'Mom and Corinne wouldn't have left home and suffered such a hard life if it hadn't been for those crappy things Dad did back then!' thought Lucas to himself.
Lucas comforted his grandparents, but his tone was a tad sarcastic when he said, "Dad has been living well for the past few years, so it makes no sense he'll suddenly want to take his life. So don't worry. I promise I'll get him home safely."
After saying this, Lucas turned to thank the two police officers, then walked upstairs calmly.
Beatrice and Cedric looked at each other with shame in their eyes when they saw such indifference in Lucas' attitude.
The two of them drove away Lucas' mother years ago, and although Lucas never said anything about it, they knew he never forgave them for that.
Maxwell also suffered from severe mental illness after Emily left and needed to rely on drugs just to behave like a sane person.
Even though Maxwell was in his prime then, he could no longer manage the company due to mental illness, so he had to let Lucas take over the company at a young age.
All the troubles in the family started after Emily left with Corinne.
After Lucas went upstairs, he threw his coat on the sofa and took out his phone to call Sunny.
Sunny—who was in bed with Xante—immediately picked up the call when he saw the call was from Lucas. After clearing his throat, he said, "What's up, Lucas? It's already very late now, so I won't be going home to sleep."
"Get your *ss back here right now!" said Lucas sternly.
Sunny, naturally, did not want to. "What's wrong, Lucas? I'm an adult now, so it should be fine for me to stay out from time to time, right?"
"Our father is missing! Come back and help us find him now!"
Sunny bolted up from the bed. "What?!"
Lucas did not have the patience to explain so much to him on the phone, so he simply said, "If I don't see you at home within half an hour, you'll never have to come back!"

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...
