Pamela nodded and smiled. "Thank you. That's very thoughtful of you. But why don't you leave the pastries here first? I'll have them when I come back. Sorry for not keeping you, but I have to attend to a family matter. But please do come again another day! I'll cook lunch for you then."
Sophia smiled demurely. "It's okay, Grandma. There's no need to feel bad about it. By the way, are you going out? Shall I give you a ride?"
"No, it's fine. We won't want to take up any more of your time, so we'll ask the family driver to give us a ride. After all, that's what we pay them to do."
"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm completely free this afternoon," said Sophia warmly.
Francine always hated Sophia. It annoyed her that Sophia came every two or three days to spend time with Pamela and Greg. She was not really worried about Pamela being swept away by her charm since she was a woman too and knew what Sophia was trying to do.
However, Greg was a different story. He was smitten by Sophia's charm. It was obvious he liked Sophia more than Corinne as he would always praise her for her cheerful and down-to-earth personality.
Francine could not help but feel angry when she recalled that.
"That's enough, Sophia! Give up. I know what you're trying to do, but Jeremy will never like you!"
Sophia shrugged helplessly. "Francine, you're getting the wrong idea. I was just trying to be kind by offering a ride to you and your grandmother. I really have no other ulterior motives," she said innocently.
Francine rolled her eyes. "As if I'm going to believe that! Let me tell you something: Corinne is already back, so it's game over for you. No amount of sucking up to my brother or my grandparents will ever work out in your favor!"
Sophia was first stunned to hear this, but she then smiled. "Really? Corinne's back? Where is she? Grandma, are you going to see her now? Can you please bring me with you? I've been dying to meet her!"

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...
