The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1710

"Yes, I received a downgrade in my lifestyle after I left you. But don't worry, Lilian and I will never starve to death. What are you doing here? If you have something to say, say it out now! And if you don't, leave so we can eat in peace!"

Adam was not used to Melinda speaking so harshly to him. He sighed, sat down, and softened his tone when he said, "Mel, that's enough now. You're not young anymore, so you shouldn't act so wilfully. Come back with me after you've finished eating all this trashy food."

Melinda bit into the chicken wing she was eating before putting it down and saying, "Brian Addison, do my words mean nothing to you? Or have you forgotten what I told you that day?"

"Of course your words are important to me. Mel, let's stop this nonsense, okay?" said Adam helplessly.

Melinda took a sip of Lilin's soda and said, "I told you I want a divorce, no? Since we're getting a divorce, we should start with living separately. Why should I go home with you?"

Adam frowned. "Why do you want a divorce? We're fine, aren't we? I admit I was rude to you and Lilin that day, but it was only because I was in a bad mood. Are you really going to divorce me over something so trivial?"

Melinda laughed mockingly. "You think that's trivial? Or do you think me being angry at you is trivial? Brian, I've been with you for so many years, and what did I get? Everyone thinks I'm so lucky to be with you because you are a good provider, but what have you given to me other than material stuff?"

Adam's expression darkened. He wanted to explain himself, but Melinda cut him off and continued to say, "You must think I'm a hypocrite. After all, I was the one who said we didn't want the inheritance, yet I got mad at you when you didn't give us anything. Heh! You can think whatever you want. I've made up my mind to divorce you and take back what rightfully belongs to Lilin. But we're not going to keep the money. I'll respect her wish to donate the money to charity. I'll just treat it as collecting good karma for her. I can take any suffering that comes my way, but I won't ever let my daughter suffer!"

Adam's face was filled with complicated mixed feelings. He took out a cigar box from his pocket, picked out a cigar, and put it in his mouth. He was about to light it up when Melinda snatched the cigar and threw it into the trash can.

"Go out if you want to smoke! You might think this house is cramped and shabby, but it's a house my friend loves very much. I don't want you getting all that smoke on her furniture, nor do I want my daughter to be exposed to second-hand smoke!"
