Annie must have come back because she forgot something.
Corinne placed her glass of milk down and got up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jason's charming face appeared in front of her.
Corinne remained calm despite her surprise. "Why are you here?"
Jason held up a thermos. "To see you, of course! Have you had breakfast? I asked someone to prepare some soup for you."
"Thanks," said Corinne and invited him in.
It was the first time Jason came to Corinne's place, and he began admiring the decor as soon as he entered the door. "Where's the kitchen? I'll get a bowl and pour some for you!"
"Have a seat. I'll get it myself." Corinne walked toward the kitchen rather than pointing him to where it was.
Instead of sitting, Jason followed her into the kitchen with the thermos. The cupboard was situated under the sink, so it was a little difficult for Corinne to bend down and get the bowls.
Jason walked over and helped her. "Let me do it."
Corinne stepped aside and allowed him to help her.
Jason took out a bowl from the cupboard and opened the thermos to pour out some soup for her. He placed it on the bar and said, "Drink some while it's hot!"
Corinne nodded. She was not too fond of normal breakfast during her pregnancy, preferring instead to drink soups. During the time she stayed in Jason's villa, he instructed the servants there to cook soup for her every night.
Jason sighed when he heard that, but he then smiled at her. "Do I look like such a calculative person to you? The concern that I show for you comes from the bottom of my heart. I've never considered anything else."
Corinne lowered her head and continued to drink her soup. After a moment of silence, she said, "I'm very grateful for all the help you have given me, and I'll treat you as a good friend. Let me know if you face any difficulties in the future and I'll promise you I'll do my best to help you. Other than that, I can't repay your kindness with feelings. I hope you'll understand."
Jason approached her and said, "Do you have to be that firm on this?"
Corinne looked up at his charming eyes. "It's better for me to be harsh than to let you string yourself along with false hope."
"You still have a long life ahead of you." Jason moved closer again. "Are you saying you don't plan on falling in love again in the future?"
Corinne felt that he trespassed her comfort zone and decided to retreat slightly. "I don't have the heart for that anymore."

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...
