Maxwell sighed and turned around. He was walking back to the mansion when he bumped into another person. This time, it was his son, Lucas.
"Aren't you going to work today?" Maxwell asked with concern, though it seemed to have not landed well with Lucas.
Lucas glanced at his father coldly. "I'm going right now," he said neutrally.
Maxwell was used to being treated so coldly by Lucas, so he thought nothing of it and walked back to the mansion.
The atmosphere inside the mansion was very gloomy. Phoebe and Anya were still hugging each other, crying.
Maxwell simply glanced at them and walked upstairs to wash his hand in his attached bathroom without asking anything. It was as if nothing happened at all.
Cedric, who was in the living room, was beyond irked at their incessant crying. "For god's sake, will you two just stop crying?! Especially you, Anya. You should be ashamed of what you did," he said angrily.
Anya's eyes were grossly swollen by then. "Grandpa…" she whimpered.
Phoebe wiped away her tears. "Dad, Anya was just trying—"
"Shut up, Phoebe!" boomed Cedric before she could finish her sentence. "Is this how you raised your daughter? Anya must've learned all those dirty tricks from you! After all, you're the type that's willing to do anything to get their hands on something that's not theirs!"
Phoebe's expression hardened, but she broke out in sobs again. "Dad, Mom, you'd rather believe the words of an outsider instead of mine and Anya's?! Yes, it's true Anya was the mastermind behind the online scandal, but hasn't it ever crossed your mind that she's doing it to bring justice to all the people who Corinne had hurt?"

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...
