The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1936

Over the years, Melody endured every emotional and physical abuse at her home. She had always done her best to show understanding and tolerance, but her family's insatiable greed only grew.

Thus, Melody could not bear another day of such a life.

She glanced at Wendy but ignored her, focusing instead on their biased, emotionally distant parents. "Alright, just tell me how much do you want. I'll pay you back every penny with interest for your so-called nurturance!"

Helen and Ethan looked at each other before Helen held up three fingers. "If you can come up with three million dollars, I'll consider things even between us. And you have my word we won't bother you with family matters anymore."

'Three million dollars? What a greedy bunch of b*stards!' thought Melody.

Melody had lived a modest life since childhood. She could not possibly have spent three million dollars of her parents' money.

Nonetheless, giving them the three million dollars seemed to be her only way out. However, she could not possibly come up with three million dollars on her own. She had no choice but to borrow the money from a certain someone.

"Fine, just give me a moment."

After leaving the living room, Melody returned to the small room she used to live in and called Lucas.

The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just when she was about to lose hope, the call went through.

Lucas' indifferent voice came through the phone. "What's up?"

Melody did not plan to tell Lucas about the mess she had stumbled into. After all, they were not a real couple, and dealing with the Sanders was her own problem. She did not want to burden him with too much.

However, given the circumstances, she would not be getting the three million dollars if she did not tell him the truth.

"Well, it's for my parents..." said Melody with a sigh. She then explained the whole situation to him, including why she had gone to see William last night.

"I just want to pay my parents the three million dollars they wanted so they won't bother me anymore! Lucas, I know it's a big sum, but please believe me when I say I'll pay you back."

Truth be told, Lucas was not indifferent to Melody's plight.
