Lucas got even more annoyed when Melody did not refute his words at all. She really thought he went out fooling around.
"Huh! Is that what you think of me? Melody, you really have a vivid imagination."
He went to all the trouble to gather evidence for her, but in the end, she still thought he was fooling around. Anyone would be upset at being falsely accused like that.
"I have nothing to say if you insist on thinking like that!"
Melody did not understand why Lucas could pretend to be so innocent.
'He clearly went on a date with Stella. Heck, he even went to her house, yet here he is, talking to me as if nothing had happened. Why can't I be as indifferent as him?' thought Melody.
Lucas, seeing that she did not seem interested in having a proper conversation, became even more infuriated.
He yanked off his tie and threw it on the ground, then turned and headed to the study.
"I'm sleeping in the study tonight!"
He was so angry that he did not even want to see Melody. Confronting her would only fuel his rage, and he did not want to say something irreversible.
He was not afraid of arguing with Melody. After all, he had not done anything wrong, and Melody should not just slap a big accusation on him like that.
However, he was afraid of Melody's attitude. She refused to listen to reason, nor did she want to say anything to him. She seemed to have no desire whatsoever to know the truth.
It was as if Lucas was just a stranger to her, and everything he said had nothing to do with her.
After he left, Melody hugged her legs sadly and curled up in a way that gave her a sense of security.
Anger welled inside her again the more she thought about the whole thing.
"Oh dear. Melody, did you not sleep well last night? Both you and Lucas have dark circles that are bigger than a panda's! What happened?"
Melody shook her head, not wanting to burden the two elderly people with all their problems.
"It's nothing. I didn't sleep well because I had a nightmare. No big deal."
Beatrice, full of concern, brought Melody a bowl of oatmeal.
"Come, have something good to replenish yourself. You're still young, so you'll be all good in no time. It's different when you reach my age. No matter how much I eat, I still feel so weak, so you must cherish your good health now."
The housekeeper excelled at making comfort food, and the oatmeal suited Melody's taste. She ate a full bowl and a half before putting the spoon down.
"Is there anything going on at the film set today? If not, can you accompany me to the garden to see the newly planted roses?" asked Beatrice.

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...
