Lucas scoffed. "I shouldn't have let Corinne marry Jeremy!"
Jason patted Lucas' shoulder again. "Come now. You don't want to hurt your foot again, so just wait here patiently. I'll go look for Corinne on your behalf."
After that, he strolled out of the office nonchalantly.
Frowning, Lucas watched him as he left before sighing helplessly.
'I must make Corinne come back home once she's found so that she'll never have to suffer under Jeremy's rule again.'
…
Jeremy rushed back home as soon as his plane landed at midnight. He did not even bother to greet his grandparents before going upstairs to his room to look for clues.
Even though Corinne was nowhere to be seen, the bedroom was still filled with the lingering scent of her favorite shampoo.
Jeremy opened the wardrobe and noted she did not take any clothes with her at all.
'She left without saying goodbye again? But why?' He punched the wardrobe door.
The noise brought Francine—who had been awake all the while—to the room.
Seeing the anguish on Jeremy's face, Francine cautiously greeted, "Jeremy, you're back."
He turned toward Francine. "Did she say anything to you before she went missing?"
Surprised by the strange woman who suddenly appeared, Francine looked up and down at Sophia. 'Judging by the way she's dressed, she doesn't look like she's from around here.'
"Jeremy, who's this?" she asked warily.
Before Jeremy said anything, Sophia walked up to her with a smile and introduced herself brightly. "Hello. I'm Sophia. You must be Francine. Your brother has told me so much about you."
Francine frowned. "Are you close with Jeremy? What are you doing at our home?"
"Yeah, we're pretty close. We go way back."
Francine looked at her with alarm. 'If she's close with Jeremy, how come he has never mentioned her? Could she be the reason why Jeremy fought with Corinne a few nights ago?'

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...
