Experience counted for a lot, thus Rita failed to outsmart her own father. Sherman's expression remained indifferent as he tapped twice on the table, silencing Rita.
"Enough, I don't have time to waste with you two. Rita, I'll marry you since my family has agreed to it. You just need to stay put at home and wait for me to marry you. As for anything else, well… You can just forget about it," said Sherman.
Rita looked at him with a mournful expression as he rose to leave, even pleading silently for him to stay. Alas, how could Sherman still trust her after being played by her and her father repeatedly?
Vince, on the other hand, looked pleased as if his wish had finally been fulfilled.
"Ah, you two are so perfect for each other. Don't blame me for using unconventional methods. You two wouldn't have ended up together if I hadn't intervened decisively. Moreover, Rita has feelings for you. As for the wedding and other things, they're not important!"
Rita did not lift her head to look at Sherman anymore. She kept her head bowed, trying to hide all her pain. How could she ever hold her head high in front of him when she had such a disgraceful father? Even if he was willing to believe she did not tell her father about the meeting time and location, she did not want to explain anymore.
Ultimately, she felt guilty toward Sherman. He would not have been forced to experience all this if he had not met her or her family.
Vince rambled on. All he cared about was providing a good life for his unborn son!
"Why are you so hung up about what means I'm using? You like that boy, don't 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...
