"Lilin, take a look around and choose a room for us to stay in. We can share a room. While this house belongs to my friend, we should keep things where they are even though my friend doesn't live here for the time being."
Lilin nodded obediently, then asked, "But Mommy, what about my books? They're still at the hotel!"
Melinda sighed again. "I'll get them for you in a couple of days."
"Okay!" Lilin ran to check out the rooms as she was told.
Melinda sat down on the couch and thought over her marriage with Adam. She suddenly recalled the woman who saved her life.
'That Corinne girl sure was a special one. Now I understand why Zachary didn't fall for Sophia, even when he lost all his memory. Sophia is simply no match for Corinne's selflessness. Come to think of it, Corinne kind of reminds me of someone…'
Coincidentally, Melinda's train of thought was interrupted by her phone ringing. She took out her phone and saw it was from her best friend, the one she just had in mind.
"Mel, where are you? Adam couldn't find you, so he called me!" said Emily anxiously after Melinda answered the phone.
Melinda knew the only reason Emily would call at this hour was because of Adam, but she did not want to talk about him.
"I'm alright, so don't worry. I'm staying at a friend's house in New Capital City now, but don't tell Adam."
Emily sighed in relief. "What is it this time? Are you two fighting again? Everything seemed fine when I talked to you over the phone a moment ago. What made you run away from home this time?"
"Let's not talk about it now, okay? It'll just make me mad all over again," said Melinda.
"Okay. I won't say another word about him. Mel, it's fine to take some time away from him to cool down and all, but just promise me you and Lilin will stay safe, okay?"
Melinda nodded. "Don't worry, Emily. Even if I don't take my own safety seriously, I'd never let anything happen to Lilin. We'll be fine."
"Good, give me a call if you need anything!"

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...
