Rita took a deep breath. It seemed that Karen had come prepared, and Rita wondered what surprises Sadie had in store for her upstairs. Nevertheless, since she was there, she had to make the best of it. At least that was what she told herself.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Sadie, Dad wants you to come downstairs for lunch. Your mother is hungry," Rita called out.
Sadie became visibly irritated upon hearing Rita's voice. "Alright, got it. You can go downstairs now."
Rita did not care whether Sadie actually came down. After receiving a response, she immediately headed downstairs.
Karen looked surprised to see Rita entering the dining room alone. "Rita, I asked you to call Sadie. Why hasn't she come down yet?"
"I did call her, and she asked me to come down first, so I did."
"Oh... Is that so?" Karen continued to glance upstairs, but there was no sign of movement. Even Rita took a quick look.
"Are you sure you called Sadie? Why isn't she coming down yet?" asked Vince.
Rita was speechless. "Dad, what are you talking about? If I were lazy, I wouldn't have climbed up these stairs in the first place. I did call her, and if she hasn't come down, that's her problem. Why are you blaming me?"
Vince slammed down his bowl onto the table. "Your temper is getting worse. Do you think you're someone special just because you married into the Parr family? I was just asking you a question, yet you retorted me with three. Is this the attitude you should have toward your elders?"
Rita gripped the bowl tightly but remained silent.

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...
