Corinne never met a guy as crazy as Jason!
She looked at him with disapproval and said, "You can forget about the whole thing. I don't plan to have a second child, nor do I plan to find a stepfather for my kid."
Jason pretended to be hurt. "But Corinne, I took a big risk to help you escape from the Holdens. Also, you promised to date me for a month in return for helping you."
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise. But, dating and marriage are different things, so you better give up the idea of us going any further than a date. I'm already too tired to give marriage another try."
Jason gazed deeply into her eyes before reaching out to touch her, but his hand froze when he saw Corinne shrink back. He put down his hand and smiled to hide his embarrassment.
"Don't worry. I know you're still feeling hurt over what Jeremy did to you, so I'm willing to give you some time. I trust that one day, you'll accept my feelings for you."
At that moment, Corinne was not in a headspace to think about all that stuff. "Thank you for your help today. I'll take your advice to stay here for a few days. You can go back to work now."
Jason smiled forlornly. "Corinne, you really know how to kick a person away after using them."
Corinne chuckled wryly and said, "Oh, I'm not done using you at all."
Jason was speechless.
"By the way, don't tell Lucas about this," added Corinne as an afterthought.
Jason nodded solemnly. "I know. But he'll definitely be worried about you."
Corinne fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "I don't care whether he's worried or not. The less people know that I'm here, the better my chances of escaping from this city."
Greg was watering his prized orchid when he heard a commotion coming from outside.
Not a minute later, a bodyguard wheeled Pamela in in a wheelchair. Francine, who was carrying Joey, anxiously followed from behind.
Seeing this, the servants quickly went to take care of them.
Greg frowned. "What's going on? You were fine when you went out this morning, so how did you end up in a wheelchair like me?"
Francine handed Joey, who had tired himself out from crying, over to the maid. After that, she walked up to Greg to explain, "Grandpa, Corinne went missing and Grandma fainted out of shock. But don't worry. We sent her to the hospital right after, and the doctor said she'll be fine after some rest."
Greg's eyes widened in anger. "What? Corinne is missing? How is that even possible? How could a grown woman like her go missing?"

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...
