Cedric brushed off Beatrice's concern.
"Here you go again—worrying about nothing, and always meddling in this and that. There's no need to fret about it. Let them be; young people have their own ways of communicating and making choices. We're getting old. There's only so much we can do, so why not leave them to it?"
On this matter, Cedric seemed to have a more enlightened attitude than Beatrice.
However, Beatrice was not willing to lose Melody. She finally found a granddaughter-in-law she was satisfied with!
…
[I didn't expect you to trust me so much. Thank you, Sherman.] Melody earnestly typed and sent.
[It's not just me. You have a lot of fans on various platforms supporting you. They're diligently finding evidence, trying to prove your innocence. Melody, with so many people still supporting you, you must stay strong and keep on filming!]
Melody smiled as she accepted the words of encouragement. She was about to thank him again when she suddenly remembered the girl she had talked to on Lucas' phone.
'Perhaps Sherman would know who she was? After all, he and Lucas are cousins. Cousins usually shared more information. Plus, he's the only person I can ask. There's no saying when I'll find out who that girl is if I miss out on this opportunity,' thought Melody.
[Sherman, do you know someone named Thalia?] Melody inquired.
There was a minute of silence from Sherman's end before he replied, [How do you know the name? Who told you? Did Lucas bring it up to you?]
Melody did not want to reveal too much. [Well... Lucas did mention her, and I got a bit curious about who she is. So, I thought I'd ask you. You probably know more than I do since you're his cousin. I'm just interested in learning more about Lucas' past.]
Melody was filled with fixed emotions when she read that message. 'No wonder this girl is so important and special to Lucas. They had known each other since childhood.'
Sherman, seemingly unaware of Melody's emotions, continued earnestly describing Thalia. [Thalia has always been a special friend to Lucas. He might introduce you to her in the future.]
Special...
Melody did not need Sherman to say it; she could sense it.
[Alright, I got it! Thanks for answering so many of my questions. I gotta go now since I have an early morning shoot tomorrow. Talk again soon!] Melody replied.

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...
