"I'm definitely nervous, but more than that, I'm excited and looking forward to interacting with other veteran actors tonight."
"What an impeccable answer from Melody Sanders, everyone. It seems she's come prepared tonight. But I noticed that most female actors attending tonight have male companions. Did you not consider bringing one yourself?"
Melody was puzzled. What did the Golden Feather Awards have anything to do with having a male companion? After all, they were all walking with their cast members.
"Um, I had one, but now I've been separated from him by you," Melody replied playfully.
The host had been staring behind her the whole time, and she thought maybe she had taken up too much time, but the host did not seem eager to take back the microphone.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for separating you from your fellow cast members. Let me make it up to you by giving you a male companion—"
The screams from the audience almost lifted the roof off. Melody was utterly bewildered. As she followed the host's gaze, she saw Lucas approaching with a smile, his steps firm and determined.
Melody was initially shocked, but her inability to contain her smile betrayed her. All the nervousness about how to respond without making mistakes vanished the moment she saw Lucas.
She could not help but walk toward him, but Lucas did not want that. His strides grew larger, and he reached Melody in just a few steps.
"How did you get in here?" Melody asked.
The two of them gazed at each other lovingly, so much so that even a blind person could see the affection between them.
"Surprising, right? How is it possible for me, a business person, to get into an entertainment industry event like this?" whispered Lucas into Melody's ear, teasing her.
With numerous fans present and countless cameras aimed at them, they could only exchange a few words quickly.
The host was ecstatic. This was the first time they had appeared together publicly, and his interview was bound to go viral online.
"The two of you are attending a public event together for the first time. Lucas, may I ask what prompted you to accept this invitation? In the past, there have been several invitations for various awards ceremonies, all of which you declined. According to rumors, you agreed to this one without much hesitation. There must be a special reason, right?"
The host looked at them with a smile, and Melody discreetly shifted her gaze to Lucas' face. She also wanted to know why he had come secretly. She had originally thought that such occasions would not invite guests from outside the entertainment industry.
Lucas smiled slightly, and his eyes met Melody's as he raised their intertwined hands. "I came for my wife, of course."
"Oh, I see!" The host elongated his tone, and the audience joined in with cheers.
It was the first time they had seen the two together, so it was no wonder many media outlets said that they were extremely well-matched in appearance. The handsome man and the beautiful woman standing together were a sight to behold, especially with the sweetness between them. Although they were not overly affectionate, every move they made seemed to emit pink bubbles of love.

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...
