Corinne sipped her lemon water. "Should you take responsibility for yourself if your curiosity keeps you up at night? Don't you think it's weird for you to insist I take responsibility for that when I just met you today?"
Sophia shrugged her shoulders and opened her palms. "Okay, okay. I won't ask more if you're that reluctant to talk about the past. Eat up, then!"
Corinne's cell phone then vibrated. She glanced at the screen and saw that Jason had sent another message. [I'm here.]
She placed the glass of lemon water down and grabbed her things. "I'm full. My friend is here, so I'll excuse myself and leave you two to enjoy the rest of the meal. Goodbye."
Jeremy remained expressionless. He pushed the phone in front of her and said, "Could you leave your contact information with me?"
Corinne looked at the QR code on his cell phone screen and said, "Don't you have my email? You may contact me through email if you have anything to ask. I prefer that to other modes of communication."
Corinne then turned around to leave.
Sophia looked at Moon's retreating figure and said, "Do you think Moon might be..."
Jeremy silently got up and followed her out.
Corinne walked out of the restaurant. She got into a white Bugatti, and the car drove away slowly. Jeremy saw it all as he watched everything through the glass door of the restaurant.
Inside the car, Corinne grabbed the seat belt with her hands and let out a long sigh.
Jason was driving at moderate speed, but the way Corinne grabbed the seat belt made him a little worried. "What's wrong? Are you nauseous?"
Corinne shook her head. "I'm fine."
Jason raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? You don't look like you don't feel anything."
"If feelings are what you're asking," Corinne said, "then I guess all I feel right now is disgust."
Jason smiled. "That's good to hear. I was worried you wouldn't want me anymore after meeting him!"
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "When have I wanted you anyway? Don't just make assumptions!"
Jason shrugged. "You're right, you're right. I shouldn't assume things. Well, it's not often that we get to go out. Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go? How about I drive you around?"
Corinne waved her hand. "No thanks. I'm not in the mood to go anywhere. Just bring me home. I'm tired, and I want to go back to sleep."

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...
