'If it weren't for Claudia clinging to him, how could they have been involved in this kidnapping case? Dad was taken away by those kidnappers just to save her. All of this was her fault!' thought Thalia.
"I didn't say anything wrong! If it weren't for Claudia having an ulterior motive for you, why would my dad be lying here right now? Why didn't you save him?"
Lucas remained silent; he did not know where to begin explaining. Nothing was going on between him and Claudia.
"The ambulance is on its way. We've already administered emergency measures to your father. I'm sorry." Jimmy turned away, unable to offer better emergency treatment for Henry lying on the ground. That was their mistake.
Thalia did not want to argue with them anymore. She just knelt beside her father, crying out in distress.
She was filled with resentment. 'Dad, why didn't you listen to me when I advised you? It's been like this since I was little. You were even willing to sacrifice your life for Claudia. Am I not your daughter too? Is it because Claudia looks more like Mom?'
Thalia, both sorrowful and regretful, wondered why it was not Claudia lying on the ground but her father instead. She hoped it would be him, not Claudia, if she had to leave behind a loved one in this world. She felt that Claudia, the damned woman, did not deserve to live.
Claudia continued to cry. She became unable to speak as if she had lost the ability to react to the outside world.

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...
