The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1651

Melinda sneered, "Did my daughter start it first? Or did you? Your daughter started it, and you sympathized with her like you always do whenever she sheds her crocodile tears! But when Lilin cries, you immediately scold her loudly in public because you thought she was a nuisance and an embarrassment. Sophia was the one who always made a scene, don't you think? Do you want me to list everything she's done? They're both your daughters, yet you treat them very differently."

Adam could not understand what she was going on about. "What makes you think I treat them differently? Are you saying I don't love Lilin? You heard how loud she was when she cried just now, didn't you? The entire restaurant can hear her!"

Melinda glared at him. "And do you know why she's crying like that? It's because she feels mistreated! Lilin might be young, but you can't assume she's naive for her age. Children are much more perceptive than adults, and Lilin can tell that you have a favorite! I can understand if you're a little more biased toward Sophia because of your regret, and I don't mind at all that you decided to give her all your inheritance. I married you for you, not for your wealth! My daughter doesn't care about your wealth either."

Then, Melinda tried to drive the point home. "All we want is for you to treat us better. When you prepared to pass on all your wealth to Sophia, you sought my opinion just for the sake of it and never even bothered to ask Lilin what she thought. She's not an idiot, you know. It's obvious to her that Sophia is more important to you than she is. Money is the least of our concerns. We simply hope you can show a little more affection toward us. You, on the other hand, can't even see that you're practicing blatant favoritism! If I don't get angry at you, you'll probably continue thinking that Lilin is just a child whose feelings you'll never have to consider."

Adam was speechless after hearing Melinda's rant. After a long silence, he responded, "I did ask for your opinion, and you said it didn't matter to you. That was why I decided to leave all my wealth to Sophia. That's not something to worry about, though. I'll ensure that there's enough money to last us a lifetime, and that includes Lilin's education. We'll live the simple life you've always wanted. You want that, don't you?"

Melinda smirked. "And you say you're not biased."

Adam did not want to argue with his wife in public, so he waved her off and said, "That's enough for now. Let's discuss it at home, not in public."
