Upon hearing Melody's response, the girl on the other end just chuckled lightly, brushing off the question.
"Who am I? You'll find out when you ask Lucas. Are you two having dinner outside? Did you manage to resolve the problem within your crew?"
Melody frowned. Not only did the girl refuse to reveal her identity, but she also seemed to be probing with her questions. Moreover, how did she know about the recent events within the crew?
'She must have a lot of contact with Lucas to be able to know about all that when she's abroad…' thought Melody.
"I'm sorry, miss. I don't know who you are, so I can't casually give you information about us. You'd have to tell me your name first if you genuinely want to know. I'll tell you everything you want to know if you are indeed a friend of Lucas."
The girl on the other end clearly did not expect Melody to respond this way. She paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, followed by a quick cough.
"Melody, you may not know me, but I know quite a bit about you. Lucas has told me a lot about you."
The girl had an enigmatic air about her, making Melody even more frustrated. "Since you know so much about me, there's no need for further questioning!"
The girl on the other end just chuckled lightly. "Hmm, fair enough! I have something else to attend to. Please tell Lucas I'll be waiting for his call. I trust you won't be so petty as to withhold even this information."
"Rest assured, I'll let him know."
The girl on the other side decisively hung up the phone.
Melody held onto Lucas' phone, feeling a bit complicated. She could not shake the feeling that the girl on the phone was not Lucas' sister. After all, there would be no need for such secrecy if she was his sister; she would have simply revealed her identity.
Moreover, everything the girl said only confirmed her close relationship with Lucas. It did not sound like a sibling bond, which made Melody, who had just been confessed to by Lucas, quite uneasy.
She also wondered what name she was saved under in his phone. Would it be an affectionate name like Thalia's?
…
When Lucas returned, he noticed Melody staring at him strangely. He raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "What's wrong? Is something on my face?"
Melody furrowed her brow slightly and shook her head. "Nothing's wrong."
"Then why were you looking at me like that?"
Melody pointed at his phone. "Someone called you a while ago. I was afraid it might be something important since it kept ringing non-stop, so I answered. It was a girl named Thalia. I'm sorry for answering your call without asking..."

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...
