There were numerous missed call notifications. The majority was from Jason, followed by Aaron and Xante.
Corinne wondered if she should text to inform him she was safe.
There were also countless messages from Jason on her social media apps. All of them enquired about her whereabouts and her safety.
She felt a little bad for him and replied, [I'm fine. My phone ran out of juice.]
Jason replied almost instantly, [Where are you now?]
[I'd rather not say…] 'You'd come running straight to me if I told you, and I know that Lucas will let you in to see me because you two have a good relationship.'
Jason sent her another message. [Why not?]
[You'll know later. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed now.] Corinne exited the chat after replying to Jason. She was about to lock the screen and put down the phone when she saw a friend request displayed at the bottom of the screen.
She clicked on the notification and saw that the request had been made by Jeremy. She had just created a new account and deactivated her former one to avoid him. 'Why is he adding me as a friend again?'
After Corinne declined his request, she switched off the display and put down her phone to dry her hair. When she was done, she decided to lie on the bed and continue scrolling through her phone. That was when she saw yet another friend request by Jeremy.
This time, he included a message that read, [Don't you want the painting?]
Corinne was speechless and angry. Her hand was practically shaking as she held the phone.
Jeremy knew how to pull her strings. As angry as she was, she could not escape being manipulated like that. For the sake of the painting, she accepted his friend's request without replying to him.
However, he sent her a message and acted as if nothing happened. [Why haven't you slept yet?]
Corinne gritted her teeth and replied, [What are you trying to do?]

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...
