"Oh? Just what are you going to do exactly?" asked Corinne curiously.
"Why don't you take a guess?" retorted Sophia provocatively.
Corinne sipped her milk absent-mindedly. "Well, I don't want to. Just do whatever you want. You don't have to call me to tell me."
Not getting the reaction she wanted from Corinne, Sophia felt like she was punching the air.
"Corinne Carew! Don't you know my father is the infamous Ad—"
Corinne hung up before Sophia could even finish her sentence.
Sophia's face darkened when she heard the disconnected dial tone. She then angrily threw her phone down onto the floor. No one ever treated her so rudely before.
Her attendant picked up her phone, wiped it clean, and passed it back to her.
"Miss Sophia, please don't get so angry. Your father is going to punish us again for not taking good care of you when he sees you this unhappy."
Sophia gritted her teeth and took her phone back. She then tapped into the chat box she shared with Jeremy to check whether he replied to her. She had sent a long message to Jeremy, professing all of the feelings she held for him over the years. There was no response at all.
'That ruthless b*stard! How can he not reply to me after I spill my heart out to him?' thought Sophia angrily.
…
Sophia threw herself into her father's arms and started crying. "Dad… Jeremy doesn't want me anymore! He wants to cut ties with me because of some country bumpkin girl…"
Adam had never seen his daughter cry like this before, so he was understandably sad and angry. "Silly girl! Didn't I tell you that you must make the man yours as soon as you like him? If you had done that, the other girl wouldn't have a chance to steal him from you!"
He had always known Sophia had a crush on Jeremy. However, he did not agree with her having a secret crush. Instead, he thought she should have confessed her feelings from the start. After all, the daughter of Adam wasted no time in getting what she liked.
Sophia looked up at him and whined, "Dad, how can you say that when I'm this sad? Are you just going to stand by and do nothing while another girl bullies me?"
"Am I not right to lecture you? You're the daughter of Adam, yet you're so different from me when it comes to matters of the heart. Why, when I was young, I wouldn't waste time in letting my love interests know my feelings for them," retorted Adam.
He had the mentality that one should go forth boldly in pursuing one's love interest while one was still young. Thus, it was Sophia's fault for keeping her feelings a secret and holding hope that Jeremy would eventually fall for her.

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...
