Sunny clenched his fists angrily.
Aaron patted his shoulder, guided him to the other end of the bar table, and gave him a bottle of mineral water.
"Chill, dude. You'll only embarrass Xante if you rush over there now to interrupt them. You'll gain nothing but her wrath, and not to mention the silent treatment, by doing that," said Aaron.
Even though Sunny knew Aaron was right, he struggled to quell his burning rage.
"Listen to me. You might be able to save a damsel in distress later. That'll show Xante what a hero you are," advised Aaron.
'Save a damsel in distress? What the hell is he talking about?' thought Sunny, not understanding what Aaron meant. However, he decided to wait and see. Thus, he threw his head back to drink his water—in a bid to cool himself down—while glaring at Xante.
…
The man sitting beside Xante was not that handsome. However, dressed in a suit and coupled with his gentlemanly demeanor and an air of success, he could make a few girls' hearts race.
"Xante, it's sure been a while since we last saw each other. I must say, you've changed quite a lot," said the man, swirling his wine glass and fixing his gaze on Xante.
Xante smiled lightly. "Oh? How have I changed?"
The man looked her up and down. "Hmm… You've been even more attractive and mature. Not to mention, you have a certain air of mystery around you now."
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses out of habit. "I can say the same about you. You've become more mature and, dare I say, more romantic as well."
Humiliation washed over the man's face at being turned down so ruthlessly. "Is it because of that boy?" he asked with a frown.
'Boy?' Xante turned around quizzically and was shocked to see Sunny standing there. 'When did he get here? And why is he glaring at us like that?'
"I see that your taste in men has changed too. But I don't understand why you'd fall for a kid like him," lectured the man.
Xante turned back to look at her ex-boyfriend with a cold smile. "You have no right to judge my taste nor do I have to explain myself to you. All you need to know now is that I'll never fall for a man like you anymore."
The man's face darkened. No woman had ever spoken like that to him ever since he got to where he was then, so he was understandably caught off-guard.

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...
