Both Jeremy and Corinne's mothers went missing when they were young, and they had no idea whether their mothers were still alive or dead.
"Where's Jeremy's father now?" asked Corinne.
Annie sighed. "After Uncle Jeremy's mother left, his father stopped going out and fooling around with other women. Not long after that, he ran off to be a monk at some temple high up in Cloud Mountain.
"Grandpa Greg sent people to convince him to come back several times, but he refused, and Grandpa Greg fell sick because of this. Later, he realized that his grandson was the complete opposite of his son in terms of temperament.
"Uncle Jeremy, who was pushing thirty by then, was a workaholic who had no interest in women, whereas his father only knew how to fool around with women at his age. Gradually, rumors that Uncle Jeremy is into men started to fly around.
"To dispel the rumors, Grandpa Greg rushed Uncle Jeremy into marriage, telling him it doesn't matter who he marries as long as she's a woman and that he won't have his operation unless he gets married. One thing led to another until he ended up where he is right now."
Corinne felt a pang in her heart. "So both of Jeremy's parents abandoned him? How old was he when that happened?"
Annie thought about it. "I heard from my mom that Uncle Jeremy was about seven or eight years old then. He must've known what was happening but was too powerless to do anything about it.
"Everyone thinks Uncle Jeremy was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and that he only needs to snap his finger to get what he wants. They don't know that he grew up carrying the family's responsibilities and unimaginable pressure.

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...
