It was not an employee who walked it. It was Sunny!
Sunny's reaction at seeing Corinne was even grander than hers. "My god, Corinne, you look like a blimp!"
Corinne was speechless. 'Guess he's still the same thoughtless boy six months ago.'
Sunny walked up to her to take a closer look. "But you still look cute."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have class today?"
Sunny shrugged and said haughtily, "I did go to class, but it's lunch break now. I heard Xante is going to pick you up today, so I came to see you."
Corinne placed her cup on the table. She then looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Does your family know about you and Xante?"
Sunny scratched his head awkwardly. "Uh… Lucas knows about it, but not the others. It's not that I don't want to tell my parents, but Xante wouldn't let me. She said she's not ready to meet the parents yet."
Corinne looked at his immature face and instantly worried about leaving Xante with him. "What are you going to do if your family doesn't approve of you two being together?"
Sunny crossed his legs and thought about it. "I'll keep persuading them until they accept her."
"And what if after all the persuading they still don't approve?"
"Well, that's simple! I'll just run away from home and move in with Xante. I don't mind taking up her surname. It's not like she doesn't have the money to take care of me."
Normally, Xante would just ignore Sunny whenever he said something childish like that. However, her boss was there, so she could not help but feel embarrassed.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "There's still the risk of your legs never healing even with all the best medical care. That means you'll become a cripple. Do you think I'll care about you then?"
"Yes!" answered Sunny without hesitation.
Xante scoffed. "You think too highly of me. I'll never sacrifice myself for someone else."
Sunny frowned unhappily. "Xante, I know you don't mean that and will take care of me if I really end up as a cripple."

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...
