The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Adam frowned when he noticed that Lilin was no longer with him. "Where did Lilin go?"
Melinda snapped out of her senses and looked around, only to realize that their daughter was missing. "That can't be! Lilin was just behind me!"
Having confirmed that Lilin was missing, Adam's expression turned stern, and he swiftly ordered his subordinates, "What are you standing around for? Start searching for Lilin!" "Understood!" the subordinates replied in unison.
Just as they were about to split up and search for her, a young girl's voice called out, "Don't bother! I'm right here!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and spotted a grown-up Lilin in sportswear. With her hands in her trouser pockets, she walked toward them at a leisurely pace while chewing her bubble gum.
Melinda pulled her daughter hastily. "Where have you been? Please don't just wander off alone, especially since the airport is huge and you're not familiar with the place at all!" "I went to the bathroom," Lilin shrugged and replied
nonchalantly.
Adam came over and chided, "Why didn't you tell me or your mother? You should've at least told one of us that you were going to the bathroom. We thought you were lost!" 1 After chastising her, he glanced over to his subordinates and lambasted," You idiots! Didn't any of you notice that Lilin slipped away on her own?!"
The subordinates were intimidated by Adam's rebuke and lowered their heads in silence.
Lilin, however, glanced exasperatedly at her irritable father and retorted," Jeez, Dad, I didn't get lost, did I? Why are you lashing out at them?"
Adam's tone was noticeably gentler when speaking to his younger daughter.
"There's no use telling them off only after you get lost! Don't ever run off like that without telling US." "Okay, Dad," said Lilin nonchalantly. She did not seem to take her father's warning very seriously, however. She was peeved by the sight of Sophia throwing herself into Adam's arms, so she decided to distance herself from them for a while and keep Sophia out of sight.
She never liked her half-sister, Sophia, firstly because she believed that Sophia's character was questionable, and secondly because of Sophia's constant rudeness toward Melinda. Lilin decided to treat Sophia the same way that Melinda had been treated.
Lilin's safe return allowed Melinda to breathe a sigh of relief. She patted Lilin's shoulder gently and reminded, "You haven't said hi to Sophia yet! Go on!"
