Adam pretended not to have heard what Melinda said. He bent down to hug Lilin.
"Come, Lilin. Let me teach you how to fish."
Lilin hugged her teddy bear tighter to her chest. She puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away. "Hmph! I don't want to play with Daddy!"
Seeing this, Adam got down to her eye level and playfully muttered, "Why don't you want to play with me, Lilin? Did I do anything to make you angry?"
"Hmph! You're going to hurt innocent people again. I don't like it when Daddy hurts innocent people!"
Lilin was also the apple of Adam's eye as she was born late in his years. He spoiled both of his daughters very much and tried his best to make sure he did not show any favoritism toward one or the other.
However, Sophia refused to accept Melinda as her stepmother and Lilin as her half-sister. She would often tell other people that she was an only child. Adam did not correct her because he felt like he owed her.
Fortunately for him, Melinda decided to let Sophia's attitude slide. What she really cared about was how Adam treated her and Lilin.
Adam picked up Lilin and said to her in a sing-song voice, "You've misunderstood Daddy again, Lilin. I'm not hurting innocent people. I'm getting rid of a bad person who's hurting your sister."
Lilin never liked Sophia, so she did not particularly care that she was being bullied by someone. Thus, she simply pouted and rested her face against Adam's chest.

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...
