"You can do that again. You're only possessive of me because we've known each other for so long, and your feelings have turned twisted."
Claire suddenly became agitated. "You don't know me at all, so don't tell me what my feelings are for you! I like you, I love you! When I chose someone else back then, I had my reasons. If I could've stayed, I would've stayed. Don't forget, it was me who fell for you first. No matter what, I'm willing to love you more. You can't deny that.
"Life played a cruel joke on me. Every time I wanted to choose, it made me lose something as important as you. But when I finally realized my mistake, you chose another woman. Sherman, can't you give me another chance? Or did you marry Rita just to spite me? You two barely know each other. How could you spend your life with her?"
Claire cried uncontrollably, wetting Sherman's chest with her tears.
It was heart-wrenching for Sherman to see her like that. He could not help but urge Rita, "Did you call the ambulance?"
Rita nodded earnestly. "I just called, but they'll take some time to get here. Has Claire's bleeding stopped?"
"You don't need to pretend to be sympathetic, Rita. Whether my bleeding stops or not has nothing to do with you! You probably wish I'd die here so you wouldn't have to compete with anyone for Sherman's love."
"Miss Claire, why would you think like that? We have no grudge with each other…"
"Huh, no grudge? You stole my man. How is that no grudge?"
Rita frowned. Even though Claire was injured, she felt the need to defend herself. "I never wanted to compete with you for him. But if you two weren't together from the start, why couldn't I marry him? Claire, you need to figure out whether your feelings for him are love or possessiveness."
"Why you!" Claire struggled to sit up, but Sherman pressed her back down.
"Are you crazy? You're still bleeding."
Before leaving, Sherman exchanged a glance with Rita's supervisor.
"Don't worry, Mister Sherman. You have my word that what happened today won't get leaked."
He seemed impatient. "Aren't you afraid that by causing such a scene, our newspaper is going to be in tomorrow's headlines?"

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...
