"I need to know, even if I can't accept the answer!"
The doctor, who was growing irked, beside them kept urging, "Sir, please give her an answer. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to treat her wound. The bleeding hasn't stopped yet. We can't joke around with a person's life like this."
Sherman looked at Claire, tears welling up in her eyes, and finally nodded.
"I know you have your reasons for all the choices you've made. It's been so long, and I've forgiven you a long time ago."
However, Claire did not feel relieved at his answer. Instead, her heart broke even more. She would rather he got angry at her. At least then it would mean he still had not let her go.
Realization dawned on Claire that Sherman had moved on from their relationship. Her heart grew colder, and she stopped struggling. Seizing the opportunity, the doctor and nurse pushed her into the room for further treatment.
Outside the room, Sherman sat alone on a chair, looking at the blood on his hands. He sighed heavily.
'She wouldn't have gone to New Capital Times to kick up a fuss if I had made it clear to her earlier,' he thought with a frown.
He wondered how efficient Rita's superior was at handling public opinion. He just hoped it would not affect Rita's work. It would be best if none of her colleagues brought up the matter again.
With these thoughts in mind, he planned to visit her company after Claire's wound was stitched up.
However, Rita arrived less than 15 minutes later, to Sherman's surprise. She hurriedly walked up to him, looking completely unlike her usual composed self.
After exchanging a glance, Rita managed to calm her breathing before asking, "How long has Miss Claire been in there? Did the doctor say how much longer the stitching will take?"
After everything her family had done to Sherman, she still dared to ask him if he liked her. Only someone with an immense amount of narcissism could ask such a question.
In the end, Rita chose to ask another question.
"Do… Do you like Miss Claire?"
"I've already said it, our relationship is in the past. Did you not hear what I just said?"

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...
