Zachary narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have deduced something through Lucas' silence. "If Miss Corinne and I weren't husband and wife, why would I take a child from her back then?"
Lucas snapped back to his senses and glared at him. "I'd like to know the answer to that too!"
Zachary looked at the infuriated Lucas and responded calmly, "Make I ask your surname?"
"It's Rivera," Lucas answered coldly.
Zachary asked further, "And what is your relationship to Miss Corinne?"
"She's my sister."
Zachary nodded. "I understand. Your anger toward me stems from your belief that I've wronged your sister."
"Wronged? That's an understatement!" Lucas roared. "The harm you inflicted on her can hardly be described as a mere 'wronging'."
Zachary then replied, "I don't remember anything, so I can't offer you an explanation for your accusations at the moment."
Lucas had always been gentle in character, but he could no longer help himself from gritting his teeth. "Do you then expect me to just let you off the hook so you can spend your days away with Sophia with the child that you took from my sister?"
Unfortunately, Zachary shook his head and said, "As someone with amnesia, both your statements and Sophia's are the same to me. It's one-sided. I find it difficult to trust either side completely."
Lucas retorted with a cold sneer, "So you're willing to continue staying with Sophia?"
Zachary lowered his gaze in deep contemplation and responded, "I'm more inclined to believe your version of events for the sole fact that my son and Corinne's son are the spitting image of each other. While I won't go back with you on an impulse, I don't intend to stay with Sophia either. Sophia might not let it slide under those circumstances, and we might risk the lives of innocent people. Sophia came back to the country to deal with her father's assets. After that, she plans to take Benjamin and me to a private island she purchased. She wants to isolate us from the world. I hope you can lend me a hand before that happens."
Lucas eyed him warily and asked, "What sort of assistance do you need?"

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...
