Henry himself offered himself as the one to deliver the first ransom.
Thalia disagreed right away. "No! What if those kidnappers take you too? You can't fight, and you can't defend yourself either. It's too dangerous! I won't let you go."
Beatrice hesitated for a while before saying, "We know how much you want to save your daughter, but your proposal makes things very risky. There's no telling whether things will go awry..."
Wally nodded. "Their concerns are valid. I believe you should continue to observe from behind the scenes. Our officers will handle the job of placing the money in the designated location."
Henry, however, was adamant. "I didn't make this suggestion out of impulse. First of all, the kidnappers asked us not to call the police. We would've already gone against their demands by involving the police. Secondly, delivering the money to their designated location allows us to establish contact with them, which will help us later on.
"If the kidnappers find out that the person paying the ransom is a police officer, then I'm sure you can imagine how furious they will be. If that happens, we'll only be putting our children at risk. This task might be dangerous, but I'm willing to do it if it helps them escape smoothly."
Thalia held her father's arm tightly. "I don't care what or how many reasons you give me. I won't let you do this! Claudia's not your only daughter, you know! I'm your daughter too. Did you consider my opinion before offering yourself? What am I going to do with my life if something happens to 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...
