Emily and Melinda exchanged glances at Sherlyn's sudden change in attitude before turning to look back at her.
"Do come in. It's really hot out there," said Sherlyn smilingly.
Emily nodded. "When will your father be back?"
"Soon, actually. Take a seat! I'll go make you all some coffee while you wait for him."
Emily, Melinda, and Lilin walked into the mansion. They instinctively made a beeline to the living room, but Sherlyn stopped them.
"I'm sorry, but our sofa is damaged, so you can't sit there. Might I trouble you all to follow me to the guest room upstairs instead? It's much cooler there too," said Sherlyn with a smile.
Since she had said that, there was no reason for Emily and Melinda to turn her down. Thus, they followed her upstairs.
Lilin followed behind them while observing her surroundings vigilantly. Something was off about the whole thing.
Sherlyn brought the guests to the attic, which used to be Corinne's old room.
"You three just sit here for a while. I'll go get you something to drink," said Sherlyn with a polite smile.
Even though Emily thought it was weird Sherlyn would bring them to the cramped attic, she still thanked her and said nothing else.
She walked to the desk with a built-in shelf, and she took out a notebook from it. It was Corinne's old notebook, which she used to write notes about her graduation thesis.
The bitterness in Emily's heart intensified when she saw her daughter's neat handwriting. She flipped to the first page, and sure enough, there was her name and class written on it.
'So this is where she sleeps? Why, the ceiling is so low that she would have to bend herself in half not to hit her head!'
The room was also very damp. She touched the blanket and found it to be clammy. 'How could Marvin let Luna stay in this kind of environment?'
She did not entrust her daughter to him without giving him a reward. She did give him a vintage jewel necklace, hoping that he would take good care of her for a period.

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...
