Lucas frowned, and his eyes darkened with annoyance. "So you resorted to hysterics once you ran out of counter-arguments? Do you think this will make you look innocent?"
'Hysterics? Did he really use that word on me? No! I'm Anya Rivera, the second daughter of Maxwell Rivera. I'm not the one for hysterics! Plus, I was forced by Corinne to do this 'cause only by doing this can I get Grandpa, Grandma, and Lucas to stand on my side.'
It might have worked on Cedric and Beatrice, but what Anya did not expect was that Lucas had changed. He no longer loved or accepted her unconditionally anymore.
Tears poured out from Anya's eyes. "Lucas, I don't mean to behave this way, either… But Corinne left me with no choice. You were there when she insisted on calling me the mastermind behind her online scandal. I… I just feel so wronged…"
Lucas' expression hardened. "It's not like she's throwing baseless accusations at you."
Anya looked hurt. "Lucas, how can you not believe me? How can you believe her instead?"
"The traffic surveillance footage proved you went out this morning when you say you didn't. Based on this alone, it makes it very hard for me to believe everything you told us just now," replied Lucas.
Anya blinked a few times out of guilt. She then implored Lucas, her eyes akin to a sad puppy, "What's so wrong with me wanting to go out for a drive? And I've told you, I've never met Corinne's stepmother in my life. That photo she showed us must've been Photoshopped! I swear that wasn't me in the photo."
Lucas narrowed his eyes in annoyance. He was frustrated at how unrepentant Anya was. He was that close to giving her a beating or kicking her out of the house, but alas, he knew he should not do that.
At that moment, Vicky checked the time on her watch. "Mister Lucas, my stepmother and her daughter should be here by now. Can you please ask someone to bring them in?"

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...
