The peaceful family reunion dinner that Adam had hoped for had gone awry. As a man, he felt he should not take offense to her outburst and decided to placate the situation. "Ahem! Mel, I admit that I shouldn't treat Lilin like that. I—"
"Come with me, Lilin. We're done with them." Melinda took Lilin's hand and prepared to leave. She had no interest in listening to Adam's feeble attempt at salvaging the situation.
Lilin nodded and stood up with her mother.
When Melinda and Lilin were about to leave, Sophia could not hide her smile. That was the outcome she had long hoped to achieve! Though she was always aware of her father's consistent favoritism toward her, she still felt unhappy that a tiny little fraction of his love and attention had been diverted to someone else.
It would be best if Melinda went through with the divorce and disappeared with Lilin forever!
As Melinda was about to leave the table with Lilin, she caught a glimpse of Sophia's smirk from the corner of her eye. She halted and said, "What are you smiling at, Sophia? Do you think you've finally achieved your goal to remove Lilin and me from your lives?"
Sophia quickly concealed her smile and assumed an innocent expression. "I wasn't smiling. Why are you making these false accusations?"

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...
