Sherman heard Karen's voice. He had just managed to lay Rita back on the bed when the door swung open. He did not even have the time to pull a blanket over her.
"Don't be too harsh on her. Who knows, maybe Rita has fallen in love. I believe she's still innocent. You shouldn't believe rumors and doubt your own child," said Karen nicely as if she was deeply concerned about Rita.
Meanwhile, Vince looked downright tense. He refused to believe that his daughter was not virtuous. However, when those people presented all the photos to him, he began to waver.
'Have I been too strict on Rita? Is that why she's rebelling like this? Oh, how am I going to face her mother when I see her again?' thought Vince, who had remained silent throughout the journey.
However, upon opening the door, they were greeted by an unexpected sight. Karen's expression immediately turned sour.
"You? What are you doing here?" Vince asked, noticing Rita lying behind him.
Even though he was Rita's biological father, he knew he had to be cautious at that moment. He promptly pulled Karen out of the room.
"Get yourselves sorted out before you come out again!"
This was Vince's first time displaying his senior authority in front of Sherman.
Sherman frowned as he looked at Rita still unconscious on the bed. He needed to get her to the hospital quickly. He pondered how he could swiftly resolve this matter, especially with Karen's incessant chatter.
'Isn't she always focused on her career? Why did she suddenly set her sights on an outstanding man? I saw him first! Why does this shameless woman always have to steal what's mine?!'
Rita continued to sleep soundly, oblivious to the chaos outside. Once Sherman made sure her hand was not bleeding anymore, he smoothed out the wrinkles in his suit and carefully closed the door behind him.
Vince's face turned even darker when he saw Sherman come out alone.
"Where's my daughter? I hope you can give me a good explanation of what's going on." Every word was spoken with conviction; this was a father's anger. At that moment, he was not a company president but Rita's father instead.

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...
