Sophia put her hand on the balcony railing and fluttered her eyelashes at Jeremy. "I'm just saying 'if'! I mean, would you take another woman as your wife if you can't find Miss Corinne?"
"There's no 'if' in this matter."
Sophia pouted. "What a spoilsport! There's no harm in imagining a different scenario."
Jeremy glanced at her. "Just what are you trying to say here?"
Sophia beamed at him. "What I'm trying to say is… If you can't find Miss Corinne, I'll be willing to live with you as a partner. I mean, we're already legally married abroad, so that makes us husband and wife too, right?"
Indeed, they had gotten legally married abroad. Back then, Greg refused to undergo a life-saving surgery unless Jeremy got married. Thus, to appease his grandfather, he decided to find a woman to go through a fake marriage with him.
He chose Sophia because they had known each other for a long time, and there was no drama between them so he asked her to help him. After they got legally married abroad, Jeremy took the marriage certificate back to New Capital City to show Greg.
Jeremy thought Sophia would readily agree to the 'divorce', but she refused to cooperate with him unless she was given some sort of compensation. She said her prospect of finding another partner in the future had been greatly diminished since she would have to carry the stigma of being a divorcee.
Jeremy knew that, so he agreed to compensate her. The tricky part was that Sophia did not want compensation in the form of money. What she really wanted was for him to stay with her in Molomia for a month, then she would agree to the divorce.
Since he happened to have a new project in Molomia that required him to personally oversee the kickoff, he agreed to stay with her. However, things obviously did not go according to his plan.

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...
