"Miss Sophia, it doesn't seem like you're being sincere. I can't help but feel like you're forcing me to go. It's as if I'll look like a total b*tch if I don't go."
Sophia was so shocked by Corinne's words that she did not know what to say.
Thus, she passed the invitation to Tommy before turning back to say to her, "Corinne, I was sincere when I said I wanted to invite you, but I must've been too much in a rush to get you to agree. I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you. I'll leave the invitation with Tommy so you can come if you change your mind. Jeremy's friends will be at the party too. I'll be off, then. Goodbye."
After that, she turned around and kindly reminded Tommy, "Tommy, do your best to take care of Corinne for Jeremy, okay?"
"Will do, Miss Sophia," said Tommy with a nod.
Sophia smiled and walked toward the entrance.
Tommy did not see her off as he was worried that Corinne would be upset by him doing that. Not knowing what to do, he simply stood with the invitation in his hand.
"Miss Corinne, forgive me for saying this, but I think you've misunderstood Mister Jeremy and Miss Sophia's relationship. They're just friends. Miss Sophia has grown up abroad where the people there are more open-minded, so that's why her behavior might sometimes be frowned upon here. But she's really not that bad of a person. They met each other when they studied abroad."
Corinne smiled mockingly. "Just friends? Would a man get legally married to someone who's just a friend?"
Tommy was dumbstruck. "So you knew about that! There's an explanation for that though—"
"You don't have to explain anything to me. Whatever it is, I have no interest in knowing the reason now," interrupted Corinne. After that, she went back into her room and shut the door loudly, leaving Tommy to sigh helplessly.

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...
