To her surprise, a knock echoed on the ward's door. Melody's eyes widened as she gazed at the man who entered her room.
"Sherman?" Melody asked.
Sherman had not expected Melody to be awake. He swiftly approached the hospital bed and placed a pillow behind her head for her added comfort. With a chuckle, he asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem overly thrilled to see me."
Melody smiled. "That's not it. You're welcome here, of course. I just didn't expect you to visit. It's a pleasant surprise."
The smile faded from Sherman's face in an instant. He reached out to tuck a strand of Melody's hair behind her ear, but he immediately withdrew it and sighed deeply. Melody blinked and was puzzled by his sudden change in demeanor.
"What's the matter? Are things not going well at the company?" Melody asked.
Sherman shook his head. "The company has received several large projects recently, and we've already achieved a lot of positive results for the second half of the year."
Melody became even more perplexed. If everything was going well for the company, then he should not have any reason to frown.
"You must be curious about why I'm frowning," Sherman said.

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...
