"A nutritionist will prepare lunch for you later, Corinne. Is there anything you'd like to eat for dinner? I'll get the ingredients after work."
Since Corinne chose to stay with them, she might as well treat herself to whatever she wanted. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I'd like to eat some grilled meat."
Lucas frowned, apparently unhappy at her request. "You should go easy on greasy food."
Rather than protest, Corinne said, "Oh. Then I'll order some food delivery."
Lucas had no choice but to change his tone. "Okay, I'll shop for some vegetables and meats after I get off work. We'll have some grilled food when I come back."
Corinne grunted softly and lowered her head to eat some bacon. She took a bite and said in a sullen tone, "Don't forget to get that painting as soon as possible."
She wanted to get her hands on the painting as soon as she could so Jeremy would no longer be able to blackmail her into doing annoying things.
Lucas nodded. "I won't forget about it."
A sudden idea then occurred to Sunny. He took advantage of Lucas' good mood and asked boldly, "Our school has been turned into an exam venue today, and we don't have any classes to attend. Is it alright if I don't go to tuition? I want to keep Corinne company today!"
Lucas shot his younger half-brother a displeased look.
Corinne then said, "Let him have some time off. It's boring to be alone at home, and I'd appreciate having some company."
"Okay." Lucas smiled at Corinne, and his expression turned gentle in an instant. He then glanced at his insolent younger brother and said, "Be good, and don't make Corinne angry."
Sunny was thrilled when Lucas gave in. He nodded earnestly and said, "Don't worry, Lucas! I promise I won't make her angry!"
After Lucas finished eating, he picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. "I have to go now. Be good, and call me if you need anything."

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...
