The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melinda knew her husband's character well, and convincing him to apologize would be an uphill battle. Nonetheless, she was determined to give it her best shot.
"You of all people should be aware that Sophia has been in the wrong for
kidnapping Jeremy. He had a family, which Sophia destroyed by separating him from them. Whichever way you put it, our family owes them an apology.
Apologizing to them is the least that we should do."
Adam maintained a stern expression. "Let him settle scores with me if he wants. To hell if I'll apologize!"
Melinda felt powerless, "What else am I supposed to say to convince you? Must you make both sides suffer? Em and I are best friends. You're putting me in a tight spot if you insist on your stubborn ways!" Adam remained silent as he was unable to let go of his ego.
Lilin, who had been standing quietly to one side, approached them and made a clown face at her father. "Blah, blah, blah!"
Adam was bewildered by her reaction and looked at her unhappily. "Are you mocking me?"
Lilin crossed her little arms and shook her head. "I'm not mocking you. I'm looking down on you!"
"How dare you?!" Adam frowned even more. "What did you say to me? How dare you look down on me?"
Lilin raised her chin. "I have every right to feel that way when you're a party to Sophia's wrongdoing! I despise you for refusing to lower your ego and refusing to correct your mistakes by apologizing to those you've harmed! You've always told me to be a good person, but you don't even follow your advice! Don't you think I should look down on you for that?"
Adam's face turned sour, and he was left speechless.
Lilin then added, "I've admired you in many ways, Dad, but I can't respect you when you defend Sophia and lend her your blind support. To be honest, you could even say that I feel some hate toward you! If you don't apologize to Corinne and Zachary for your wrongdoings, I won't ever talk to you from now on! I won't accept having a father who refuses to pay attention to me and cares more about a daughter who's proven to be a bad person time and time again!"
Following that bold statement, Lilin turned and headed for her room.
Adam felt a deep sense of shame that shattered his once resolute heart. He halted her, "Stop!"
Lilin stopped and gruffly replied, "What? Are you going to instill your misguided views in me again?"
"Stay here and wait for me with your mother," Adam said after taking a deep breath. "I'll change into a new set of clothes and go with you."
Lilin and Melinda looked at Adam in surprise.
