"Before going to rehearsal, I had told her to wait for me at the entrance of the auditorium while I went to ask the teacher if she could go in. But as soon as I came out, she was gone. All the teachers and students were waiting for me in the auditorium, and I... I couldn't leave without telling them anything!" said Claudia.
Thalia explained through tears, "Claudia, I didn't mean to wander off. It was just too sunny outside the auditorium, so I wanted to find a shady spot. I didn't see you coming out. If I knew I could go in, I wouldn't have wandered off. I know I shouldn't wander in unfamiliar places, Dad, I really didn't mean to! Please don't scold Claudia anymore. It's all my fault. I won't go to her school again next time."
Claudia bit her lip and remained silent. Henry lost his composure even more when he saw Thalia crying so sadly.
"You're too cocky for your own good! You think you can do everything well. But in reality, you ended up causing your sister to suffer in an unfamiliar place. Now that she's finally back, instead of admitting your mistake and apologizing to her, you're telling me it's not your fault? Claudia, I'm really disappointed in you."
Henry's words hit Claudia hard, and she looked up with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry... But Thalia did come back safely, didn't she?"
"How dare you talk back to me? You still think you didn't do anything wrong, huh?"
Claudia did not respond and stood there silently. It was evident she felt wronged.
Henry, softened by his youngest daughter's tears, slapped Claudia. "Fine, stay there for all I care. No dinner for you tonight either. You better take this time to reflect on your mistake."

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...
