Rita would have never let her father blackmail Sherman if she had known he had a girlfriend. No matter how much she liked him, she would fight against it with everything she got. After all, she could not hurt the person she liked just because she wanted to be with him, could she?
"You're talking nonsense. When were you two ever together? You're just jealous because you saw us get married."
Claire, no longer in a rush, scoffed. "Huh! You can stop pretending now. It was so obvious Sherman and I were together until you ruthlessly stole him from me! Look into your heart—can you swear to me that you've really done nothing wrong?"
She then turned and put on a sad expression. "I'm sure you know Sherman is a very filial son. His family has pressured him several times to get married, so he must've hastily married you out of respect for his elders.
"But you should also know he promised to take me abroad for our wedding after the New Year. He'd never have married someone like you if it wasn't for his family. So can you please find it in your heart to let him go? I'll surely thank you properly after we get married. I beg you, please let him go."
She grabbed Rita's hand, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads falling to the floor.
Rita was momentarily startled by her tears. It felt like burning lava as they dripped onto her hand. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Claire's grip was strong, rendering her immobile.
Claire repeated, "You're lying to yourself and everybody else. Sherman didn't marry you."
Sherman's temper flared up immediately upon hearing her words.
Rita hugged her arms around herself, not understanding why his attitude suddenly changed. 'Wasn't he the one who didn't want to marry me in the first place?'

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...
