Lilin nodded in response.
As Melinda opened the door, she was taken aback to see Maxwell hesitating at the entrance.
"How did you…"
Melinda looked at Maxwell in shock before turning back to look at Emily.
Emily was still trying to steady her breath with her hand on her chest. She noticed that Melinda was not moving, yet she did not hear the door closing. When she looked toward the entrance, her eyes widened in shock as well.
The man she had not seen in almost two decades stood at her door. Both of them shared a moment of mutual astonishment.
A minute later, Emily shifted her gaze away and said coldly, "Mel, close the door!"
Melinda snapped out of her surprise. She gave Maxwell a complicated glance and was about to close the door when Maxwell blocked it with his arm and said gruffly, "Let me see her."
He knew he was not welcome there, but he insisted on seeing Emily.
Melinda felt conflicted. She glanced back at Emily, who still had her face turned away, expressing her refusal. Melinda then shook her head at Maxwell.
"She doesn't want to see you. Leave."
Maxwell continued to block the door, unwilling to withdraw his hand. "I just want to see her..."
Melinda found herself in a dilemma as closing the door at this point would only trap Maxwell's arm. As she pondered her next move, Maxwell pushed the door open and walked in.

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...
