Corinne smiled in a way that seemed polite and a little contemptuous altogether. "Is that so?"
Lucas nodded. "Yeah! What happened with our mother had nothing to do with you! Yes, they did for a brief moment suspect that you were a product of an affair because of the rumors going around, but after they calmed down, they realized how wrong they were."
Corinne scoffed. "Oh, how nice of them to think that!"
Lucas sighed helplessly when he saw how stubborn Corinne was. His gaze went down to her protruding belly, and the worries of her leaving gripped him again. After thinking it over, he said, "Fine. I won't talk about the past anymore. But you don't want to see Jeremy, right? Well, I can guarantee he won't bother you if you just stay here."
Corinne was a little taken aback and, to be honest, very tempted by Lucas' suggestion. She only came back to the city because Jeremy found out her hiding place in the countryside and also because the baby was about to be due.
Even though Jason said he would hire the best doctor to deliver the baby, she was still worried there might be complications during the delivery and that lives would be lost due to lack of hospital equipment.
She did not want to die nor did she want to put the baby at any risk, but then again, she was also worried that Jeremy would steal the baby while she was still unconscious after giving birth.
Thus, the more she thought about Lucas' suggestion, the more tempted she was to take it.
"But what are you going to tell your family if I decide to stay here? You know I don't want them to find out who I am, right?" she asked after a while.
Lucas was pleasantly surprised to see Corinne actually giving his suggestion some thought. "You don't have to worry about that. I won't tell them who you are. Dad has brought our grandparents abroad to visit some relatives, and they won't be back for three months. The only people here are me and Sunny. That means you can stay here without worrying what other people would think."

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...
