The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1944

"You're welcome. It's no biggie," the boy said as he turned around to leave.

Melody then called out to him. "What's your name? I'll pay you back another day."

"I'm Sherman. Don't worry about it. It's not that expensive anyway." Sherman smiled warmly at her and left.

Melody looked at the sanitary napkin in her hand and felt a fuzzy feeling in her heart. As he left, she silently repeated the name to herself, "Sherman."

The boy from her memory had grown into a handsome and elegant man. He walked toward Melody with a glass of juice and said, "Here's some juice."

The scene was almost a deja vu as he placed the drink in front of Melody and said, "I'm not sure which flavor you prefer, so I just took one at random."

"Thank you." Though her response was the same as when she was 18, things seemed to have changed drastically since then. At times, she wondered what things would have been if she was braver. Perhaps her story with Sherman would have a better ending. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

"You haven't told me about your relationship with the host of this banquet." Sherman sat down and asked her again.

Melody snapped back from her reminiscing, but she found it difficult to answer his question. She did not want Sherman to know that she was 'married', and she selfishly wanted him to have a good impression of her.

"You're still as quiet as always." Sherman gently patted her forehead, eliciting a blush from Melody. "You've been like that ever since high school."

That image elicited a wry smile from Melody as she said, "Your mother is urging you for your own good. I'm sure every parent wants their children to get married as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'm aware of that," Sherman sighed and looked deeply into her eyes. The two of them chatted happily away as they reminisced.

Unfortunately, Melody could not get a break. A handsome pair of eyes was eyeing them from afar. Lucas planned to wait for Melody so they could enter together, but he ran into a friend and went upstairs for a chat in the VIP room. By the time he went back downstairs to look for her, he saw her sitting on the sofa with another man, seemingly enjoying her time.

Melody's smile made Lucas narrow his eyes; she never smiled like that in front of him.

"Mister Lucas, about that land I just mentioned..." said a middle-aged man next to Lucas. The man handed over a wine glass carefully, fearing that he might misspeak and lose the Rivera Group's cooperation.
