The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Adam looked deeply into Sophia's eyes. "I don't need anyone to say anything to me for me to see how Zachary has treated you over the past three years. What I don't get is why you're bending backward to please him."

Sophia looked down and continued washing the vegetables. "Leave me alone, Dad. I know what I want, and I know what I'm doing."

"You're telling me to leave you alone?! Have you forgotten you wouldn't even be able to keep Zachary by your side if I didn't help you out back then? He would've left you a long time ago if he still had his memory! Sophia, it's time for you to face reality and find a man who really loves you!" said Adam frustratedly.

"That's enough!" Sophia threw the vegetables she was washing angrily down on the floor. "Just stop! Zachary and I are fine. I'm not going to leave him, nor am I going to let him leave me! You'll be kissing my cold dead body if you take him away from me!"

"Why you!" Adam was really at a loss on what to do with his stubborn daughter. No parent could ever remain calm when their children are threatening to take their own life.

He did consider letting Jeremy go back to Corinne after talking to Melinda and Lilin. After all, Corinne did save his wife, and he always abided by the sentiment that one must repay kindness where it was due. Unfortunately, his eldest daughter was his biggest obstacle at that moment. After thinking about it, he decided to give both of them some time to cool off.

"You're not calm right now, so I'm going to give you some time to think about what I just said. I'm leaving now. Enjoy your dinner," he said as he waved goodbye to her. He was afraid Sophia would pick up a kitchen knife and take her life if he pushed her too far.
