Adam wanted to smoke a cigar to compose himself. He felt a little embarrassed, and he became even more so when Melinda threw his cigar away.
"Mel, I understand everything you're saying. I admit I was unfair to Lilin, and I could've done better as a husband and a father. But you shouldn't rush into divorce like this. Think about how this will affect Lilin! Do you really want to let her grow up in a broken home? She's still so young…"
Lilin, who was sitting beside Melinda and eating a burger, suddenly chimed in, "Please don't use me as an excuse. I'm really fine with the divorce; a complete home is wherever Mom is."
"Why you…"
Melinda rolled her eyes at Adam. "Hear that? It doesn't matter to Lilin whether you're in her life at all."
Adam slapped his own thigh out of agitation. After a long while of silence, he looked up and said, "How can you think that I won't leave anything for you and Lilin? I didn't want to let you know because I didn't want to burden you with the knowledge. I was also worried Sophia would kick up a fuss again if word got out. Mel, I'm disappointed in you. You've been with me for so many years, so you should know better than that."
Melinda was a little taken aback, but then she frowned with consternation. "What are you talking about? Explain yourself this instant!"
Lilin looked at Adam with her big, bright eyes, too. She wanted to see what kind of lame excuse her father would come up again.
Melinda was a little shocked by Adam's explanation. She never thought her husband had made arrangements for her and Lilin in secret. She exchanged glances with Lilin, and both of them thought they had unjustly accused Adam.
"Brian… You should've told me sooner," said Melinda remorsefully.
"I didn't expect things would turn out like this… I mean, you even wanted to divorce me!" said Adam, his head hurting.

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...
