"Don't worry, Dad. I'll stop hanging out with the troublemakers at school. I'll also study hard and finish all the review materials that Claudia got for me. Please don't be angry at me anymore."
It was the first time Thalia had bowed to Henry. Previously, no matter how stubborn or how much trouble she caused, she always came home with her head held high, refusing to apologize.
She always felt the only reason Henry forced her to apologize was because Claudia was present. She was sure that Henry would be reluctant to scold Claudia if she were the one who made a mistake, but just because it was her, he would not hesitate.
Henry did not know what his youngest daughter had been through, but after spending the afternoon away, she suddenly became more sensible upon her return, which made him somewhat skeptical.
However, in the face of her apology, he had to encourage and comfort her.
"Alright, I'm glad to hear you say that. Looks like all our efforts of disciplining you haven't been in vain. As for what happened this afternoon, I've thought about it, and I have to admit I was too impulsive. No matter how serious your mistake is, I shouldn't have hit you." He sighed. "It's all because I didn't manage to save your mother back then. If your mother were still here, maybe you wouldn't have turned out so rebellious."
His words saddened both Claudia and Thalia. Claudia even rushed up and hugged him. "Dad, please don't say that. You haven't done anything wrong. In fact, you chose not to remarry so that you could take good care of us. Both of us know that and appreciate all of your hard work."

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...
