"But Dad, I—"
"That's enough, Sophia." Adam interrupted. He did not want to dwell on the past with Sophia. "I just hope that you won't argue with Lilin anymore. You're my only children, and I genuinely hope to see you both get along with each other."
Sophia reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay. I understand, Dad. I promise not to get angry at Lilin and avoid arguing with her in the future."
Adam patted Sophia's shoulder. "That's my girl."
Sophia discreetly suppressed her frustrations. She decided to deal with Melinda and Lilin after successfully inheriting Adam's estate.
It took them about an hour to arrive at the hotel. When Adam checked into his suite, he told his subordinates to take care of their luggage while he brought Melinda and Lilin to meet Zachary. It had been a while since he met his son-in-law.
Zachary remained calm when he saw Adam and nodded slightly to greet him. "Welcome, sir."
Adam clasped his hands behind his back and said unhappily, "How polite of you. Though I'm curious to know why you couldn’t make the effort to come with Sophia to fetch your father-in-law at the airport."
"Sorry about that," Zachary replied. "It's difficult for me to go far because of my legs. I hope you'll forgive me for that."
Adam glared at Zachary, who sat in his wheelchair. The more he looked at Zachary's legs, the more annoyed he became.
Sophia did not want her father to blame Zachary for that, so she tugged his arm gently before walking toward Zachary.
When she got closer, she noticed that Zachary's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
"Why are you sweating so much, Zachary?" Sophia asked worriedly. She touched his forehead and exclaimed, "Your temperature is very high! Are you feeling sick? Do you have a fever?"

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...
