Sophia turned pale when such specific questions were directed to her. She shook her head innocently and denied it. "That's not true! How could you make all those false accusations?"
Corinne sneered. "Please. I have no reason to waste my breath on you if you didn't do any of that. You claim that I'm jealous of the marriage certificate you have with him, but what you don't know is that I don't give two hoots about it. If you can make him yours with that certificate, then by all means, do it!" Corinne glanced up and looked at Jeremy.
Jeremy was guilty as charged, so he did not dare to anger her or express his opinions. He was at fault for hiding from her the circumstances surrounding the marriage certificate, and he deserved all the scolding.
Sophia did not admit to anything that Corinne said, but she did not have strong reasons to refute him either. She deliberately changed the topic and said, "Don't you appreciate and cherish Jeremy at all? Don't you feel heartbroken if I take him away from you? How can you be worthy of his sincerity toward you if this is how you feel toward him?"
Jeremy's expression sank. He narrowed his eyes slightly and did not know what to feel as he looked at Corinne.
Sophia was adept at deflecting conflicts. Just a few simple questions were able to generate some friction between Corinne and Jeremy, even though they had both eased up on each other more than before.
Corinne did not seem affected by it at all. If she could be brave to speak her mind in front of Jeremy, she need not worry about what he would think of her. She smiled and said, "He's well aware of whether or not I'm worthy of him, so that's none of your concern. However, you and I both know why you and Jeremy obtained the marriage certificate in the first place. I'm not jealous about it at all. I'm just angry that he kept it from me and didn't tell me about it.
"If he could be convinced to be with you simply based on that document, then it only goes to show that he's a fickle-minded man who isn't worth my appreciation. In that case, you can have him! However, I know very well you can't do that because he would've forgotten about me long ago if you were successful."

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...
