Annie pouted. "No, I don't want to leave! It's nearly morning, anyway! Let me stay here with you until then, and I'll take a cab home after that."
Marcus got angry at her because of Aaron, so she wanted to collect her thoughts before having any contact with Aaron. She knew if she went downstairs then, Aaron would never let her go back home. It was best to stay with Corinne and leave after Aaron had left.
"By the way, I managed to get some details about Sophia. Do you want to hear them?" said Annie in a tone that aimed to evoke curiosity.
Corinne was resting against the headboard and scrolling through her phone. Her expression became slightly intrigued when she heard that. She looked up and said to Annie, "Speak."
Knowing she had gotten Corinne's full attention, Annie sat on the floor and put her elbow on the bed, her chin resting in her hand as she told Corinne what she knew.
"I'm sure you've noticed Uncle Jeremy kept a clear boundary between himself and Anya, even when he mistakenly thought she saved him years ago. However, the same could not be said for Sophia as he would sometimes allow her to cross his boundary. Do you know why that is?"
Corinne instinctively frowned. Thinking back, she realized Jeremy did not treat Sophia as coldly as he treated Anya. He forced himself to endure whatever Anya wanted him to do as he felt like he owed her for saving his life. However, he was not so sensitive toward his personal space when it came to Sophia.
'What else could be the reason? It's because they're legally married!' thought Corinne. Her chest would inevitably tighten at the thought of that.
Her anger toward Jeremy came rushing back, and she wished to never see him again.

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...
