Xante met countless wives of rich men, and many of them were powerless to stop their husbands from having affairs with other women. Most of them looked the other way, but few were as unbothered about it as Sophia.
As Xante kept quiet, Sophia reminded kindly, "Be realistic. It's tiring to live in a fantasy world."
"Be realistic about what?" Xante did not understand what Sophia meant.
Sophia smiled and said, "I'm talking about Sunny. He's a young boy who's just come of age. I bet he made plenty of promises to you. Don't take them too seriously. Men are fickle; their feelings come and go. Once they lose interest, they'll act as if you don't even exist!"
Xante was startled for a moment. She did not need to be reminded of such things as she was aware of that. Sunny pestered her incessantly because she was his first love. It was a refreshing new feeling for him, so feelings of love and whatnot were rather out of the question.
She was not an 18-year-old girl, so she knew better than to take Sunny's feelings too seriously. Life could be very boring for her at times, so she was glad to have a little pet—so to speak—that she could occasionally spend time with to relieve her boredom and loneliness.
As time passed, she did not even need to chase Sunny away. He himself would get tired of her and leave.
"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Sophia. I'm already full, so carry on without me. Do convey my thanks to Mister Jeremy as well. I have some matters to handle at the company, so if you'll excuse me."
She put down her cutleries and got up.
Sophia blinked. "Going so soon? Won't you wait for Sunny?"
Xante walked out of the restaurant without responding.
Xante was busy typing a message on her cell phone. After sending the text, she turned and looked at Sunny with an unhappy expression. "I waited for you, didn't I?"
Sunny let out a child-like snort. "But I haven't eaten much at all! I'm still hungry!"
Xante placed her phone down and leaned over to kiss his cheek. "Would you like to eat something else?"
Sunny blushed at the kiss. "Like what?"
"Like me." Xante had a half-smile as she adjusted her gold-rimmed spectacles. "Would you like to eat me?"

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...
