Aaron was telling the truth; he genuinely did not know where Corinne was hiding. To avoid Jeremy finding her, Corinne forbade them to call her on the phone she was using then.
Jeremy said nothing as Corinne's original phone was with him. Before he went to Molomia, he programmed the phone to only be able to receive calls from him and other emergency numbers.
He could sense Corinne was plotting her escape, which was why he dispatched more bodyguards to keep an eye on her. He thought that by keeping her under house arrest, he would have all the time in the world to solve the problems between them after he came back from Molomia. Thus, he was understandably shocked when he received news of Corinne's escape.
Jeremy did not mean to make life difficult for Aaron. Thus, after looking around once more to confirm Corinne was not in the area, he said coldly, "Call me the moment you have news of her."
Aaron wanted to curse at him but ultimately chose to cooperate with him to avoid suspicion. "Sure. You have my word."
Jeremy left after that.
Xante walked out of her room and happened to see Jeremy walking into the elevator. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously and said, "He looks like he's really panicking."
Aaron scoffed. "Of course he's panicking. What man wouldn't panic when the woman carrying his baby has gone missing?"
Xante shook her head. "No. I don't think it's the baby he's worrying about."
"So what? At the end of the day, he lied to the boss. It makes me sick to see him pretending to be worried when he's married to another woman abroad," said Aaron angrily.
"What if he has his reason for doing that?"
"Xante, wait!" called Aaron.
Xante turned back to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah?"
Aaron took out his phone and threw it toward Xante, who caught it without any trouble.
"What's this?"
Aaron smiled sinisterly. "Your little lover boy has been calling me nonstop to ask me where you are, so why don't you tell him yourself?"

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...
