The sound of a phone ringing brought Maxwell back to the present. He looked at Sunny, who goofily blushed and smiled at his phone.
"Who's texting you?" he asked.
Sunny snapped out of his thoughts and stood up. "Ahem! I'm going out for a while to call a friend, Dad. I'll come back later to tell you more about Corinne."
After that, he did not even wait for Maxwell's response before striding out of the room with his phone in his hand.
Maxwell had his fair share of such experience, and he knew it was a woman.
'Even Sunny has a girlfriend, yet Lucas is still living his life like a monk. That boy is already thirty years old, and I've never ever seen him with a woman before… Maybe it's because of what happened to me and his mom that he doesn't believe in love,' thought Maxwell with a sigh.
…
Sunny left the ward, asked the bodyguard at the door to keep a close eye on Maxwell, and walked to a quiet place to make a phone call.
It was Xante who texted, asking how his father was doing. Sunny was, of course, elated to receive her text as it meant she missed and cared about him.
Xante picked up his call very quickly. "Hello?"
"Xante! I miss you so much!" chirped Sunny.
Xante wanted to ask if his father was alright, but she immediately fell silent when she heard that. Based on his demeanor, Maxwell was probably doing well.
Not getting a response from her, Sunny said again, "Say something, Xante!"
Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "What do you want me to say?"
Sunny chuckled and said, "Say you miss me, too."

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...
