Lucas headed upstairs to the study. He was quite at ease knowing that his grandparents had Melody for company.
"Melody, you're back! If Lucas hadn't messaged me saying you were with him, your Grandpa and I would still be worrying about you!"
Ever since the incident near the bookstore, Beatrice and Cedric had been concerned about Melody's safety. They insisted on arranging a car for her whenever she went out and required Lucas to report in. Also, if he was free, they wanted him to fetch Melody.
Melody was touched by Beatrice's and Cedric's concerns more than once. In most families, it was rare for grandparents to show such concern for their granddaughter-in-law.
"Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry. I'm standing here safe and sound in front of you, aren't I?" Melody reassured them, smiling as Beatrice pulled her down to sit on the sofa.
"We're just being cautious. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. We can't let the same thing happen again," said Beatrice.
Cedric nodded solemnly. "Listen to your grandmother on this matter. You got lucky last time, but who can say what might happen next..."
"Pah! You old fool, why are you saying such ominous things?!" Beatrice whacked him several times.
Cedric felt a bit aggrieved. He pursed his lips and said, "I was just giving an example. I'm not really cursing Melody."
"I don't care if it was an example. You shouldn't say such things. We want both Melody and Lucas to be well. By the way, how is everything going with the film crew? Lucas told us yesterday afternoon not to worry, that he'd take care of everything. I can't help but wonder if he's just bragging," Beatrice asked with a smile.
"Don't worry. The matter has been resolved. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so relaxed sitting here," said Melody with a gentle smile.
Beatrice patted Melody's hand with a smile, "I'm so glad to hear that. If anything happens in the future, just give Lucas a call. Don't try to handle everything on your own! Lucas is your husband, so don't feel shy about relying on him!"
Melody felt a bit embarrassed. Beatrice had no idea that Melody and Lucas were in a contractual relationship, so it would not be right to trouble Lucas with everything.
Beatrice held Melody's hand affectionately. "Melody, it's just as I told you before—just focus on doing what you want to do. Leave the rest to Lucas. If you want to be an actress, go be an actress. Use your work to prove yourself. We Riveras have enough resources to get any movie role you want."

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...
