"Quick, Grandma. We gotta go save Mister Henry!" Lucas only stayed in Beatrice's embrace for a few seconds before lifting his head. "We gotta hurry! The fact that this kidnapper found us probably means Mister Henry might be in danger!"
Claudia snapped out of her shock upon hearing what Lucas said. She quickly grabbed the arm of a police officer. "Officer, please save my dad! My dad is still there. He might be in danger!"
Beatrice patted Lucas' back before turning to Claudia. "Child, we've split into two teams. One team has gone to find your father. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about him."
Unfortunately, no amount of reassurance could ease Claudia's distress. She looked dazed, prompting Beatrice to have her assisted into the car. "Get her some water to drink. Let's go, Lucas. Get in the car."
As for Manny, even though he was caught by the police, he continued to struggle. He tried to escape so that he could return and inform Stan about the newcomers. Unfortunately, they were facing well-equipped police officers.
Jimmy, especially after learning the kidnappers' identities, dared not take them lightly. Everyone was fully equipped to apprehend the suspects, so how could they let such a big fish slip through their net?
Jimmy stood firm in front of Manny. "Looks like we're old acquaintances, huh? How many of you are there?"
Manny glanced at Jimmy but remained silent. His solitary, stubborn nature had made him unsociable, but somehow, he had clicked with Stan in prison. Since then, he had faithfully followed him. Stan also had great trust in Manny; he considered him his right-hand man.
The police officers had thought they were in for a tough fight. They had not expected to apprehend a major criminal right away, and this boosted Jimmy's confidence. There was no time to waste. He led everyone toward the yard, hoping for a favorable outcome there too.

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...
