Rita never knew that she had become such a troublemaker in her father's eyes. "Fine. If you say I'm in the wrong, then please enlighten us on what exactly I've done to offend you, and why that somehow made you decide to put on this act in front of my father," Rita retorted. She leaned back in her chair and smirked at Sadie.
Sadie frantically waved. "I'm not accusing you of anything! This is just a misunderstanding on Dad's part." She turned to Vince and tried explaining, "Rita didn't do anything. It's all my fault! I was just upset when I woke up. It has nothing to do with Rita. Don't take all this the wrong way. I miss Rita a lot now that she doesn't come back often."
Rita's smirk only fueled Vince's anger. "Unbelievable! Show some respect, Rita. Now that I've seen you threaten Sadie right before my eyes without even the slightest hesitation, I can't imagine what you've done to her when I'm not around. Apologize to Sadie right now, and promise me you'll never behave this way again."
Vince had no idea what Rita had done, but her demeanor stoked his anger so severely that he felt the need to demand that Rita apologize to Sadie.
Sadie lowered her head and cried as she tried to dissuade Vince, but Rita could spot the smug little grin on Sadie's lips from across the table. "I don't mind apologizing, but I need to know what it is I'm apologizing for. Why don't you tell me what it is I've done, Sadie? Or perhaps you haven't figured out what lies you were planning to tell them to make me look bad?"
"You're crossing the line!" Vince slammed his fist on the table in frustration.
"Tell that to yourself!" Rita flung her utensils aside, stunning everyone present. No one had expected her to have the audacity to throw cutlery in front of her father!

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...
