Indeed, whenever Thalia wanted to do something, Henry and Claudia never supported her. In their eyes, she was just a stubborn person. The more Henry and Claudia tried to stop her, the farther Thalia ran away.
She no longer wanted to stay in this family. She truly wished she had followed her mother and left this world with her so she would not have to endure these kinds of humiliation. Thalia had thought many times that her life would always be like this—living in comparison with Claudia, always inferior, gradually aging.
However, everything changed after she met Lucas. Perhaps that chance encounter had left no trace in Lucas' memory, but in her world, it caused earth-shattering changes. She never thought she would fall for a boy she barely knew.
After choosing to stay at the dormitory, Thalia's grades did not improve. Instead, she spent her days with troublemakers at school, which led her to neglect her studies. Ironically, she felt much better than before. After all, no matter how much she studied before, it was never good enough in her father's eyes.
However, she did not expect her father to find out about it. When she returned home, Henry had a cold expression, and even Thalia looked serious. As soon as she put down her backpack, her father rushed over and slapped her.
"I paid for your education so you can learn something, yet you spend your days hanging out with those troublemakers? Do you even know what you're doing? Do you realize you're regressing? Do you know what your teacher just told me? How could you smoke on the rooftop with those hooligans? I thought you chose to stay at the dorm to save time, but instead, you're hanging out with those worthless individuals. I've really misjudged you!"

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...
