Sunny helped Maxwell to his feet. Matching his pace, they slowly walked toward the exit.
As they passed by Xante, Sunny leaned over and whispered, "I'll take my dad to the driver outside now. I'll come back to find you in a bit, so wait for me."
Xante nodded and adjusted her golden-rimmed glasses before turning back to continue her conversation with Aaron and Annie.
After Sunny and Maxwell left the ward, Aaron chuckled and teased, "Xante, I can see Mister Sunny is quite serious about you. Ever thought of getting married just like Annie and me?"
Aaron had his arm around Annie as he spoke. They looked really happy and intimate.
Xante rolled her eyes at him. "Is this the right time for such comments? The boss' family just went through a major crisis, and she's just woken up. How can you crack jokes at a time like this? Have you forgotten that we owe what we have now to her?"
"Hey, you got the wrong idea about me again! I just felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy and wanted to lighten it up!" explained Aaron in a more serious tone.
Xante scoffed and ignored him. She turned to Annie and said, "I pity you for marrying such an idiot."
Annie shrugged. "Well, I had no choice. I had to take him in so he wouldn't roam freely and harm other innocent girls!"
Xante gave Annie's shoulder a comforting pat. "They should give you the Nobel Peace Prize."
Hearing this, Aaron pulled Annie into a corner. "What are you saying? You 'had to' take me in, you say? Do enlighten me just how reluctant you were."

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...
