The Day I Kissed An Older Man

To Helen, family matters should not be aired in public. Even though Melody had indeed done a lot of wrong things over the years, spreading it online would bring disgrace to the family.
Helen originally did not pay attention to that news, but it was when Wendy mentioned Melody when she came back home last time that she thought of taking a look. She had not found the time to go to Melody's place to complete the task Wendy entrusted to her.
At that moment, Helen sat restlessly at home.
"I'm back," Wendy kicked her shoes haphazardly to the side as soon as she entered the house. She collapsed onto the couch, and Helen immediately approached, standing beside her with a look that indicated she had something to
say.
"Wendy, I happen to have something I want to ask you," Helen said.
Wendy rolled her eyes inwardly, but she maintained a neutral expression on her face. She shifted slightly, still lying on the couch, and did not bother to sit up to look at Helen.
"Just ask me whatever you want," she replied.
"It's about the thing you asked me to do last time. I've been busy these days and haven't gotten around to it yet. But I saw what you said online. Why did you make it such a big deal? Melody isn't the same Melody as before. It might not end well if this gets blown out of proportion! Didn't we agree before? We shouldn't air family matters outside. By doing this, how do you think others will view me and your dad in the future?"
Wendy's face showed impatience as she sat up straight and said, "Hey! What do you mean by that? What do you mean by me airing out family matters? I was just telling the truth! Besides, it's your daughter who's been misbehaving and getting criticized by social media users. I just mentioned one or two things she's done over the years. Isn't that a good thing?
"Helen, don't you want to see me get more opportunities too? I've regained some popularity after publishing that post, and many advertisers are approaching me now. I was dragged down by Melody before, bu by speaking the truth, I can increase my exposure. Shouldn't you be happy for me? Why are you blaming me instead?"
Wendy's gaze held a hint of skepticism, making Helen feel like her good intentions were being questioned. She quickly waved her hand.
"I didn't mean it that way. I just think that since it's a family matter, it's not good to let others know about it... I know Melody has done some wrong things before, but it's better if only a few of us know about it. Your dad doesn't even know about this yet. If he sees that news online later, I don't know how he'll react."
"Huh, are you trying to blame everything on me? If it wasn't for Melody causing trouble that affected me, why would I even say all those things? Dad won't blame me even if he sees it. He'll only feel sorry for me. We're both his daughters. Why should I be the one to suffer because of her? Just because I don't have a mom anymore?"
Wendy's words immediately made Helen raise her head. "Wendy... How could you say that? Over the years, I've treated you like my own. Sometimes, I even prioritize you over Melody. It really saddens me to see you act like this."
Helen felt both saddened and bewildered. She sat on the couch, wiping away her tears. She had been with Ethan for so many years, and she admitted that she had not been the best mother to Wendy, but she had never done anything wrong to Wendy.
