The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Thalia put away her phone, feeling much better after reading others' criticisms of Melody. Recalling how angry Lucas was with her earlier, she started to plan how to change his opinion of her. Returning to her room, Thalia looked at the water bottle on the table for a long time. Then, she approached and poured a full cup of hot water. After some thought, she added half a cup of cold water. All she needed to do was to make her skin red.

To win over Lucas, Thalia had to be ruthless with herself. She rolled up her pants and poured the water onto her ankle.

"Ah!" she cried out, then bit her lip tightly. Even though she had mixed in cold water, it still hurt terribly when the water splashed onto her skin.

Thalia, feeling envious, was determined to keep Lucas firmly in her grasp. Emigrating to Molomia with her family had been a big mistake, but since she was back, she had no intention of leaving.
