The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Dad, I'm clueless about the drama in the entertainment industry. Whoever Wendy may have offended, that's her own business! It has nothing to do with me."
Ethan never expected Melody to be so rebellious. "How dare you speak to your father like this! If you didn't want to help Wendy in the first place, why did you agree to go on a date with Mister William? I've had enough of this. Tomorrow, you're coming with us to visit Mister William. You better help Wendy clear up whatever misunderstanding happened that day!"
Melody felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. It was a matter so easy to understand, yet no matter how she explained it, Ethan and Helen would always blindly believe Wendy.
From Ethan's tone, she could tell that Wendy wrangled herself out of blame by twisting the events of that day again.
Melody took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. She felt it was time to make a decisive break.
When Melody opened her eyes again, her gaze was remarkably firm. "Dad, Wendy's issues are hers to deal with. I never promised to go on a date with Mister William for her sake, so I won't be doing any explaining for her."
Without giving Ethan to say anything, she immediately hung up on him.
It was the first time she stood up to her father so bravely. Perhaps it was the assurance that she did not have to worry about being kicked out and finding a place to stay that gave her the confidence.
After that, she continued to organize her things. She had not moved much into the guest room before. After all, she knew that she would have to move back to Lucas' room once Cedric and Beatrice were discharged. Thus, there was not much for her to rearrange.
However, before she could finish organizing, Helen called again. Melody felt a headache when she saw the caller ID. She could tell that her family was really panicking.
She really got to hand it to them for their persistence. After all, it had not even been five minutes since she hung up on her father.
"Mom, if you're trying to push me into meeting Mister William with you guys, you can save your breath. I'm not going!" said Melody as soon as she answered the call. She certainly did not beat around the bush. Helen initially called Melody to lecture her. However, she changed her mind when she remembered the purpose of the call.
"Melody, I know I haven't been fair to you, and I overlook you sometimes..." said Helen in a softer tone.
Melody was taken aback by her unexpected admission, and her tone similarly softened in response. "Mom, what... What do you mean by that?"
"I understand that I've been taking care of Wendy more, and sometimes, it might've been tough on you. But... Melody, I had no other choice," Helen explained.

"Your dad married me because I was a pushover and could take care of Wendy. If I fail to do that, he'll surely divorce me. Melody, he hasn't said a word to me in the past few days. I'm afraid if things continue like this, he might actually go through with the divorce," said Helen tearfully. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest
