Corinne only snapped out of her trance when the elevator floor indicator panel was at '1'. She exhaled deeply out of relief and was about to close the door when someone suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Miss Corinne, Mister Jeremy had asked me to deliver this soup to you," said Tommy.
He was holding a thermos in his hand. He must have been waiting outside the door the whole time.
'Jeremy brought me soup too?' She could feel her heart melting for him, but she quickly shook herself out of it. 'No! He didn't bring the soup for me but for the baby inside of my belly!'
Corinne pushed away Tommy coldly. "No, thanks. I don't want it."
Tommy quickly shot out his hand to stop her from closing the door. "Miss Corinne, Mister Jeremy woke up early this morning to make this soup for you. Won't you at least try it?"
Annoyed at not being able to close the door, Corinne said angrily, "So what if he cooked it? No law out there says I must eat whatever he cooks!"
"Mister Jeremy was worried you might get a nosebleed from drinking the soup Miss Pamela cooks for you, so he studied all the recipes to make this soup for you. That's how thoughtful he is. Can you please at least open it up to see? I've been working for him for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen him cook anything for anybody."
Corinne was a little taken aback. She started to waver, but she was not completely moved. However, it looked like Tommy was not going to let her close the door unless she accepted the soup.
After thinking about it, Corinne took the thermos from Tommy's hand. "Fine, I'll take the soup."
Tommy smiled. "Thank you, Miss Corinne. I knew you'd take it."
Corinne looked at him with disgust. "Why are you still here?"

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...
