The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1852

Melinda felt that nothing she said could snap Adam back to his senses. "Fine! In that case, I'm done with you! You can go and bail Sophia out if you want, but give Lilin back to me."

She took Lilin from Adam and walked out when the elevator doors opened.

Adam caught up to them and said, "What do you expect me to do, Mel? I can't just ignore Sophia!"

Melinda took a deep breath and said disappointedly, "Go help Sophia, then. Lilin and I won't support you in this decision. We'll go our separate ways from now on. You can take Sophia, and I'll take Lilin. If Sophia does anything to hurt anyone, you can bear the consequences alone."

Adam could only remark helplessly, "Mel…Sophia isn't as evil as you make her out to be..."

Unable to bear his unreasonable remark, Melinda looked at Adam in bewilderment and said, "Haven't you seen all those wrongdoings she did over the years? She nearly succeeded in splashing acid on Corinne today! Sophia has always resorted to extreme measures when she doesn't get what she wants, and today's incident takes the cake. Is that still not enough for you to see that she's a bad person? I'm starting to wonder what your definition of a bad person is.

"The concern you show for Sophia's well-being is so great that it comes at the expense of turning a blind eye to the harm that she could cause to others! Why must Sophia be excused from facing the consequences of hurting other people? Corinne saved my life. She might not mean much to you, but she means a lot to me. I can't bear to live with you anymore! I won't stop you from rescuing Sophia, but we're going ahead with the divorce once you're done!"

Adam was speechless. He knew that Sophia had committed much wrongdoing, but he could not bring himself to leave her be. "Mel, you're forcing me to choose between you or Sophia!"

"I'm not forcing you to choose between us," Melinda corrected him. "Lilin and I are simply removing ourselves from your life so you can pamper Sophia to your heart's content."

Adam felt a little conflicted but nodded regardless. "Okay. I'm not planning on doing anything anyway. I just want to go there and check on her."

Lilin then said to him, "You'll have to keep your promise if you want me to look up to you and respect you, Dad."

Adam sighed helplessly. Of all the struggles he had faced in his life, the most heart-wrenching one was when his younger daughter did not acknowledge him because he failed to educate his eldest daughter. He had no one else to blame but himself.

When they reached the police station, Adam explained who he was to the officer on duty and was soon brought to the place where the criminals were detained.
