Phoebe was shocked. "Dad, you… You want us to live in the countryside?"
"Yes! Go pack your bags now, and I'll get someone to drive you two there," grunted Cedric unwaveringly.
Phoebe could not accept his decision. She collapsed to the floor in a broken heap. "Why are you treating me like this, Dad? Are you really going to kick me and Anya out of the house because of Corinne?!"
Cedric glanced at her with annoyance. "You're a really bad influence on the kids. Anya is already a lost cause, but there's still hope for Sunny. I'm sending you to the countryside to prevent Sunny from turning out like you!"
Phoebe started to sob hysterically. "Dad, you can't treat me like this! I'm still Maxwell's wife and your daughter-in-law! How can you kick me out to the countryside? I'll be the laughingstock within our social circles if word gets out about this."
Cedric had made up his mind and would not be moved by anything.
Beatrice agreed with the arrangement. Anya was in too deep with her mother to be saveable, but Sunny was still at a moldable age. Thus, Cedric and Beatrice would do anything to save him from turning out like his mother.
Seeing her tactics were not working on Cedric, Phoebe walked on her knees to Maxwell, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa. She then threw herself on his knees, pleading, "Maxwell, why aren't you saying anything? Are you going to just watch Dad kick me and Anya out to the countryside?"
Maxwell looked at her coldly. "Are you going to admit what you did?" he asked emotionlessly.
Tears streaked down Phoebe's cheek while her eyes flashed unnaturally. "Maxwell, you got to believe me when I say Anya and I did nothing of that sort! How can you choose an outsider's words over mine?"

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...
