The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1643
"Have you met him yet?" Melinda asked.
"No, not yet."
The concerned Melinda frowned. "Well, why don't you meet him, then? He's found you anyway. I know you've always been thinking about him."
The woman's voice sank slightly. "I don't know how to face him, and I don't want to hear him talk about anything remotely related to that family. He's doing well, and I'm content with the occasional see updates about him in the financial news."
"If you truly felt that way," Melinda said, "you'd be sleeping soundly right now instead of calling me to talk about it. Deep down, you know that it's not just your son who's been searching for you. Your son's father must be the same, too. He still cares about you, and doesn't a part of you still think about him?"
The woman's tone turned bitter. "Does he? If he did, he wouldn't have gotten married at the drop of a hat. Don't sugarcoat this, Melinda."
Melinda responded, "But I heard that their marriage is on paper only. A few years ago, the woman was sent to their summer resort to live alone. She won't be allowed to return for the rest of her life."
The woman fell silent but eventually answered, "I've moved on from them."
Melinda understood that it would be a futile exercise to continue discussing it over the phone. "Okay. I won't talk about it anymore. I'll come over once Adam settles everything here. We can talk about it in person."
"Has Lilin completed her homework?" the woman shifted the topic.
"She only managed to complete one painting from the homework you've assigned to her. She's been a bit temperamental lately, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried."
The woman assured her, "Don't worry. Lilin is a good child. She'll never disappoint you as she grows up. It's your husband's eldest daughter that you should be more careful of."
Melinda was stunned for a moment and was taken aback when her best friend identified her main concern. She felt touched and comforted at the same time. "I know. I'll be careful."
"I told you that being a stepmother is no easy feat, but you insisted on marrying a man who constantly goes around killing people. And for what? Love? Sigh!"

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...
