Corinne looked at the blue sky beyond the umbrella in silence. "You like Xante because she's beautiful, independent, and she's different from the annoying group of girls at school?"
Sunny felt that Corinne described Xante perfectly and nodded right away. "Yeah, you could say that!"
Corinne grinned. "You might like her maturity now, but will you continue to like that in the future? What if you go to college and meet better, more independent girls? Will you fall for them too?"
Sunny frowned and objected. "Why do you say that? Are you telling me Xante is the kind of girl you can compare with any random girl on the street?"
Corinne looked at Sunny. "Of course not. I think she's one of a kind. You're the one who might mistake this newfound feeling for love."
Sunny raised his chin proudly. "No, that's not how I feel! I'm not the kind of guy who will get attracted to just anyone. I'm either in it for the long run, or I'm not. I don't do things halfway. I take my relationship with Xante very seriously. I'm going to marry her!"
Corinne did not intend to look down on Sunny or scoff at him. She merely felt that he was a little too naive. All young people believed they would be with their partner forever, but they would break up later. It was especially true of men—always very fickle.
The best-case scenario for two people in a relationship would be to either enjoy their time together while it lasted or have the same mindset of going the distance. The worst-case scenario would be if only one of them was committed to going the distance.
Xante might be a mature, level-headed, and independent woman, but there was no telling whether or not she might fall head over heels for him and end up getting heartbroken. Corinne used to be confident in herself too, believing she would neither fall in love that easily nor let men deceive her. In the end, she suffered heartbreak all the same.

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...
