Corinne slammed the book shut irritatedly. She could not continue reading anymore.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm an adult capable of taking care of myself? I am very responsible when it comes to my health, so there is no need for you to worry about me."
Lucas could understand why his sister was so averse to him, but he still found it difficult to set his mind at ease.
For a woman, giving birth was like going through hell and back. It would be too late for him to regret it if something went wrong. Unfortunately, he knew Corinne would not heed his advice in her present state.
Lucas thought for a moment and offered a compromise. "Fine. You can stay here if you want, but I'll send someone here to take care of you tomorrow. I'll also visit you every day."
Corinne was thoroughly annoyed. "No thanks!"
"I've already decided! If you're not coming with me, this is how we'll do it. It's the only way I can be at ease." Lucas did not let Corinne have her way and got up. "Get some rest. I'll come and check on you again tomorrow. Think about what I told you. Sooner or later, you'll have to go home."
Lucas glanced at her one last time before turning around and leaving the room.
Corinne's mind was in a complete mess as she stared at Lucas's figure. She leaned back in exhaustion and stared at the ceiling after collapsing onto the bed.
After Lucas came out, his expression was no longer as gentle as when he spoke to Corinne. He pulled a long face and stared sullenly at the dining table.
"Are you going to come out on your own or should I go under there and help you?" he faced the dining table and asked.
After a second, Sunny crawled out from under the dining table with his hands over his head. "I'm here. Don't get mad at me..."
Lucas closed his eyes in disappointment. "Time to go home."
Sunny nodded obediently and walked out despondently. "Okay."

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...
