Sophia pretended to be shocked. "Mister Lucas, do you have any proof I was behind the fliers? You shouldn't accuse me if you don't have any proof. I swear I'm only here to make sure Corinne is okay as Jeremy's friend. I mean, I thought it's the least I could do since Jeremy is not with us anymore…"
She started to get teary as she spoke.
Lucas never fell for a trick like this. He was in a rush to get back to Corinne, so he wanted to cut his conversation short. "That's enough. You're not welcome here. Corinne doesn't want to see you at all."
Realizing she would need to take a harder approach with Lucas, Sophia said steelily, "Mister Lucas, can I ask what your relationship is with Corinne? What right do you have to speak on her behalf? What right do you have to stop me from seeing her?"
"Of course I have the right. As for what my relationship with Corinne is, that's none of your business," replied Lucas coldly. After that, he stepped into the pantry room. He thought that Sophia would not back down so easily, so he was pleasantly surprised when she did not follow him in.
After he filled up the thermos with some warm water, he went back to the corridor and saw Sophia nowhere in sight. Not thinking too much about it, he quickly walked back to Corinne's hospital room.
However, Corinne was nowhere to be found in her hospital room. Her hospital bed was empty with the blanket thrown off.
Lucas' pupils immediately shrank. He threw the thermos to the ground and quickly called the hospital to ask them to seal off all exit points to prevent Corinne from leaving.
…
It was already too late; Corinne was already out of the hospital by then. She was in so much of a rush that she did not even change out of her hospital gown.
She only stopped running when she came to a junction that was quite far from the hospital. Panting, she took out her phone and was about to call Aaron when a red sports car stopped in front of her.

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...
