The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2373
"I just need some space right now, so can I have some time alone?"
Melody was exhausted by the day's ordeal, and wanted to be alone for a while, to gather her thoughts.
Seeing Melody's insistence, Sherman finally compromised. "Alright, but at least let me walk you up. I'll leave once you're inside. Is that okay?"
Melody nodded but did not need Sherman's support on the way. Sherman had to follow behind her as she leaned on her crutches, hopping up the steps one by one.
Sherman suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Melody should not be living alone in this small room. She needed someone to genuinely cherish and care for her.
'If Lucas can't do it, then I will!' he thought.
When Melody was about to close the door after Sherman escorted her back to her room, he suddenly reached out to stop her.
"Is there something else?"
Melody looked up into Sherman's eyes, then quickly lowered her gaze. She could sense the complexity of emotions in his eyes, but she should not dwell on it.
"You should go back, Sherman, if there's nothing else. There must be a lot for you to do at work…"
"I do have something. Something I need to tell you," interjected Sherman.
'Even now, her first thought is to comfort me…'
Melody worried that Sherman was constantly comparing himself to Lucas because of her.
"I never wanted to compete with Lucas for anything because he's just too outstanding. I know it's almost impossible to compete with him for anything. But with you, I want to give it a try.
"I know you're not an object or a plaything for anyone. You're a living, breathing person. I just want to know if you're happy by his side. If you are, I'll take back what I said today. But if you're unhappy, please give me a chance. I've always been waiting for you."
Melody looked into Sherman's eyes and saw the same emotions reflected there as she felt. It was the same way she looked at Lucas. She wondered if Lucas looked at her the same way.

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...
