Rita smiled shyly. She had expected Sherman's grandparents and parents to be difficult people, yet they turned out to be so kind and amiable. She felt even more humiliated at the thought. The difference between them and her father was like night and day.
Sherman stepped forward, placed his hand on Rita's shoulder, and guided her inside. "Alright, I already said not to wait at the door. Grandpa and Grandma are getting older. What if they catch a cold from the draft?"
Chelsea, Sherman's grandmother, waved it off. "I'm perfectly healthy. Rita, come sit next to me."
Rita's seat was supposed to be next to Sherman's, but since Chelsea had spoken, she had no choice but to change her seat.
Sherman was a bit reluctant. It was Rita's first time visiting, and having her sit next to his grandmother might make her feel uncomfortable.
The old lady fixed him with a stare. "What's the matter? Afraid I'd eat your wife?"
Rita turned to Sherman and subtly shook her head. "Grandma, I'm sure he doesn't think that way. I'd be honored to sit next to you. Here, let me escort you to your seat."
Rita smoothly took Chelsea's hand from Simona, pulled out the chair for the old lady, and helped her to sit before sitting next to her. As she spoke, Rita cast a natural glance at Sherman, as if they were so in love that they could not help but gaze at each other.
After saying goodbye and getting into the car, Rita finally sighed in relief, though her brow remained slightly furrowed.
Mulling over that day's events, she finally said, "Sherman, why don't we just be honest with your family about everything? They've been so kind to me, and I feel really guilty about it."
Sherman coldly refuted, "Will they be happy if you tell them now?"

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...
