Sherman nodded slightly to express his apology. "Mister Vince, can we talk somewhere else? I'd like to keep things between the two of us."
Karen interjected anxiously, "Mister Sherman, I don't think that's appropriate. I… I'm Rita's mother, and I believe I should have the right to know some things. I want to know when you and Rita got together. Since you two are together, why didn't you tell us? How can you be so irresponsi—?"
"Mom, can you please shut up? How can you assume they're together just because they were in the same room?" interjected Sadie heatedly. "Can you let Sherman finish speaking before you ask? Ugh, you can be so annoying sometimes!"
Sherman frowned subconsciously at Sadie's address, but what mattered then was explaining to Vince what had happened.
"That's enough. I'll ask him all the questions. You and Sadie wait here."
Vince strode ahead toward the end of the hotel corridor, with Sherman following closely behind.
"So, how do you plan to explain this?" Vince's face was livid. Of course, anyone would be upset seeing their daughter lying in bed with another man, especially after hearing numerous rumors about her before this.
"I didn't get a chance to explain before your wife accused me. Mister Vince, you're a smart man, so I believe you can figure out what happened here. If you truly care about your daughter, I suggest you look into the women around you."
Vince's face turned ashen. He could not believe what he was hearing from Sherman. "So, you're saying you and my daughter are innocent and you have no feelings for her?"
Sherman remained silent for a moment before nodding. "That's correct. I came here today because I'm her friend. This was all an accident. I hope you won't misunderstand. If possible, please take Rita to the hospital as soon as you can. We don't know what she was drugged with, and I'm not sure if she can hold out that much longer."

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...
