"You're a Russell now, so your grades represent those of the Rusell family. If your grades are poor, it will reflect badly on your father! Be a good girl, Sadie, and listen to me. Just stay at home and study. Consider it as keeping me company, okay?"
Karen held Sadie's hand, not letting her leave. She had been feeling anxious lately, sensing that something big was about to happen every time her daughter insisted on going out.
However, Sadie firmly broke free from Karen's grasp. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm just going out to buy a few books. I'll be back soon. If you're still worried, I'll video-call you when I get there, alright?"
The more Sadie disobeyed her, the more Karen suspected that her daughter was hiding something from her. However, she could not stop her since she was heavily pregnant.
Soon, Rita came downstairs to have lunch with the family. Karen immediately lost her appetite when she saw Rita was there, and it was the same for Rita. However, Rita forced herself to stay at the dining table to get more information for her investigation.
Nevertheless, Rita was not one to starve herself. Especially when Sherman found out what she had been doing lately, he would always pick her up from the Russells' estate after she was done investigating. She had no idea where he found all these delicious dishes, but he would take her around the city to explore every corner.
They had been everywhere from five-star hotels to street corners. Rita got to know Sherman better with each trip, but the more she got to know him, the harder she found it to let go of him.
'This is the last time,' Rita told herself. At the same time, another voice echoed, 'Why would he be so patient with me if he doesn't have any feelings for me?'
Rita knew the answer to this question, but the more she knew, the less she dared to get close to him.

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...
