Rita grumbled, "Come on, we're practically buddies now. Isn't one meal enough? How about two, then? You know what? I'll treat you to as many meals as you want, as long as you can eat that much."
"You said it yourself. You better not go back on your word. I've recorded this conversation."
"Hmph, I'm a woman of my word!"
Little did they know that in just a month, their relationship would undergo a drastic change. They would never have moments of playfulness like this again.
As Vince accompanied Karen for her check-up, he only became truly certain that he was really going to have another baby when he held that small piece of paper in his hand. He kissed Karen's cheek in front of the doctor.
"Thank you for giving me this baby. Whatever you want in the future, I'll give it to you."
Karen blushed shyly and dodged his affection. "Come on, we've been married for so long. There's no need for such mushy stuff. Besides, everything I have is because of you. This baby is something I've been looking forward to for a long time, so I'm not only doing it for you."
Vince nodded happily. "Yes, you're right. From now on, you're the boss in our family. Whatever you say goes."
Sadie never expected her mother to get pregnant at this point, but having a son would indeed be a boon for them. Since Vince was basking in the joy of having a late-life baby, he would grant Karen anything she asked for. In other words, it would be easy for Karen to ask Vince to set Sadie up with Sherman.
Vince had not realized that Sadie was still determined to marry Sherman; he saw no compatibility between the two.
"It's been a while, Mister Sherman. You look as handsome as ever," Rita said, looking up at Sherman with a smile. However, she did not expect him to look so grim.
"Have you been busy with work? Why do you seem so upset at coming out for dinner?"
Sherman smirked. "I didn't expect you to be so shameless, Miss Rita. Anyone would be upset if they were being taken advantage of, wouldn't they?"
"What?" Rita's smile froze. She did not understand what he was talking about. "Are you mistaken about something? We agreed that I'd treat you to dinner once I was discharged. We even spoke on the phone before. This meal is on me. You don't need to pay anything."

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...
