Corinne did not seem perturbed. "Hurry up. Which song would you like to listen to? I'll play it for you so it won't feel awkward when we don't have anything to talk about during the call."
Jeremy remained composed and unaffected. Even her shallow breathing was comforting to her. He replied, "Let's listen to 'Bridge over Troubled Water'."
Corinne used her music player to search for the song and found several by different artists. She asked, "Who's the singer?"
Jeremy replied, "Simon and Garfunkel."
Music soon filled the air as Corinne played the track. After listening briefly to the song, she suddenly remarked, "I never felt such a significant generation gap between us before this, but I feel it now that I'm listening to this song! We listen to songs from different eras, haha..."
Jeremy stopped typing on his keyboard. He seemed to take some offense to Corinne's remark. "Are you bothered by my age?"
Corinne sighed. "There's nothing I can do about it even if I am. You being older than I am is a fact. We can't turn back the clock."
Jeremy's expression soured, and the atmosphere in the car became heavy. He did not usually care much about his age, but he did so when it came to Corinne.
His silence elicited a chuckle from her. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you upset?"
"No," Jeremy replied curtly.
Corinne then said, "Your song choice is a little dated, but it's pretty nice, especially the lyrics. It's quite fitting for the moment."
Jeremy did not respond to her remark. Instead, he asked, "What songs do you like to listen to? Choose one that youngsters like you enjoy."
"Of course. Please follow me," the man said politely, bowing slightly as he gestured for Jeremy to come with him.
Jeremy, along with Tommy, followed the man into Adam's vast estate. He finally arrived at a spacious gym where Adam was lifting weights.
Adam had maintained an impressive physique despite his old age, and that could be considered a testament to his discipline.
The young man who led Jeremy there said, "Sir, Mister Jeremy is here."
Adam placed the barbell down and smiled at Jeremy. "My son-in-law has arrived!"

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...
