Aaron smiled and said, "That's enough out of you two. From the way I see it, this invitation is more like a declaration of war against the boss."
Both Annie and Sunny looked at him with confusion. "Declaration of war?"
"Yeah! I mean, Jeremy's the one throwing the party for Miss Sophia, right? So she's showing off to the boss. It's her way of indirectly letting the boss know how good Jeremy is to her that he's willing to throw a party for her."
Annie and Sunny exchanged glances with each other. Suddenly, everything started to make sense to them.
At that moment, Tommy—unable to stand there and do nothing anymore—walked over to them to defend Jeremy.
"Please don't get the wrong idea. Mister Jeremy is just helping out Miss Sophia by inviting some of his friends to the party. As for the party itself, everything is paid for by Miss Sophia herself. Mister Jeremy isn't the one throwing her the party."
Aaron, Annie, and Sunny looked up at him. Xante, too, shifted her attention from her phone to Tommy.
Annie was the first to speak. "Hmph! Why would Uncle Jeremy invite his friends to the party if they're really just friends? Doesn't he know that his status is different from others? I mean, it'd be so easy for other people to misunderstand the whole situation if he did that. No wonder Corinne got mad at him."
Tommy was speechless.
"Annie's right! Women love to get jealous for nothing! But the fact that Jeremy doesn't know how to keep his boundaries with another woman and to help her out by inviting his friends to her party… Well, I can't say I blame Corinne for ignoring him. He should learn from me. I haven't spoken to any other girls in my school since I got together with Xante. A man should always draw a line without being asked."
Xante's lips twitched. "You do know I don't care whether you speak with other girls, right?"
"I'd still do it even if you don't care," said Sunny arrogantly. "That's the perk of being my girlfriend!"

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...
