Jeremy glared at Sophia to let her know she misspoke.
Sophia never received such icy treatment from Jeremy before. Even though he looked pale and harmless sitting in a wheelchair, she could not help but feel chilled to her bones by Jeremy's threatening aura.
"From the way I see it, Corinne growing up in the countryside is one of her strengths and not something to be ashamed of. I alone know how capable she is, and I feel like I've used up all of my luck for three lives for her to agree to marry me.
"Plus, I don't need my wife to come from the same status or background as me. It doesn't matter where she came from or what her background is… All of that isn't important to me, because the most important thing to me is that I love her."
'I love her…' Those three little words caused Sophia's face to darken.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Jeremy, why don't you underst—"
"I understand everything now. I understand why you volunteered to help me out back then," interrupted Jeremy impatiently. "You say you're helping me out as a friend, but you never planned to revoke our marriage from the start. Don't make me hate you completely when I've lost the gratitude I felt for you already."
Sophia's heart ached when she heard the word 'hate' from the lips of the man she had been secretly loving for the past 10 years. After all, it took her a lot of courage to finally tell him how she felt, and all she got in return was his annoyance and hate.
After a long while, she suddenly smiled bitterly as though she had given up. "Sorry to disappoint you, Jeremy. Think nothing of it, then."
"Jeremy, you say you love Corinne. You should know how much it hurts to not have your feelings returned, right?!" screamed Sophia a little hysterically. "I love you as much as you love Corinne. And we're never going to see each other again after revoking our marriage. Even if you don't have feelings for me, can we at least have a last meal together seeing as we used to be friends before? Please, Jeremy, I beg of you!"
Jeremy frowned. After giving it some thought, he finally said, "If you insist on having one last meal together, we can eat after we've revoked our marriage."
Sophia laughed self-deprecatingly. "I never knew you hated me this much, Jeremy. Heh… Fine. Let's have the meal together after we've revoked our marriage. At least we have a clear end to our relationship."
The only response she got from Jeremy after that was calm silence.

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...
