Corinne immediately frowned when she saw Jeremy already seated inside the private dining room of a restaurant.
"What's he doing here?" she asked Lucas unhappily, blaming him for not telling her that Jeremy would be joining them for dinner.
Lucas could tell Corinne was angry, but he expected this. "He's going abroad soon, and he wants to treat us to dinner tonight. Just treat this as his farewell dinner," he explained gently.
'He's going abroad again?' thought Corinne with a frown.
"Is this necessary? I mean, Mister Jeremy takes the plane like normal people taking the bus, so do we really need to have a farewell dinner with him? Or does he not plan to come back this time?" she asked mockingly to hide the panic rising in her chest.
Jeremy got up and pulled out a chair for her. "You don't sound like you want me to come back at all."
Corinne scoffed. "And you make it sound as if I have a say in that."
Jeremy was not in a hurry to explain himself. Instead, he gestured at the chair with his chin and said, "Why don't you take a seat?"
Corinne walked over and unceremoniously sat down.
At that moment, Sunny asked, "Jeremy, which country are you going to this time? When will you be back?"
"Molomia, and I'll be back in three days if everything goes to plan."
Corinne took a sip of her lemon-infused water thoughtfully and said nothing.
Jeremy waved his hand again for both Lucas and Sunny to take their seats before sitting next to Corinne.
The four of them skimmed through the menu.
Corinne remained silent throughout the whole process as Jeremy and Lucas ordered her favorite dishes.
At that moment, Lucas stood up and said, "Please carry on. I need to step out to take a call."
After that, he went outside. Before he did, however, he shot Sunny—who was eating happily—a look.
Fortunately, Sunny understood what Lucas meant. He, too, quickly got up and excused himself to go to the restroom.
Thus, only Corinne and Jeremy were left in the private dining room.
After a long moment of silence, Jeremy silently ladled some soup for Corinne.
In the end, it was Corinne who broke the silence.
"Jeremy… Can you not go to Molomia?"

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...
