"Mister Lucas, you're still awake?" asked Aaron with a smile.
Lucas looked up the stairs to make sure Corinne was out of earshot before turning his attention to Aaron. "Don't tell Corinne anything about Adam," he warned sternly.
Aaron was a little taken aback. "Why not?"
"You don't need to look into Adam to know what kind of person he is. How do you think Corinne would react if you told her about all the horrible things he did before? She might not say it, but we all know she's very worried about Jeremy. So, for her and the baby's sake, just keep your mouth shut about Adam. The less she knows, the better."
Aaron smiled. "Oh wow, I didn't know you cared about the boss so much. After all, it wasn't that long when you repeatedly hurt her because of Miss Anya. I find it hard to believe you're the same person as you were back then."
Lucas instantly felt guilty when Aaron brought up his past. He could, of course, tell he was mocking him. However, he did not get angry as he felt like he deserved it. He would not even get angry at Aaron if he cussed him out for being a b*stard.
Corinne still had not forgiven him or accepted him as her brother.
"Rest assured, I know very well what I did before. That's why I'm trying very hard to make it up to her. It's late, so the two of you should head back home. Just remember what I said—keep it to yourselves when you find out anything about Adam."
Aaron nodded. "I hope you'll be a better brother to her this time, Mister Lucas."
He then waved goodbye and left with Xante.
Xante and Aaron had just stepped out of the door when Lucas heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming down the stairs.
Lucas did not need to look up to know it was Sunny who came down.
Sunny had failed so many subjects in school that he could never compete with the other students at home. Thus, Lucas found Sunny an elite boarding school abroad. He had hoped Sunny would be able to reform himself there.
However, Sunny was resistant to the idea of going to a boarding school to the extent of threatening to end his life. Left with no choice, Lucas decided to put the plan on pause for the time being.
Thus, Lucas was understandably surprised that Sunny would volunteer to go himself.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Lucas asked again, just to be sure. "Because I'm not going to bring you back if you find it hard there. You're a grown-up now, so you must take responsibility for your decisions."
Sunny stared at him resolutely. "Yes, I've thought it through, and I really want to go. I promise I'm not going to regret my decision."

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...
