The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1309
Corinne finally shifted her gaze from the television to Lucas. "Something I've been wishing for?"
'Could it be…'
Lucas snapped his fingers, and the servants immediately brought in and lifted off the white dust-proof fabric covering the painting.
Corinne's eyes instantly lit up. It was the self-portrait of Nellie Nymphaea!
The woman in the painting was looking down despairingly, yet her body language showed an unyielding thirst for life as though there was still something holding her back.
There were fine lines around her eyes and the two sides of her nose, so Corinne guessed her mother should be in her mid-thirties when she painted this self-portrait.
'If this is Mom's self-portrait, that means she managed to escape from being killed after she left me with the Carews,' thought Corinne. She could not help but hope that her mother was still alive even until then.
Lucas' expression subtly changed when he saw the painting. There were so many things he regretted when it came to his mother. Being 10 years older than Corinne, he remembered much more about Emily than his little sister.
After a while, Corinne snapped out of her trance. She then turned to Lucas and asked curiously, "How did you manage to get the painting in one day?"
She thought Jeremy would not give her the painting no matter what.
Lucas thought it was surprising too. "Things went better than I expected! I went to find Jeremy this afternoon, and after I told him the purpose of my visit, he straight away ordered his men to bring the painting to me."
Corinne found that incredulous. "Really? He didn't ask for anything in return?"
Lucas shook his head. "Nope. He didn't even ask for payment."
Corinne frowned. "How can you not pay him? Didn't I tell you I'd pay you back no matter how much it costs? I don't want to owe him anything!"
Lucas looked deeply into her eyes as he explained, "I did give him the money, but he said he didn't want it. He even told me to give the money to you since you're the one who holds the purse strings in the relationship."

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...
