This meet-and-greet was paid from Melody's salary in War Song. She'll never accept monetary support from her man when it comes to instances that are related to her career. She's an independent person capable of earning her own money! And besides, she made all the arrangements to prepare transport and security for her fans. She even hired a chef to prepare light snacks for them! Can't you see how much she genuinely cares for her fans? All you see is the man behind her! That's so unfair to her!]
A segment of Melody's fans had a pet peeve about hearing Lucas' name being mentioned whenever she was the topic. It was particularly infuriating when the accomplishment was Melody's, yet other people insinuated that she only had it easy because Lucas was around.

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...
