"In fact, Mom asked me to return! I was hanging out with a few classmates earlier, and they can testify for me!"
Karen, also panicking, chimed in, "That's right. while Sadie and Rita would argue from time to time, it was always over minor matters. How can you pin such a serious crime on Sadie? If you don't believe her, you should go ask her classmates!
"She went to the library with them, and they all came from respectable families, so they wouldn't possibly lie, right?"
Sadie, sobbing with her head lowered, said, "I know I'm not your real daughter, Dad, and no matter what, I can never compete with Rita for your love. But I've been in this family for so long, and I've always regarded you as my real father… It really pains me to have you accuse me like this."
With tears also streaming down her face, Karen pleaded, "Vince, let's settle this once and for all today. Answer me this: do you distrust Sadie deep down? How could you unjustly accuse my daughter? We've sacrificed so much for this family, you know that very well. How could you doubt Sadie like this?"
She shook her head sorrowfully, then instinctively covered her belly. "Since you never trusted us, why did you want me to keep this baby? I might as well go to the hospital tomorrow and get rid of this baby. At least then he wouldn't have to go through the pain of his own father not trusting him!"
Startled, Vince quickly reached out to hold her hand. "What are you talking about? When did I ever doubt Sadie? I was just asking. What if Sadie was involved in this matter? Not intentionally, but because of an honest mistake. After all, she's still a child herself and doesn't have the maturity to deal with a lot of situations…"
"There you go again! Fine, I'll go to the hospital now—" Karen's threat about going to the hospital left Vince with his hands tied.

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...
