The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2581

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll stop hanging out with the troublemakers at school. I'll also study hard and finish all the review materials that Claudia got for me. Please don't be angry at me anymore." It was the first time Thalia had bowed to Henry. Previously, no matter how stubborn or how much trouble she caused, she always came home with her head held high, refusing to apologize. She always felt the only reason Henry forced her to apologize was because Claudia was present. She was sure that Henry would be reluctant to scold Claudia if she were the one who made a mistake, but just because it was her, he would not hesitate.

Henry did not know what his youngest daughter had been through, but after spending the afternoon away, she suddenly became more sensible upon her return, which made him somewhat skeptical. However, in the face of her apology, he had to encourage and comfort her.

"Alright, I'm glad to hear you say that. Looks like all our efforts of disciplining you haven't been in vain. As for what happened this afternoon, I've thought about it, and I have to admit I was too impulsive. No matter how serious your mistake is, I shouldn't have hit you." He sighed. "It's all because I didn't manage to save your mother back then. If your mother were still here, maybe you wouldn't have turned out so rebellious." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

His words saddened both Claudia and Thalia. Claudia even rushed up and hugged him. "Dad, please don't say that. You haven't done anything wrong. In fact, you chose not to remarry so that you could take good care of us. Both of us know that and appreciate all of your hard work."

Thalia hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and hugged her father. She did not know how to say comforting words as her sister did, but her gesture alone touched Henry deeply He was willing to continue to guide her as long as she was willing to change and did not remain as unruly as before. He did not want all those years of effort to go to waste.

Little did anyone know that a seed of love had been planted inside Thalia's heart, where Lucas' words had also been deeply engraved. She could not help but smile sweetly whenever she thought of him saying those comforting words with such a cold expression.

'Maybe it was love at first sight for him, too. Otherwise, who would approach a stranger and impart so much wisdom?'

At the thought of that, Thalia blushed and covered her face shyly, but the fantasy was undeniably sweet.

Claudia did not know what had happened to her sister, but everyone could see the changes in her. Not only did Thalia spend more time studying, but she also started asking Claudia to help her with her studies This made Claudia feel incredibly honored and surprised.

After all, Thalia had always behaved

disdainfully toward Claudia in the

past. Whenever Thalia went to Claudia asking for help with something she did not understand, she always had this expression of being insulted as if asking for help was the most detestable thing.

Needless to say, the changes in Thalia were a good thing for the whole family, and Claudia was happy to see her sister doing better and better. That was, of course, until Thalia saw a video of Claudia's school rehearsing for a choir competition on her phone.

"Your school values choir competitions like this? Aren't you afraid it will affect your studies?" Thalia's tone was somewhat salty but deep down, she knew that the better the school, the more they encouraged a balance between studying and extracurricular activities.
