Lucas thanked Francine and turned to leave after he saved Sophia's phone number in his phone.
Francine followed after him worriedly. "Wait! I want to go with you to look for Corinne, too!"
Lucas did not stop walking. Instead, it was Sunny who stopped Francine. He raised his arm and said, "Francine, it's best if you stay here with your grandparents. They need you more than ever now. You can rest assured that Lucas will find Corinne."
Francine frowned. "But…"
"Now that Jeremy isn't here, you need to step up to take care of your grandparents. Only then can he rest in peace," said Sunny.
Francine's eyes wavered. "Okay. You're right. I'll stay here. But call me the moment you found Corinne, okay?"
Sunny nodded. "You have my word."
…
Lucas called Sophia as soon as he got into the car.
"Hello, who's this?" asked Sophia breezily, which was a stark contrast to when she was on the phone with Francine.
Lucas got straight into the matter. "Where's Corinne?" he asked coldly.
Sophia was stunned for a moment before saying, "Mister Lucas, I presume? As I've told Francine, I haven't seen Corinne, nor do I know where she is. In fact, how can you question me when you wouldn't even let me see her? Seriously, how the heck would I know where she is?"
Lucas was not as easily fooled as Francine was. "Is your car plate number XX896?"

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...
