"We were supposed to have dinner at home. I'm starving. Let's at least eat something. Even if we can go hungry, we shouldn't let the little one in your belly go hungry," said Vince.
Karen reluctantly nodded. 'His daughter is missing. How can he still have the appetite to eat? This is totally unheard of!'
…
Meanwhile, Rita was lying in the back and swaying with the movement of a large truck with her eyes and mouth covered. She could only press her ear against the carriage, straining to listen to the sounds outside. She did not know who these people were or why they wanted to kidnap her.
Just like Sherman, the only person she could think of that she had offended recently was Esmond. 'But I've been keeping my distance away from him, so why would he resort to such a drastic measure against me?'
Rita could not find an answer; she did not know what went wrong in between. She was filled with anxiety and fear, not knowing what her kidnappers were up to. As the truck continued on its journey, the outside sounds grew fainter as if they were leaving the city. Rita's heart pounded with even greater fear.
'It's okay, Sherman heard what happened to me, so he'll definitely come to rescue me—just like all the times he did.' Rita repeated this sentence in her mind.
She held onto the belief that Sherman would come swooping in like last time to save her from danger. With this mantra, she felt relatively better. Otherwise, she would have had a nervous breakdown long ago.
Her kidnappers were banking on her having a nervous breakdown, thus they did not drug her. Instead of letting her wake up at their destination, it was better to keep her awake and gradually break her down along the way. Then, she would be powerless to resist once they had reached their destination.

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...
