"Also, I want to thank my beloved husband. Thank you for your support all this time. I love you. I'll continue to work hard in my acting career. Thank you, everyone!"
Lucas sat in the audience, smiling as he watched Melody. He had been by Melody's side all along and knew how hard she had worked to get here. This award was more like an acknowledgment for all of her efforts.
She could have had a smoother journey if it had not been for those setbacks, but no one could say for sure that they were meaningless. After all, perhaps it was due to all those setbacks that she was ever to reach all these new heights.
Most importantly, no matter how many horrible things she had experienced before, Melody had overcome them all. Lucas was forever proud of her.
After stepping off the stage, Melody immediately hugged Lucas. At that moment, she did not care about the numerous gazes from others. She just wanted to embrace the person she loved the most.
When Melody was on stage, she could still pretend to be calm and composed like the adult she was. As soon as she felt the warmth of Lucas' embrace, she could not hold back her tears any longer.
"Lucas, I really did it!"
Lucas subconsciously kissed her forehead. "I know, and I'm so proud of you. You deserve every bit of that award, my Best Actress."
It was only when they heard the host's teasing voice from the stage that Melody felt a bit embarrassed and reluctantly let go of Lucas. She quickly pulled him to sit.
"Ugh, I was so excited that I forgot that we're still on live," said Melody.
Lucas gently wiped away her tears. "We didn't do anything wrong. We're legally married, so us being affectionate is normal."
At that moment, the audience had yet to realize that this was just the beginning. From then on, Melody seemed to have hit the jackpot, winning heavyweight awards with every film she starred in.
Just three years later, she had already become a cornerstone among actresses.
After a busy period, Melody decided to take a long vacation. Beatrice and Cedric had been hinting not-so-subtly about wanting great-grandchildren, so they planned a honeymoon trip specifically for them.
Lucas agreed it was time to take Melody on a proper honeymoon since they had not had one after their marriage. It would also be an opportunity for Melody to meet his parents and sister and her husband abroad.
With work arrangements settled, they embarked on their honeymoon journey, and their happiness lasted for a very long time.

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...
