A frown unfolded across Lucas' face.
Melody observed Lucas' innocent expression. He seemed to be so confident and ready to share the details of his time with Stella that Melody could not help but burst into laughter.
"Are you crazy? I don't want to know those things you did! You have your life, and I have mine. I'm not just going to wait for you and listen to all those nasty things you did. I don't want my emotions to be constantly affected by your actions."
Though her voice trembled, Melody spoke with determination and intended to draw a clear line with her statement. Lucas, however, seemed confused and unable to comprehend the sudden change in her demeanor.
"What's with all this 'my life, your life' thing? Have you forgotten the contract you signed with me?" Lucas' voice carried a tinge of expectation. He had spent hours putting on an act with Stella and expected to return home to share the joy with Melody. Instead, he found her in a temper, and he was clueless about what had transpired.
"I haven't forgotten that we're in a contractual relationship. You don't need to keep reminding me," Melody replied, lowering her head as Lucas towered above her.
Lucas could not understand Melody's mood swings at times. She was fine before he left, so something must have ticked her off in his absence.
"Since you're aware of the contract, do you think you should've given me that attitude earlier?" Lucas' tone turned cold and condescending.
The vast gap between them seemed even more prominent, which maintained the status quo.
"It's not you. It's me."
"My what?" Lucas did catch on. He had not paid attention to his suit jacket and was under the impression that he left it at the company.
"It's still at the company, I guess. I don't know where it is. I'll have Edmund bring it back later," he explained nonchalantly.
Melody lowered her head silently. "But you were wearing your coat when you returned. Did you go to the company or not?"
Lucas frowned in response. "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that I went out and fooled 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...
