"The reason you're so weak right now is because you've been running around too much outside. You might as well take this time at home to rest properly," Vince suggested.
Rita nodded and quietly ate her breakfast.
Vince looked at her and felt that his daughter had grown up. Perhaps she could understand his intentions.
Little did he know that she was already planning to search the study for evidence once he was out of the house.
With only Vince having a job, the atmosphere at the table changed completely once he left. Rita did not say a word but subtly moved her seat further away from Karen.
"Hey, weren't you sitting close to me? Why the sudden change?" Karen remarked.
Rita replied with a smile, "Oh, I'm afraid my negative energy might affect the baby in your belly."
She remembered Karen saying something similar when she initially tried to get close to her. Karen had said Rita brought back luck, and that supposedly caused her mother's death. Rita had kept that in mind for a long time.
Surprisingly, Karen nodded seriously. "Yes, it was pure luck I was able to conceive. It's better for you to stay away. After all, your father is hoping for a son from me! I'll give him what your mother couldn't!"
Rita's hand holding a spoon paused in the air before she resumed eating as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, Donna could not contain her anger.
At this moment, Vince had gone to work.
Even Sadie frowned in disdain at Donna. 'Who does this servant think she is? How dare she talk back to Mom? How laughable!'
Karen took a couple of deep breaths, realizing her precious condition made her above these lowly people. Why bother getting angry with them?
"Miss Rita, the food has gone cold. Let me reheat it for you."

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...
