Sunny frowned and said innocently, "How am I annoying? I gave you two some time to talk, didn't I? Xante, you should jump to my defense when someone calls me annoying. I am your future husband."
Xante took a deep breath and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "Okay, we had our lunch and you had your fun, so let's take you back to the hospital."
Sunny gave her a silly smile. "Xante, are you going to come up with me to see my dad, too?"
"I already saw him yesterday, so today's a pass," replied Xante coldly before she got into the car.
Sunny quickly got into the front seat and buckled his seat belt.
"Yesterday was yesterday; today is today. It's best to visit him every day since he's going to be your father-in-law one day!"
Xante stepped on the gas pedal and said gruffly, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't stop, I'm going to throw you out of the car!"
Sunny crossed his arms and leaned back on his seat. "I'm not talking nonsense! You're my future wife, so that makes my dad your future father-in-law. Xante, this shy act of yours is getting kinda tiring."
Xante scoffed and asked, "Who said I'm being shy?"
Sunny lifted his chin and said confidently, "I don't need anyone to tell me for me to know myself. You're being shy, and I like it!"
Xante abruptly stopped the car by the side of the road. Because of this, Sunny lurched forward before he slammed back into his seat.
He turned to look at Xante in confusion and asked, "Why did you suddenly stop the car? Xante… You're not really going to throw me out of the car, are you?"
However, when they came to an overhead bridge where stopping the car was not allowed, Sunny could not help but say, "Xante, can you please come visit my dad later? He's really quite pitiful."
Xante frowned. "And what does that have to do with me?"
Sunny sighed. "You know how much he wants to see Corinne, right? But she doesn't want to see him, and it's not like I can force her. I was thinking you could maybe distract him from her. You are his future daughter-in-law. Please, Xante? Have some heart for my dad, will you?"
Xante scoffed. "Have some heart for him? Don't you know all the things he did when he was young? The boss wouldn't have ended up living with the Carews and suffered one hardship after another as a kid if it weren't for your jerk of a dad! There's no law saying the boss has to forgive him just because he's old and wants to make up for what he did!"
"No… I'm not aware of what happened back then, but…he's still my dad! It's not like I can just stop caring about him!" said Sunny guiltily.
Xante scoffed again. "You really empathize with your dad huh? I can't help but think you might just turn out a huge jerk like him!"

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...
