In fact, Jeremy was even worse off than Corinne since both of his parents abandoned him when he was little.
Emily, at least, brought Corinne with her when she left the family. It was only out of desperation that she gave her up to the Carews in the end.
Thus, Corinne had the unshakeable faith that Emily loved her, even though her memories of her were hazy to say the least. It was that faith that made her believe she was worthy of love despite Emily not being by her side through her formative years of growing up.
However, the same could not be said for Jeremy. It was difficult for him to not think that his parents did not care about him since they both chose not to bring him with them. For the longest time, he carried the hurt of abandonment with him.
Not only that, but he had to live in a pressure-cooker environment. Though it did not cause him to have a twisted personality, it did make him cold and unapproachable. However, despite his tough exterior, Corinne knew him to be kind and gentle, which was very rare indeed.
Thinking of all that, Corinne could not help but soften a little. "Hey, Mister."
Jeremy was peeling some shrimps for her. "Yeah?"
"Text me the address."
Not understanding what she was talking about, Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "What address?"
She pouted coquettishly. "Sophia's address, of course! That way, I at least know where to find you if you don't come back after three days."
Jeremy was first stunned, but he then smiled. "Are you that worried that I'm not going to come back?"
Corinne frowned. "Cut the crap and give me the address now!"
Before he boarded the plane, Jeremy stroked Corinne's face lovingly. "I'll call you after I've landed. Now, go back with your brother and rest up."
Corinne nodded and watched as both Jeremy and Edmund entered the airport's VIP passageway. She remained standing there, lost in thought, even after Jeremy was long out of sight.
Lucas stroked Corinne's head. "Come now. Let's head back home."
Corinne frowned. For some reason, she could shake off the tightness in her chest. "I can't help but think something bad is going to happen to him."
Lucas understood how she felt. "Don't worry. Adam might be a tough nut to crack, but Jeremy's no pushover either. I'm sure he'll be fine."

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...
