Soon, they arrived at the apartment Corinne shared with Xante and Aaron.
As soon as she entered the unit, Corinne curled herself up on the sofa. Having not seen her for half a year, her pet cat was so excited that it could not stop rubbing itself against her.
Aaron went to the open-plan kitchen to get her a warm cup of milk. "Here you go, Boss," he said as he placed it on top of the table.
"Thanks," said Corinne, but she did not touch it. Instead, she remained seated with Mimi curled up in her lap, lost in thought.
This was the first time Annie had been at the apartment. She started looking around, and when she saw Corinne stroking a cat, she said worriedly, "Corinne, I don't think it's safe to be around an animal when you're pregnant."
Corinne glanced at Annie. "Who are you to tell me what to do?"
Annie was speechless. Corinne had never spoken to her like that before. 'She must be angry at me because I'm related to Uncle Jeremy,' she thought.
Aaron washed up some fruit and placed them on the table before smiling and saying to Annie, "Don't worry. The cat goes for regular deworming at the vet, so it's safe."
"Oh. Okay…" said Annie with a nod.
She came to persuade Corinne to go back home, but she found herself not daring to even bring up Jeremy's name after Corinne's harsh reminder.
Aaron put on some soothing music on the television before covering Corinne with a blanket. After that, he gestured to Annie with his eyebrow and whispered, "Let's give her some quiet time. Come with me."
Annie nodded and followed Aaron to where he was gesturing. However, she did not expect him to bring her into his bedroom! She thought that room would be a study, a gym, or anything else.
When she saw the bed in the room, realization immediately dawned on 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...
