Emily realized Corinne and Jeremy must have had something to do with Adam being taken away.
She looked at Melinda guiltily, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Mel. I think I know what's going on, but I can't do anything. I…"
"It's okay, Emily. I understand how you feel. I'd feel the same if I were you," said Melinda while patting Emily's hand.
Emily's eyes reddened with sadness and guilt.
When she wandered all those years without a place to call home, Melinda had always been there for her. Yet, when Melinda needed her help to save her family, she could not provide any…
She felt sorry for Melinda as well as Corinne. She gave Corinne away to the wrong person and made her suffer for many years. While Corinne prevailed over life's challenges and met her perfect match, they were separated for three years because of some troublemaker.
Emily was well aware she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother to Corinne, so she had no right to ask her to let Adam go, especially when his daughter was the one who took Jeremy away from her.
Melinda stood up and gave Emily a strong, determined smile. "I can wait no matter how long it takes. You know how much of a fool I can be when it comes to love! Remember the time when you tried to talk me out of marrying Adam, but I didn't take your advice and married him anyway? That's how stubborn I am! Anyway, stop worrying about me. When I'm in love, even water tastes like honey to me. I'm sure I'll enjoy my time waiting for him."
"Oh, Mel, you silly girl…" Emily's heavy heart was lightened up by her optimism.
Melinda smiled. "I mean it! I'm glad that he finally sees his faults now. And he definitely should be punished for turning Sophia into such a spoiled brat!"

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...
