Annie could not bring herself to defend Jeremy anymore.
"Tommy, you should stop defending Uncle Jeremy. The more you try to explain, the more it sounds like you're trying to help him cover up something. Plus, what could he possibly be so busy with that he didn't even come to visit Corinne once in the past few days? Even I have to side with Corinne on this! Hmph!"
Tommy was speechless. 'Poor Mister Jeremy… He does have his reason…'
Annie did not want to talk to him or the other two guys in the room anymore, so she went to Corinne's room. Xante was still inside talking to her.
"Corinne, have you decided whether you're going to the party?" asked Annie as she sat in front of them.
Corinne looked up lazily and asked, "What party?"
Annie frowned. "Sophia's birthday party, of course!"
"Oh, I forgot all about it. Why should I go to some stranger's birthday party?"
"But she gave you the invitation, so how can you not go?" asked Annie frustratedly.
"There's no law saying I must go to a party just because I've been invited," said Corinne nonchalantly.
Annie turned to Xante. "Xante, would you go if you were in Corinne's situation?"
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "I would go if I'm available."
"Why?" asked Annie curiously.
"I mean, it's not like I have anything better to do and… Who knows? I might meet a hot guy and have a fling with him."
"Uh… Okay…"
Xante's reasoning, though somewhat offbeat, was still a reasoning after all.

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...
