Jeremy approached Adam calmly, projecting strength while being very polite. He said, "I'm just a friend of your daughter, so you shouldn't call me that. Please, just call me by my name."
Adam replied with an emotionless smile, "Why shouldn't I? You have a marriage certificate with my daughter. Who else are you if you're not my son-in-law?"
Jeremy explained, "Sophia and I obtained the marriage certificate to convince my grandfather to undergo surgery. This was the agreement your daughter and I made. The agreement clearly stated that the marriage certificate was solely for that purpose. It has no other significance. Once that situation is resolved, both parties can agree on a date to annul the certificate."
Having said that, Jeremy nodded to Tommy, signaling for him to present the agreement to Adam.
Adam glanced at the agreement with a menacing expression but did not reach out to take it.
Jeremy continued, "If you're dissatisfied with this agreement, feel free to raise your terms. I'll do my best to compensate Sophia reasonably."
Tommy extended the agreement to Adam again, saying, "Please have a look, Mister Adam."
There was anger in Adam's eyes when he mentioned Corinne's name.
Jeremy's expression sank, but he responded calmly, "Mister Adam, I'd like to inform you that I did my research before asking Sophia for help in obtaining the certificate. There is significant flexibility in terms of having the marriage annulled. What I'm seeking right now is an annulment, not a divorce. An annulment erases all traces from Sophia's records, indicating that there was never a substantive relationship between us to begin with. I am nevertheless still willing to compensate her and express my gratitude for her assistance."
Adam sneered. "Easy for you to say!"

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...
