'My sweet baby girl… How on earth has she managed to navigate all these years on her own?' thought Emily as a tinge of bitterness welled up in her heart. Even her breath seemed to carry a subtle ache.
Melinda handed a cup of warm water to her. "Alright, you must be tired after rushing over here overnight. Take a sip, and catch your breath. I'll take you over to see Corinne as soon as the day breaks."
Emily snapped out of her thoughts and accepted the cup of warm water. She took a sip and composed herself.
"By the way, how's everything with you and Brian? Still in a bit of a spat?" Emily asked asked.
After she had calmed down, she had the spare attention to concern herself with Melida's relationship.
A troubled expression crossed Melinda's face at the mention of her foolish husband. "I don't want to talk about him."
Melinda had a rough night's sleep. Coupled with the fact that Emily woke her up early, she looked slightly sullen as she sat beside her daughter.
Emily had witnessed how Melinda sacrificed herself over the years for the sake of love, and she empathized with her. "You can't really count on any man. If he keeps causing you such distress, maybe you should just call it quits!"
Melinda forced a smile. "Yeah, it would be great if we could just leave."
Lilin's innocent eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Miss. Emily, are men that unreliable? Then why do so many girls still choose to get married?"
The question had Emily stumped. While answering it was not difficult, she did not want her own failed marriage to influence the little girl. Lilin was still very young, so she wished to protect her beautiful longing for love.
After a day of wandering in the amusement park, Corinne enjoyed a rare night of peaceful sleep. The kids slept like logs too. Corinne felt blessed to be able to wake up to her favorite people every day, and soon they would be joined by two more people.
Knock, knock!
The knock on the door brought her out of her reverie. She tucked in the blankets for the kids before quickly getting up to answer the door.
In the early morning, there stood Pamela with her personal maid beside her.
Corinne was a bit puzzled and asked, "Grandma, you could've just sent someone to call me if you were looking for me. You didn't have to come to me personally."

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...
