"Who do you think you're fooling with your fake concern? Is that how you've managed to trick Sherman into marrying you? Well, let me warn you: he might not see through it, but I certainly do. So stop pretending in front of me. You're just jealous of me, aren't you? I've known him for so long, but what about you? Just a few months, and you think you know him? You're not even worthy of being with him!"
Sherman quickly intervened with a stern frown, "Claire, she's my wife. I won't allow you to speak to her like that."
Claire's tears started flowing. "You've never scolded me before, but now you're scolding me for this woman? Oh, my head hurts. Doctor... Please call the doctor!"
Seeing Claire in distress, Rita panicked. "Sherman, she..."
"Quick, go get the doctor. Don't panic."
Rita rang the bell and rushed out to call the doctor. The nurse arrived promptly, checked Claire's wound, which was not bleeding, and scolded them both, "The patient needs rest. Her emotions must be kept stable, so even if you have urgent matters, you should wait until her condition has stabilized before discussing them with her. We have other patients to attend to, and we can't put all of our attention on caring for her."
Rita kept apologizing profusely, "Sorry, we didn't mean to upset her. We won't do it again. Please, go ahead and attend to your other tasks."
Claire fell silent. She only pretended to feel dizzy earlier to manipulate Rita and Sherman, and after the scolding, she did not utter a word. Admitting that they were married was still difficult for her.
Sherman sighed inwardly, thinking Rita was still as soft-hearted as ever. "We'll wait here until her agent arrives, and then we'll leave. We can rush back inside if anything happens to her."
Rita smiled and nodded. "Good idea! That way, she won't see us and get angry, which will be good for recovery."
Once they were seated, the atmosphere between them improved significantly. Rita tentatively felt the urge to ask him the question that had been on her mind.
"Sherman…"

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...
