Zachary smiled faintly. "I might not remember her, but a person's instinct doesn't lie. She…captivated me."
Lilin did not quite understand it, but she said, "That's because you have good taste. Even though you don't remember her, you've never once fallen in love with that vile Sophia. I respect you for that!"
Zachary pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your kind words. It won't be long before Sophia returns with your parents, so I must trouble you not to reveal what happened here."
Lilin nodded. "Don't worry! I'm on your side!"
…
Adam and his wife, Melinda, made their way upstairs to find the VIP room that Lilin mentioned. As soon as they arrived, however, all they saw was the wait staff clearing away the used plates and cutlery from a meal that just concluded.
The wait staff explained that the guests in the VIP room had finished their meal and left. Adam and Melinda could not help but feel disappointed, thinking that Lilin's claims might have some grain of truth. Even if it might be a case of mistaken identity, they had hoped to at least catch a glimpse of the woman that Lilin had been talking about. Alas, they seemed to have missed the window of opportunity.
Sophia sighed in disappointment after coming up with them to check the situation. "Whoever is here has already left. Lilin must be playing some kind of prank on us by sending us up here to check!"
Melinda shook her head. "No. Lilin might have a temper, but she'll never tell lies on purpose."
Sophia frowned and said, "I don't think you should dote on Lilin so much, Aunt Melinda. If you protect her when she's lying, it'll snowball into even bigger lies when she grows up. She's going to get in trouble, and it'll be too late for you to discipline her by then!"
Melinda wanted to refute Sophia's targeted attacks on Lilin, but her words would never get through to Sophia because of her status as Sophia's stepmother. In the end, she decided not to waste her breath.

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...
