Jeremy scoffed again. "We've already ordered for ourselves. You two can order something else if you want."
"Oh, you've ordered? That's great," said Marcus with a sincere smile. "I'll just order a few of Annie's favorite dishes, then."
Annie fell into deep thought, which made her look like she was in a trance while Marcus called over the waiter to order a few more dishes.
'Uncle Jeremy and Corinne stopped talking after Marcus and I came,' thought Annie. Jeremy's tense expression was as though someone owed him a lot of money. Meanwhile, Corinne was looking out of the restaurant's window absent-mindedly.
'No, this won't do! They're going to break up at this rate! A man should be the first to apologize for this kind of problem to be solved.'
Annie did no doubt Jeremy's holier-than-thou attitude would push Corinne further away.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind. 'If I can't persuade Uncle Jeremy, someone else can!'
She quickly texted Francine to tell her Corinne had come back.
…
Meanwhile, at the Holdens' mansion.
Francine did not have class in the afternoon. She just took a shower after getting back from school when she saw Annie's text, stating Corinne had returned. Annie even sent her a photo, which she had taken secretly, of Corinne and Jeremy sitting across each other. They were both clearly displeased.

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...
