Just like that, Beatrice and Cedric went out, leaving Maxwell and Sunny alone in the room.
Sunny pulled up a chair and sat beside his father's bed. "How are you feeling, Dad? Are you thirsty?" he asked, concerned. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"
Maxwell shook his head. "I'm okay." He then looked at the door thoughtfully and asked, "Sunny, where's your brother? Isn't he back yet?"
"He's back in his room. He was the one who told me about the secret room. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find you! Do you know that Grandma and Grandpa even called the police to look for you? Don’t ever go missing or drink alone again. You can just ask Lucas or me to drink with you!"
Maxwell looked at his younger son with relief, thinking he had certainly grown up. At the same time, he laughed self-deprecatingly at himself.
"Okay, I promise you I won't drink alone anymore. But you should know that Lucas will never drink with me."
Sunny gave it some thought and realized Maxwell was right.
"Even if he doesn't drink, you still have me! Dad, I'm not a child now. I can drink with you."
Maxwell merely smiled and said nothing on the matter.
'Lucas must really hate me if he'd rather send Sunny over to find me than to do it himself,' thought Maxwell.
"Dad, why do you have a secret room behind the bookshelf? I see there's a bed in it and some of your clothes. Have you lived there before?"
Maxwell snapped out of his thoughts and said, "It's nothing. It was already there when I moved in here. Sunny, I'm okay, and it's getting late. You should head back to bed, too."
Sunny shook his head. "I promised Grandpa and Grandma to take good care of you. It's fine. I'm not sleepy."
Maxwell frowned and said, "I'm really okay. I don't need you to take care of me. You go ahead and tell your brother that I'm fine."

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...
