"You're the least qualified person in this house to say that to me. If you can't stand me, then don't eat. I cooked everything here on this table, so who are you to tell me not to eat?"
"You're a joke. I'm the one who paid for everything you're eating, wearing, and using. Do you think you could enjoy this kind of wealthy lifestyle if it weren't for me?"
Helen's eyes turned red. "Do you really think being your wife is such a joy? Ethan, you're just too full of yourself."
Smack!
Ethan could not hold back his anger any longer and slapped Helen across the face, causing her to wince in pain. The force of the impact was so big that her face was turned to the side.
She touched her cheek incredulously. After all these years, he had never laid a hand on her. Did that mean he was fed up with her already?
"You hit me… You actually hit me. When you proposed to me, Ethan, you said you'd always be good to me. Turns out it was all lies... I can't believe I trusted you so much. In the end, it was all just wishful thinking on my part."
Ethan, feeling increasingly irritated, stood up abruptly. "Can't you stop dwelling on the past? If I had known back then that you'd be so full of nonsense with age, I wouldn't have married you."
Helen could not believe he would say such a thing. When they were younger, he used to say he enjoyed her talking to him all the time; it made his world feel more colorful. However, as he grew older, it had become a flaw.
"Fine, it's all my fault."
Helen sat quietly in her chair, silently shedding tears.

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...
