Jeremy ordered Bowen to get him the spare key.
As soon as he walked into the room, he could smell the scent of body wash floating through the air.
'So she's taken her shower.'
As upset as he was about being locked out, all of his anger disappeared when he saw Corinne curled up sleeping on the bed.
She looked so cute with her face half buried in the pillow she was hugging. Any man would have found himself burning with desire if they saw her like that.
Jeremy's face softened without him being aware of it. He bent down and quietly took away the pillow she was hugging and put it aside. He then turned her face upward so she would not be sleeping on her side.
He looked down at her and realized her eyebrows were furrowed as though she was having a bad dream, so he gently smoothed them out. A few seconds later, he subconsciously leaned down to kiss her; he could not stand just how cute she was!
The kiss woke her up. Frowning, she muttered with annoyance, "Don't touch me, you dirty old man…"
Jeremy was a little taken aback. He straightened himself and looked into her eyes. "What did you say?"
Still frowning, she repeated brazenly, "I said, don't touch me, you dirty old man."
Jeremy's face instantly darkened when he realized Corinne was not joking.
"Corinne Carew, I must have been too easy on you for you to treat me however you want!"
Corinne turned over so she did not have to look at him. "You're right! Give me an inch and I'll take a mile! You should just stay away from me!"
Jeremy had never known to have a good temper, so his face immediately hardened when Corinne gave him the cold shoulder.
"Turn around and look at me," he ordered her through gritted teeth.
Finally, Jeremy could not hold back his anger anymore. He grabbed her wrist and spun her back forcefully before roughly lifting her chin so she had to look at him.
"Tell me what have I done to make you angry! I'm so sick of you giving me the silent treatment! Nothing ever gets solved if you don't talk to me!" he shouted angrily.
Corinne looked at him dully. "There's nothing for us to solve! I just want to sleep alone tonight, okay? There's no law that says a couple has to sleep in the same bed all the time!"
Jeremy's eyes widened even more. "Do you think I stopped you from going out because I'm angry at you not wanting to sleep in the same bed with me?"
Corinne chuckled wryly. "Why else? What else am I good for apart from satisfying your s*xual urges? Do you even love me?"
Jeremy could not believe she was actually asking him that.
"How can you even ask me that? Have I not proven myself enough? Why don't you just tell me why you're angry at me?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
