Marcus felt helpless after hearing what Annie said. He hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "I'll go back home and complete my tasks, then. Give me a call when you're home."
Annie nodded. "I will. Don't worry. I'll call you as soon as I get home!"
Marcus hugged Annie tightly as if he did not want to leave her alone. He looked intently at Aaron before turning and hailing a taxi to leave.
Annie was a little stiff after Marcus hugged her. She had been dating Marcus for a long time, but they never did anything particularly intimate. She always subconsciously avoided Marcus's attempts to get close to her.
She treated her relationship with Marcus seriously, and she felt that Marcus was a genuinely good person. She just found it difficult and awkward to get closer to Marcus for reasons even she was unable to explain.
Amid her surprise, she heard Aaron's gentle voice telling her, "Let's get in the car. It's getting cold."
Annie snapped back to her senses. She looked into Aaron's eyes and subconsciously avoided them. However, she nodded and accepted his offer to get into the back seat of the car.
Aaron joined her in the back seat too, which made Annie feel a little awkward as she thought they were the only two people in the car. That feeling soon passed when she saw Xante sitting in the front passenger seat.
Xante did not want to be the third wheel. She was considerate enough to raise the partition separating the front seats and the back seats.
Annie was speechless, and she immediately regretted getting into the car.
Aaron could sense Annie's awkwardness, so he chuckled and asked, "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you."
Annie pursed her lips. "I'm not nervous! I'm just worried about Uncle Jeremy."
Aaron shifted slightly and deliberately sat closer to her. "Are you sure it isn't because of me?"

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...
