The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Xante smiled and silently sat on the chair Sunny brought her. What else could she say? She did not even know why Sunny insisted on her visiting Maxwell.
The awkward silence was broken after Sunny sat on the other chair he brought
over.
"Dad! Guess what we did just now!"
Maxwell smiled and shook his head. "I don't know. What did you do?"
Sunny smiled proudly and answered, "We had lunch with Corinne!"
Maxwell was taken aback before an envious expression overtook him. "Really? What did you guys have? Did she like it?"
"We had Japanese. It was okay."
There was nothing but tenderness in Maxwell's eyes when he asked, "What does she usually like to eat? Does she still have a sweet tooth like she did when she was little?"
He was looking at Xante when he asked those questions. After all, Sunny told him Xante was a very close friend of Corinne and that they went way back.
Xante shook her head. "We were poor when we were little. We didn't have money to buy sweet stuff, so she slowly came to dislike sweet stuff."
Maxwell felt a pang in his heart when he heard Corinne was so poor that she did not even get to eat any sweet stuff when she was little. He sighed and said, "This is all my fault..."
Xante said nothing else. Even though she could do small talk, it did not mean she could say something that went against her conscience. After all, it was all Maxwell's fault for being a sh*tty father.
Seeing that Maxwell was getting sad again, Sunny quickly changed the topic. "Dad! You seem much better after taking your medicine and IV drip. Should Xante and I take you out to the garden for a walk?" "It's getting dark outside. Your dad won't be able to see anything," commented Xante.
"It's okay. I've been cooped up here for so long, so a walk will be nice," said Maxwell with a kind smile.
Since both were in agreement, Xante offered no more comment. She was an outsider after all, so why should she care?
Thus, Sunny went excitedly to request a wheelchair from the head nurse.
"Look, I don't need a wheelchair, Sunny. My legs are perfectly fine! I can walk just like you guys," said Maxwell helplessly.
"But you're still a patient. You'll be able to recover faster if you save your energy," insisted Sunny.

The three of them went out of the ward, but on their way to the elevator, Sunny suddenly whispered to Xante "Hey, thanks for hot saying anything about my dad being a sh*tty father just now." Xante was taken aback. She threw him an annoyed glance and whispered back, "I only did it out of politeness." Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Sunny grinned and said, "Regardless, I appreciate it."
Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and ignored him.

At that moment, several nurses were wheeling a woman on her hospital bed along the corridor. The woman was hooked up to an IV drip, but they could not see her face as it was
lowered. Xante made a cursory glance and thought nothing of it, but her face changed when she saw Melinda and Lilin following the
hospital bed. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this

'Aren't they Adam's wife and daughter? What are they doing here?' she
wondered.
Ding!
"Hello, earth to Xante! The elevator's here. Let's go."
