Once they arrived at the city hall, Sophia hesitated for a long while before finally taking out her ID card needed for application for marriage revocation.
The lawyer Jeremy brought with him liaised with the counter-staff, and the whole process went smoothly.
Finally, the counter-staff took back and shredded their marriage certificate, and that was the end of their sham marriage.
Tommy wheeled Jeremy out of the city hall.
The two of them were about to get into the car sent by the Holdens to go to the airport when Sophia rushed out and said, "Jeremy, why are you leaving? Didn't you promise me to have one last meal together?"
Jeremy's heart was not in eating with Sophia. He wanted nothing more than to return home, with his head held high, and tell Corinne that he had solved the problem. He wanted nothing more than to wait with her for the baby to be born.
However, as much as he was annoyed with having to eat with Sophia, he could not bear to go back on his promise after seeing how desperate she looked.
Barring any surprises, Jeremy knew he was not going to see Sophia anymore, and it would be good if they could end their decade-long friendship by having a farewell meal together. Moreover, doing this could appease Adam and ensure he would not do anything dangerous back in New Capital City.
Thus, Jeremy turned and asked, "Tommy, what time is our flight?"
Tommy checked his watch. "It's currently 8 a.m. right now, which gives us about three hours before the plane leaves. There's still some time for you to have breakfast, Mister Jeremy."
After that, she said anxiously, "Jeremy, my father said he'd take responsibility for the injury he caused you by getting the best doctors in Molomia to treat you. There's really no need for you to go back so fast. Moreover, I'm worried your condition will worsen on the plane."
Frankly, every fiber of Jeremy's body was throbbed with pain. However, the only way people could tell was from his pale face as he did not look like he was in pain at all.
"I deserve this pain. We're even now. I don't need your father to take responsibility," he said.
"But Jeremy…"
Jeremy must have guessed what she wanted to say as he interrupted her, "Sophia, I'm sure you'll find a man who'll love you very much in the future, but that man isn't going to be me."

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...
