Marcus frowned when Annie failed to respond.
"You don't want to marry me? Is it because you think a lowly employee like me isn't worthy of marrying you? Is this what you mean when you say you're serious about me?"
Annie quickly shook her head. "No, no, no. It's just that… This is too sudden for me. I was too shocked by your proposal."
Marcus suddenly put down his utensils and grabbed Annie's hands. "Annie, I really, really like you. That's why I get jealous whenever I see you being close to another man. Trust me, I'll work hard in the future to give you a good life. Annie, I love you. Will you marry me?"
Annie remained shocked. She could not put a finger on her emotions at that moment. Her heart did not race nor did she feel butterflies in her stomach. She did not even feel overwhelmed with joy in the slightest!
It was very complicated, to say the least.
At that moment, Marcus' colleagues—who sat at the table next to them—overheard his proposal and shouted, "Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"
The other staff looked at them with interest before breaking out in the same chorus, "Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"
Marcus laughed, happy that his colleagues were giving their support. He then got down on one knee and looked deeply into Annie's eyes.
"Annie, will you give me the honor of marrying you with the blessings of our colleagues?"
Annie turned bright red. "I…"
A graceful man's voice suddenly cut through the noise at that moment. "What's all this commotion?"
Everyone instantly quietened down and went back to eating after they recognized the voice to be Aaron's.

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...
