"The weather's perfect today. How about I set up a small table in the garden for you to enjoy the sun while having some snacks?" Donna suggested.
Donna took a deep breath. She knew that standing up for Rita did not amount to much; it was just a momentary satisfaction. After all, Rita had been through such situations countless times over the years. It was better to get Rita away from Karen and Sadie, so that her appetite would not be ruined at the sight of them.
Rita smiled and said, "Sure, please reheat it for me. I'll head out to the garden in a bit."
She patted Donna's arm and turned to Karen. "Karen, have you told my dad about your relationship with Esmond?"
Karen tensed up as soon as Esmond's name was mentioned; she no longer displayed the relaxed demeanor she had before.
"What are you talking about? I don't even know that person. Since we're strangers, why would I bring him up in front of your father? Your father is busy now. As his daughter, you should be more considerate. Why do you always bring up unrelated people to trouble him?" Karen responded sharply.
"Oh?" Rita raised an eyebrow. "If he's truly unrelated, then fine. But he's your ex-husband, isn't he? Isn't that relevant?"
Rita then glanced at Sadie, only to find her frozen in place.
"What are you doing? Have you gone mad?" Karen asked, rubbing her hand, visibly in pain.
Karen finally realized how impulsive her daughter was becoming. Every time the past was mentioned, she would explode like a firecracker. Rita, on the other hand, remained calm, even when her mother was being insulted to her face.

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...
