Xante smiled and silently sat on the chair Sunny brought her. What else could she say? She did not even know why Sunny insisted on her visiting Maxwell.
The awkward silence was broken after Sunny sat on the other chair he brought over.
"Dad! Guess what we did just now!"
Maxwell smiled and shook his head. "I don't know. What did you do?"
Sunny smiled proudly and answered, "We had lunch with Corinne!"
Maxwell was taken aback before an envious expression overtook him. "Really? What did you guys have? Did she like it?"
"We had Japanese. It was okay."
There was nothing but tenderness in Maxwell's eyes when he asked, "What does she usually like to eat? Does she still have a sweet tooth like she did when she was little?"
He was looking at Xante when he asked those questions. After all, Sunny told him Xante was a very close friend of Corinne and that they went way back.
Xante shook her head. "We were poor when we were little. We didn't have money to buy sweet stuff, so she slowly came to dislike sweet stuff."
Maxwell felt a pang in his heart when he heard Corinne was so poor that she did not even get to eat any sweet stuff when she was little. He sighed and said, "This is all my fault…"
Xante said nothing else. Even though she could do small talk, it did not mean she could say something that went against her conscience. After all, it was all Maxwell's fault for being a sh*tty father.
Seeing that Maxwell was getting sad again, Sunny quickly changed the topic. "Dad! You seem much better after taking your medicine and IV drip. Should Xante and I take you out to the garden for a walk?"
"It's getting dark outside. Your dad won't be able to see anything," commented Xante.
Sunny grinned and said, "Regardless, I appreciate it."
Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and ignored him.
At that moment, several nurses were wheeling a woman on her hospital bed along the corridor. The woman was hooked up to an IV drip, but they could not see her face as it was lowered.
Xante made a cursory glance and thought nothing of it, but her face changed when she saw Melinda and Lilin following the hospital bed.
'Aren't they Adam's wife and daughter? What are they doing here?' she wondered.
Ding!
"Hello, earth to Xante! The elevator's here. Let's go."

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...
