Henry's hands had been tied in a harsh knot, and he was not taken seriously in the slightest. When he woke up, he heard a group of people telling dirty jokes in the car and laughing from time to time.
"These rich people are so fun to play with. They think we're stupid, but you're smart, Boss! All you did was dangle some bait, and they fell for it—hook, line, and sinker!" one of the men said in a low voice.
Henry closed his eyes while trying to determine how many people were in the car. He planned to use that opportunity to rescue the two kids if the kidnappers captured him, but he needed to consider his own capabilities too. Though he might still be able to attempt it if there were not a lot of people, he would have to wait patiently for the police to rescue him if he was outnumbered.
All in all, he had to place his faith in the police.
"Those idiots must've called the cops, but they were just careful not to show up in front of us. We've dealt with the authorities for so many years that we've gotten an intimate understanding of how they operate. Their biggest fear is alerting the enemy, so they'll definitely meet our first request.
"Heck, if I had known that things would go so well, I would've demanded more! We can have more money to spend, and more wine to drink!" a man spoke confidently and arrogantly in apparent disregard of the police.
"Aw, that's so considerate of you, Boss! I didn't think you'd keep us in mind and treat us to a feast too," another voice chimed in.
The realization that none of them took the police seriously because they were all jailbird veterans made Henry frown. He feared that escaping their clutches might not be as easy as it seemed. In any case, he was prepared to face the worst as long as his daughter could escape.
All of a sudden, one of the gangsters noticed that Henry was awake. "Hey, old man! Do you think you can fool me by closing your eyes so tightly?" he asked, punching Henry in the stomach.
Henry groaned in pain, attracting the kidnappers' attention. "Ask about him, Manny. A coward like him can't be a cop, right?"

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...
