Vince then reflected pensively. "That's good. I hope you don't let me catch wind of you contacting anyone you shouldn't have. You know how much resolve it took for me to bring you out of that place, and you've also promised me you'd never look back to your past. I can safely say that I've fulfilled all my responsibilities to both of you over the years, and I've been able to give you whatever you wanted. I don't want any of you dredging up the past, and that goes for Rita too."
He then turned to Rita and said, "Just because you're my daughter doesn't mean you can act however you want. You haven't even apologized for what happened earlier. Who taught you to throw your cutlery like that? You used to be so well-behaved at home, but your attitude changed completely as soon as you married the Parrs. How do you expect to set a good example for your sister?"
"Are you getting senile? When did I have a sister? You're not seriously going to tell me that you're raising someone else's daughter as your own, right? Am I supposed to take care of her in the future too? You can't expect me to take care of her and the baby that's on the way."
"Hic... Hic… I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry! I shouldn't have upset you by wasting your time upstairs. Please don't threaten Dad anymore! I'm happy enough with things as they are! I wouldn’t expect any sort of extra care from you in the future. And I promise I won't get involved with the Parrs. They're your in-laws, and the last thing I want is to embarrass ourselves in front of him."
"What are you talking about? What do you mean, you won't get involved with them? Aren't Rita's in-laws a part of our family too?"
"Rita warned me not to have anything to do with her husband. Otherwise, the Parrs would look down on us and make things difficult for her. I'm aware of the situation, and I'll keep my distance from them in the future."

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...
