No backing out at this point.
Xante sighed helplessly and said, "Please don't trouble yourself over it, Mister Maxwell. It's more important for you to prioritize recovery, and I shouldn't even be here to bother you in the first place."
Maxwell shook his head and smiled. "Nonsense. You have no idea how much better I feel to know Sunny has a girlfriend."
Xante bowed a little and said, "I'll be leaving now, but I'll come back another day to visit you."
After that, she turned and walked out of the room.
Seeing that, Sunny quickly said to Maxwell, "Dad, I'm going to see her off."
"Sure, go ahead," said Maxwell with a nod and a smile.
"Are you going to be okay?" asked Sunny worriedly.
Maxwell knew what Sunny was referring to, so he nodded and said, "Yeah. I promise I won't do anything stupid again."
Relieved, Sunny quickly ran out of the ward.
Sunny managed to catch up to Xante in the hospital corridor. He grabbed her arm and said, "Xante, why are you leaving so quickly? Why not stay for a little while longer since you're here?"
"How dare you still ask me to stay when I haven't even made you suffer for lying to me?!"
Sunny looked down, laughed awkwardly, and twiddled his fingers. "I thought I already explained why I lied to you, Xante. Don't you think you should forgive me since I did it out of love?"
"I do! I'm also working very hard now so that I can give you a good life. Other than that, I'm thinking about how to get you to agree to marry me."
Xante massaged her temple. "That's enough! Stop wasting your time here. You should go back to look after your father. It's important to be with him at all times since there's no telling if he'll try to take his life again."
Sunny pouted. "You're really not going to stay? I feel pretty bored here. And Dad kept on wanting me to tell him everything about Corinne. I told him so much that I feel like my mouth is about to fall off."
Xante looked at him sharply. "Your dad knows Corinne is his long-lost daughter?"
Sunny nodded. "Yeah! Corinne even came just now and fed him some soup. That's why he's much more stable now. It's all thanks to her!"
Xante frowned, remembering that she saw Sophia in the elevator minutes ago.

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...
