Adam was on his way to meet an old friend. His expression immediately soured when he saw his good-for-nothing son-in-law.
Seeing Adam was ignoring her, Sophia repeated, "Hey, Dad. Zachary and I were just going to take Benjamin out for a stroll. Do you want to join us?"
Adam scoffed. "You all don't look like you really want me to go."
"Nonsense! Of course we'd love for you to join."
Adam waved his hand. "Forget it. I'm not the type of person to tag along where I'm not welcomed."
After that, he put his hands behind his back and walked to the elevator with his entourage behind him.
Sophia frowned and sighed helplessly. Her relationship with Adam had been tense the past few days. She wondered when he would transfer all of his assets to her.
Sophia did not want to have another quarrel with her father, so she deliberately slowed down her pace while wheeling Jeremy so that they would have to take the next elevator ride.
On the way, Jeremy asked, "Did you and your father argue?"
Sophia snapped out of her thoughts and pretended to explain nonchalantly, "Of course not. Don't overthink things, Zachary."
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "I remember your father always spoils you rotten, but he's changed lately. What happened?"
Sophia was a little taken aback by his question. She chuckled awkwardly and answered, "Zachary, what are you talking about? Dad will never do that to me! You know he dotes on me a lot."
"I'm just saying 'if'."
Sophia did not even want to think about that. "There's never going to be an 'if'. I'm never going to let that happen."
Jeremy chuckled nonchalantly. "So I take it that it'll be very hard for you to choose between me and money?"
Sophia detected the hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Zachary, where's all this coming from? It's not an either or situation. I'd choose you, but I won't give up my inheritance rights either. I deserve to get every penny that my dad has! Plus, how am I supposed to give you and Benjamin a good life if we don't have money?"

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...
