"Okay, then," said Jason. "You can take off your mask in the car. You don't need to wear it anymore."
Corinne closed her eyes as she rested. She was too lazy to move, so she said to him, "I'll take it off after we're back."
Jason could see how tired she was, so he kept quiet and drove faster until they reached the expressway.
Two hours later, they finally arrived at the villa.
Corinne was sleeping throughout the journey, but she did not feel comfortable at all. She had a bad dream where Jeremy would not let her leave and insisted on taking her baby away.
In the end, Jason woke her up.
When she opened her eyes and saw Jason's face very close to hers, she instinctively pushed him away and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jason smiled innocently. "We're home. You didn't respond when I called you several times, so I decided to come closer and call you again."
Corinne sat up straight and looked out the car window.
They had arrived. She had been living there for the past six months, but she did not consider that home. She simply regarded it as temporary lodging.
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to send me back. I'll head in now. You should go back before it's dark," said Corinne politely in a somewhat distant manner.
Jason frowned. "You can be serious, right? Driving for over two hours is pretty tiring, you know. Aren't you going to let me rest a bit before I make the trip back?"
Corinne did not want him to go in, but she knew that such long-distance driving was undoubtedly very tiring. In the end, she agreed and said, "Fine. You may come in and have a rest. I'm just worried that it'll be dangerous for you to drive such a long way back once it gets dark later."
Jason was amused. "Makes sense. Anyway, you should take off the fake face! We’re already back, and you don't need to worry that someone else might see you. It looks weird!"
Corinne had forgotten that she was still wearing a fake face and immediately took it off. The material was soft enough to feel like real skin, and her face was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Jason handed her two tissues. "You don't need to meet Jeremy anymore after today. Once you've given birth to your baby, I'll find a way to change your identity and send you abroad without the Holdens' knowledge."
Corinne looked at him gratefully. "Thank you. If you need my help in the future, I promise I'll do my best to help you."
Jason pursed his lips and said pointedly, "You don't need to thank me all the time. I'm only doing it out of pure selfishness."
'Selfishness?' Corinne was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean?"

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...
