Sophia put the container of cut fruits on the table and sat on the chair across from Jeremy. She then opened the container and said with a smile, "Okay, it is boring here, but you're here! I want to meet new friends and challenge myself in different areas to make the most out of my life. I mean, isn't that the point of living? Experiencing new stuff and stepping out of one's comfort zone?"
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chilled watermelon with a fork and passed it to Jeremy.
Jeremy's head was throbbing from the long meeting and the photos Tommy sent. He took the fork from Sophia's hand and put the chilled watermelon inside his mouth to allow the coldness to wash away his annoyance.
Sophia picked up a piece of watermelon and took a small bite. She then blinked and said curiously, "Jeremy, Miss Corinne must've treated you very well in the past for you to like her this much, huh?"
Jeremy frowned at the mention of Corinne's name. After a long while, he asked her back, "How well does she have to treat me to be called treating me well?"
Sophia rested her chin on her hand while she continued to eat the watermelon. "Mm… Take me for example. I'd bring you some cut fruits without you asking. Or call you to ask you when you're coming home. Or cook your favorite food for dinner. Or…create little surprises for you. Or show you how much I love you frequently."
Jeremy's face darkened, but then he suddenly smiled mockingly. 'How laughable. That little rascal never did any of those things. Heck, I don't think she even knows what my favorite foods are.'
Sophia pretended to be shocked when she saw Jeremy being silent. "What? Don't tell me she's never done any of those things for you. Sorry, Jeremy. I didn't know it was a one-sided relationship on your part."
Jeremy kept his eyes down. 'One-sided relationship, huh? How apt of a phrase to describe my relationship with that little rascal. From the beginning until the end, she's never been serious about me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left me without saying a word.'

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...
