'Mutual friends? Since when do we have mutual friends?' wondered Corinne.
"You know what, it's fine, Miss Sophia. You should hang out with your other guests. I can just walk around by myself."
However, Sophia did not want to let her go. "No, that won't do. You shouldn't stay on your feet for too long since you're pregnant. Come, let's sit over there and I'll get the waiter to get you something to eat and drink."
As much as Corinne did not like Sophia, she thought it would be rude to keep turning her down on her birthday. She had no choice but to follow her to where she pointed.
Sophia brought her over to the VIP area where three men were already sitting on the sofa.
Zeke, with a glass in his hand, was regaling Gerald and Jason with a funny story but stopped when he saw Sophia and Corinne coming over.
He narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Well, well! If it isn't the woman who dumped Jeremy and ran away with his baby."
Corinne glanced at him and said nothing.
Gerald was surprised to see her there, too. He gave her a customary nod as a greeting.
As for Jason, he smiled mischievously the moment he saw Corinne.
"Corinne, I trust that you know each other already. Why don't you take a seat here? I'll get the waiter to bring you something to eat," said Sophia.
Not feeling awkward at the slightest, Corinne sat on an empty sofa.
"Guys, please take care of Corinne for me while I go greet the other guests," said Sophia with a smile to Zeke and the others.
Zeke smirked and raised his glass. "Sure thing! This'll be a perfect opportunity to catch up with each other. After all, it's been a while since we last saw you, right, Corinne?"
Corinne continued to ignore him.

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...
