It was only dawn when loud knocks coupled with the sound of insistent doorbell ringing could be heard coming from a typical residential neighborhood in New Capital City. Melinda and Lilin instantly woke up.
Lilin groggily rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Who is it? Why would anyone knock on our door so early in the morning?"
Melinda had already gotten out of bed and was looking for something to wear. "Lilin, go back to sleep. I'll see who it is."
Although Lilin had just woken up and her mind was still a bit fuzzy, she was still alert. She got out of bed and grabbed her mother, who was about to go to the door.
"Mom, this isn't our home, and your friend hasn't lived in this house for a while! Who else will show up at someone else's door this early in the morning? We need to be cautious; it could be someone with bad intentions!"
Melinda glanced at the clock on the wall and noted that it was only four o'clock in the morning. Being sought out at this hour was indeed very unusual.
Lilin also quickly put on her clothes. "Mom, wait for me. I'll come with you to see who it is! Even though Dad's not here, he surely has arranged for his people to keep an eye on us. His people wouldn't let strangers come knocking on our door! My guess is that if it's not Dad's men, it's the bad guys who've already taken down Dad's lackeys."
Hearing her daughter's speculation, Melinda could not help but start to feel nervous.
'I don't think I've offended anyone, so who could these bad guys be? Could it be someone sent by Sophia to deal with me and Lilin?'
With these thoughts in mind, Melinda took her daughter's hand, ready to protect her in case anything happened.
The knocking outside grew louder and more urgent.
With that, Melinda slowly opened the door.
Just as Lilin was teetering between nervousness and curiosity, she spotted a striking figure darting in, accompanied by a subtle, cool scent of roses.
This mysterious person, upon entering, immediately embraced Melinda.
It took Lilin a full minute to snap out of her daze. "Miss Emily? What are you doing here?"
Emily released her grip on Melinda and looked down at her student. "Did I startle you, Lilin?"

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...
