Annie folded her arms. "What are you going to say now? Everything I said was true, and you know it! If you're as amazing as you claim to be, you wouldn't even need to go on a blind date to get a woman."
Gibby was furious and slammed his hands on the table as he stood up. "Did you think I'd willingly choose an old, unwanted woman like you if our parents didn't know each other?"
Annie glared at him. "Who are you calling old and unwanted? I'm younger than you! If your logic is anything to go, you're the one who is an old, unwanted man!"
Gibby could not contain his temper and reached for the juice on the table. He was seconds away from splashing it all over Annie's face when a hand appeared out of nowhere and held him back.
Annie flinched instinctively to avoid the impending splash, which never came. When she looked up, she was surprised that Aaron appeared and stopped Gibby in the nick of time. He took the glass and poured it calmly into a trash can beneath the table.
Gibby was perplexed by the sudden intervention. He frowned as he looked at the stranger who grabbed the glass and poured out its contents. "Who are you? Why did you pour out the drink?"
Aaron placed the empty glass on the table and smiled. "Why? Because I can't stand to see a grown man like you splash juice at a woman."
Gibby stood up and realized he was significantly shorter than Aaron, who was 186 centimeters tall. Gibby's height hardly came close to being 180 centimeters as he had claimed. He felt utterly humiliated in front of a man who far surpassed him in looks and height, and that led to increased agitation from him. "This is between me and my girlfriend! Who are you to butt in and interfere? Get out of my sight and stop meddling in other people's affairs!"
Aaron chuckled upon hearing this. "Your girlfriend? Are you referring to the lovely young woman sitting across from you?"
Once Annie provided her response, Aaron looked up at Gibby. "Hear that, pal? Annie said she doesn't know you."
Gibby was stunned for a brief moment, and he immediately pointed at the two of them. "You two know each other?"
"Yes," Aaron answered with a smile. "I've been trying to win her heart for three years now, but she hasn't reciprocated any of my gestures yet."
Gibby felt unable to compete with Aaron's far better appearance, so he resorted to sarcastic remarks. "Haha! Is that so? Why are you even interested in someone like her? She's an old and unwanted woman who was almost married once. I'm sure you can tell she's not a virgin! Your taste in women is pretty bad!"

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...
