Corinne's pregnancy hormones made her more impatient than ever. She was already in a bad mood from seeing Jeremy, and Sophia's nonsensical babbling pushed her to the edge.
Corinne raised her hand, intending to push Sophia out of the way. Just as her fingers brushed her shoulder, Sophia flew out and hit her head on the cashier counter as though propelled by some invisible force. Blood started to trickle down her forehead, causing her to scream out in pain.
Corinne frowned at Sophia's subpar acting. 'I can't believe just a few minutes ago, I thought this woman was smarter than Anya in her manipulation method! Welp, she's not that much smarter after all.'
Corinne did not feel guilty at all as she did not even touch Sophia before she fell on her own accord. 'It's just as well that she fell. I can leave the restaurant now.'
However, she did not even take two steps before Jeremy shouted at her, "Where do you think you're going?!"
Corinne stopped and turned to look at him. "What? Do I need your permission to leave too?"
Jeremy's face darkened. He strode toward where Sophia was on the floor and helped her up before glaring at Corinne. "How can you leave when you're the reason Sophia is so badly hurt?"
"Forget it, Jeremy. I'm okay. Please don't ruin your reunion with Miss Corinne because of me…" said Sophia, pretending to be stoic.
Jeremy scoffed. "I know you mean well, Sophia. But I don't think she's the type to appreciate it."
Sophia shook her head and squeezed out a smile. "I'm fine."
Corinne's eyes had grown icy cold by then. "Mister Jeremy, you should know that she wouldn't let me leave just now so I had no choice but to push her aside."

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...
