The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1951

Melody felt a little awkward as she recalled Lucas' curt words to Sherman. The inferiority that she felt around Sherman during high school only intensified.

"Why are you alone? Where's Lucas?" Sherman was a little surprised to see Melody by herself, but his graceful smile quickly returned.

Melody reciprocated with a smile and said, ''Lucas is chatting with a friend, so I decided to go for a walk on my own.”

"A friend... Are you referring to Stella?" Sherman asked pensively.

Melody's expression soured at the mention of Stella's name. It seemed all too clear that Stella was indeed Lucas' childhood sweetheart. Otherwise, those around him-say, his cousin Sherman-would not have made the association that it was Stella right off the bat.

"You met her already, I take it?" Sherman went forward. "She's a celebrity with plenty of fans."
