Melody looked at the dresses Paige had picked out with some concern. "Paige, won't me wearing these high-end designs as a newcomer be too ostentatious?"
Paige shot her a glare. "This occasion is all about female stars showcasing their style and competing for attention. Don't tell me you're planning to walk the red carpet in something plain and ordinary. Your fans might tear me apart if they see that! With such abundant resources, we must pick the perfect outfit for you."
Melody shrugged. "Paige, don't make my fans sound so unreasonable."
"Sure, sure, they're reasonable. And you're reasonable too, right? It's just me who's unreasonable. Now, let's just pick one. I'm sure your fans would want to see you looking gorgeous on that day."
As soon as Melody heard that, she compromised. These designer dresses were all beautiful. Lucas had explicitly told Melody she could buy whichever one she wanted; there was no need to borrow like other celebrities. Melody got the first dibs, and only after she made her selection would others get their turn.
Melody thought all of the dresses were beautiful; she could not pick a favorite. Paige suggested she try them all, and during the process, Melody did not forget to send the photos to Lucas. However, before she could make a decision, Lucas called her.
"Choose the white one," said Lucas in his low, husky voice.
Melody blushed. "Are the others not good?"
"You look beautiful in every one of them," replied Lucas truthfully.
Melody had a stunning figure, standing at 5 feet 5 inches tall, with perfect proportions. Any dress would compliment her well.
"Hmph. Fine, then. I'll get the white one," said Melody.
The thought of the two of them attending the prestigious Golden Feather Awards together held significant meaning for Melody. Paige could not help but feel gratified as well; she thought it was time to vehemently confront those detractors and show them how much Lucas cared for Melody.
On the day of the Golden Feather Awards, Melody still did not know that Lucas would be attending. After taking a photo of her all dressed up and made-up, she thoughtfully sent Lucas a link to the live broadcast.
"Feast your eyes on your beautiful wife."
"Wouldn't it be more impactful to see it live?" Lucas casually remarked.
"Yeah, I want you to do that too," grumbled Melody.

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...
