"I know what he did yesterday was wrong, but I still want to make it clear that he'd never harm me." Melody lowered her head with a clear look of distress on her face.
"Are you still uneasy about what happened yesterday? If you want, I can help you clarify things to him again," Nathan offered.
Melody shook her head. "It's okay. I've already explained it to his grandparents."
"His grandparents?" Beatrice and Cedric used to be a formidable couple in the business world when they were young. Nothing was capable of shaking them, and their names still echoed within the business world.
It should come as no surprise that Melody felt so disheartened. Even if the old couple were willing to believe her, it did not seem to be the case with Lucas. He got angry as soon as he saw Nathan with Melody, and it seemed that he did not trust her much—if at all.
Nathan glanced at the surroundings to ensure no one was eavesdropping and proceeded to ask her softly, "Tell me the truth, Melody. Is it genuinely your choice to marry Lucas?"
"Of course!" Melody responded promptly as if in a conditioned reflex. "What makes you think it isn't my choice? You've watched too many movies." Melody had an exaggerated expression and waved her hands, chuckling as if Nathan had made a humorous remark.
Nathan did not find it amusing, though. "But I couldn’t sense his respect toward you when he was with you," he stated calmly, causing Melody's chuckle to cease right away.
She forced a smile and said, "Don't you know how many people would jump at the chance to marry Lucas? I couldn't be happier to be his wife! You're thinking too much..."
"Why are you here again?" She was genuinely surprised at his presence, as she had garnered from their prior conversation that he was very busy with work. 'How did he manage to get some free time?'
Sherman promptly set down the bubble tea. "Are you asking this because you don't want me to come visit you at work?"
Melody blushed a little and shook her head anxiously. "No! That's not what I meant."

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...
