Sherman became visibly anxious. "I hope you'll consider my advice, even if it means having to treat me as a stranger. Are you sure it's a good idea to continue with something so risky?
"I'm sure your fans are aware of the pressure you face. Why don't you ask them whether they're willing to see you get yourself in harm's way again? Those who truly care about you wouldn't want you to go through that."
Melody frowned, wondering if she was being pressured to give up. "I understand your concern, but this is my first career. I… I don't want to abandon this halfway."
Melody's averting gaze led Sherman's frown to grow deeper. "Must you be so stubborn? Why are you clinging so hard to this? Shouldn't you prioritize your life over everything else?"
"Did you come here just to persuade me to consider giving up acting?" Melody asked. "I appreciate the concern, but this is my life, and I will do what I think is best for myself. I'm entitled to make my own choices, and I'll make sure I'm always safe.
"Thank you for visiting today. I'm a bit tired now, so if that's all, you should go back home and get some rest."
Melody turned away and closed her eyes.
Sherman sighed and smiled bitterly. "I knew that bringing this up would make you resent me, but I felt I had to say it nonetheless. Now that you've made yourself clear, I think that's a cue for me not to disturb you any further. I'll come visit you again when you feel better."
Melody felt a pang of guilt at Sherman's lament. Perhaps she had been too assertive, but he believed that voicing out his concerns out of consideration for her was the right thing to do.

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...
