Sophia covered the cheek Adam slapped. "Of course not! You, all of people, should know how strong my dad is! My ears are still ringing."
Zachary narrowed his eyes. "Me of all people? Has he hit me before?"
Sophia froze for a moment and explained her slip of the tongue, "No! Never! Why would he? I'm just saying that you should know how strong a man's strength is! You're both men, after all."
Zachary knew certain titbits of information, even though he had yet to recover his memory. He responded to her as he always did and said indifferently, "You can put some ice on your cheek when we get back. I'm sure it'll help with the pain."
Sophia was disappointed. "Don't you understand? I don't want ice! I want you to show concern for me! Can't you at least show me that you care? Don't be so distant from me even when you're trying to comfort me."
Zachary cocked his eyebrows and grew a little impatient. "What kind of attitude do you expect me to show you? Everything that is happening right now is the result of your actions. Your father wouldn't have slapped you if you had just kept quiet."
"Is that how I am to you, too?" Sophia asked with a sour expression.
Zachary was no longer tactful with her. "Sometimes, it seems like you're creating problems out of thin air. Your father traveled a long way with his wife and daughter to see you, but all you did was put him in a difficult position and have him put up with your antics. I'd be upset too if I were in his shoes."
Sophia felt embarrassed. "Zachary, I..."
Zachary decided to change the subject and turned to his son. "Are you full, Benjamin?"
"Yes, Daddy." Benjamin nodded.

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...
