Lilin scoffed nonchalantly. "The main thing is that I don't care about it either. I'm going to rely on myself only and live within my means when I'm grown."
Sophia glanced at Lilin sarcastically. "Oh wow, how admirable! In that case, you must work hard in your art studies so you can achieve your dream. Do remember to find me if you come across any difficulties like not being able to sell your paintings. I'll definitely help you out then."
Lilin glared at Sophia. She might be young, but she was not stupid. It was so obvious to her that Sophia was ridiculing her by implying that if she could not afford to make a living by painting in the future, she could go to her and beg for money.
'Hmph! I'd rather starve to death than ask her for money!' thought Lilin.
At that moment, the waiter came over and served some appetizing cold dishes.
Adam cleared his throat and said, "Let's all dig in!"
Lilin did not want to pick a fight with Sophia at the dinner table and put her mother in an awkward position, so she picked up her utensils and ate her food.
Suddenly, Bryan looked around with his ears perked up.
He had just heard Corinne's voice.
'Am I hearing things, or is Mommy here, too?' he wondered.
"Daddy, I need to pee," said Bryan to Jeremy.
Jeremy had not started eating yet, so when he heard what his son said, he turned the wheelchair around and prepared to go with him.
Seeing how inconvenienced he was, Lilin put down her fork and volunteered, "Zachary, let me take Benjamin to the restroom. It so happens that I want to go, too!"

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...
