Jeremy leaned into the seat, so Corinne did not see him when she woke up. She just thought he was part of the seat. It was not until he moved his body that the light from outside of the car fell on his face.
Corinne was not happy to see him at all. She frowned out of embarrassment and asked, "It's you! How… How did I end up in your car?!"
Jeremy glanced sideways at her. "You should first ask yourself why you fainted on me of all people."
Corinne remembered someone scooping her up from behind to prevent her from falling before she blacked out.
'So it was Jeremy who saved me…' thought Corinne. She decided to be nicer to him since he did her a big favor.
"Sorry, I must've fainted because of low blood sugar. Thank you for saving me. Well, I guess I'll be off, then," she said.
After that, she opened the car door. Jeremy did not stop her. Instead, he just said breezily, "I guess you don't want to see Nellie Nymphaea's self-portrait, then."
Corinne's hand instantly froze, and she snapped her head back to look at him. "You have the painting?"
'No wonder I couldn't find the painting even after searching every corner of the venue!' thought Corinne.
Jeremy rested his chin on his hand and simply replied, "Yeah."
Corinne closed the car door and sat back down. "Where is the painting now? Can I please see it?"
Jeremy looked at her mockingly. "Why should I let you see my private collection?"
'Oh, so he bought the painting!' thought Corinne. She started to panic. However, she forced herself to calm down and suppress all of her anger for the sake of her mother's painting. "I'm just asking to see it. It's not like I'm asking you to give it to me."

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...
