Chapter 221: Back to the US
Ann called several times, but to no avail. Since the divorce, her son has completely cut off contacts with the Humphery Family, and it is not too much to say that he is an enemy,
Penn worked in the R & D room day after day, not to mention Ann’s phone, as long as it was not business, he would not answer the phone. You put the phone on his work desk for him to answer, and he was not angry, but every time he would stop without saying a word, and then
continue to work.
Joa felt that he was like a working machine now, without a soul, or a walking dead at worst, even when he learned that older Mr. Humphery was seriously ill, he didn’t even have a spare expression.
Ann called and begged her several times, asking her to persuade him to go back to the US to see the older Mr. Humphery for the last time. But Joa couldn’t persuade him, who could persuade a soulless person?
Joa heard some words from Eric Crawford more or less, and knew that he got married and divorced in the years when he returned to the US, but Eric Crawford was reluctant to mention more, and there was a Kelly in the middle, and Joa was not easy to inquire too much.
“Aren’t you very busy with work recently, or are you going back to the US?” She could only persuade carefully.
They pretended not to hear her and ignored her at all.
“It seems that older Mr. Humphery is dying, and I’m looking forward to seeing you one last time.” Joa continued to speak carefully.
Speaking of which, Penn finally looked up at her, his eyes cold, his tone even colder
“Can you go back for me?”
What was this? Wouldn’t it hurt her family even more if she went back for him? From then on, she didn’t dare to say anything more.
Things are so deadlocked, Humphery Family a day to urge a phone call, until the scientific research base to an uninvited guest, Nate.
Joa recognized him, was Penn’s childhood friend, had called several times before, and was the only one who dared to swear at Penn on the phone. When she saw Nate, Joa was relieved and personally brought people to Penn’s work room on the third floor.
Nate was in the dust at this time, sitting on the plane for more than ten hours. He was not only tired but also very irritable, but when he saw Penn, all his tempers were silently restrained and he did not dare to provoke him.
After all, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for three years, but Nate hadn’t changed much. He was still handsome and did whatever he wanted. As for Penn, apart from losing some weight on his appearance, there hadn’t been much change at first glance, but a closer look showed that he didn’t care.
When I saw Nate in my almost closed studio, my expression didn’t change much. I just ordered
“The computer is testing, don’t move.”
The tone was as calm as if the two had just met yesterday.
Nate originally pulled a chair to sit next to him, but when he said this, the hand pulling the chair stopped abruptly.
“When will it end?” Nate asked. He didn’t come all the way here to see
these broken computers.
Penn remained silent, typing code on another computer.

Nate casually glanced at his studio, no wonder it felt weird. The curtains. were not turned on, and the lights were not turned on. There were only a few computer screens shining
Dealing with these cold things every day, it would be strange for people to be normal
“When will it be over?” He asked in a stronger tone.
“What’s the matter?” Penn finally typed the last line of code and looked up to ask him.

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...
