Up until a second ago, Corinne was still holding out hope that Jeremy would come clean with her, but her hope was dashed when she saw him acting self-righteously. She looked at him with a straight face and wondered what she ever saw in him.
"The very fact that you exist makes me angry. I don't want to see you right now!" she said coldly.
Jeremy's eyes turned icy cold. "You don't want to see me? Do you hate me that much?"
"Yes! I hate you very, very much!" she said with great disdain. "Mister Jeremy, I admit it was wrong for me to kiss you just because I want to get away from my blind date, but I've already paid back for my mistake so I don't owe you anything anymore. I know you're interested in me because you thought I was playing hard to get, but I'm not going to stand here and let you play with my feelings anymore!"
Jeremy frowned and looked at her sharply. "Play with your feelings? You think I'm not serious about you? Is that what this is all about?"
Corinne chuckled wryly. "Well, isn't that it? You look like you're having fun, but it's time to end this!"
She pushed him away and walked away without looking back at him.
Jeremy pulled her back again. "You're not going anywhere! I'll leave the room," he said as he let go of her wrist.
After that, he strode angrily out of the room and closed the door with a loud bang.
The sound startled Corinne, but she then looked down forlornly. The heater was on, yet she felt so unbelievably cold.
Pamela must have been woken up by the sound of their fighting as a few seconds later, she knocked on her door.
"Corinne? Are you in there? Is everything alright?"
Pamela patted the back of Corinne's hand. "Okay. You should get some sleep too. I hope you won't stay mad at Jeremy 'cause that brat isn't really worth it. You have my word that I'm going to give him a good scolding first thing tomorrow morning!"
Corinne nodded. After making sure Pamela got back to her room, she was about to close the food when Francine came out from the corner with Joey in tow.
"Corinne, wait! Don't close the door yet!"
Corinne stopped what she was doing and looked at Francine indifferently.
Francine walked over with Joey.
"I heard everything just now. Why did you lie to Grandma?" she asked with a frown. "Why did you tell her it was only a little lovers' tiff when it sounded more like your guys were on the verge of divorcing each other?"

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...
