With her hope dashed, Sophia laughed ruefully. "Don't get me wrong, Jeremy. I don't hold out any expectation for us to be together now that our marriage has been revoked. But can you please help me out with one last thing before you leave?"
Having been set up by her before, Jeremy's eyes rang with caution. "What is it?"
Sophia rested her chin on her hand and said in a troubled tone, "There's this guy who has been chasing me all these years. Since I've given up on you, I'm…actually considering accepting him."
"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it? Go for it."
Sophia blinked innocently at him. "Jeremy, if you really did think of me as your friend before, can you help me check him out? He'll be coming to pick me up later, so can you see if he's serious about me? I'm asking you 'cause you're a guy, and a guy knows a guy best."
Her request was not unreasonable, so Jeremy looked at his watch to see if there was still time. 'If Sophia has a boyfriend, Adam won't do anything to Corinne anymore,' thought Jeremy. Thus, he nodded and said, "Sure."
…
Meanwhile, back in the Riveras' living room.
Corinne received a photo of a flight ticket from Jeremy. The take-off time was eleven o'clock in the morning.
Her heart started beating excitedly when she saw the photo. 'Does this mean he has taken care of the problem? If he's flying back today, he'll be back here by tomorrow morning!'
She gripped her phone tightly and felt relief washed over her. However, it did not last long as she would only stop worrying about him after she saw him with her own eyes.
Corinne shook her head. "There's nothing in particular I'm craving for, so I'll have whatever you bring back. By the way, can you please get some cheese sticks for Joey on your way back? I'll text you the shop's address later. It must be from that shop since all the cheese there is handmade and has no preservatives."
Lucas frowned for a second. His heart really went out for Corinne.
'Despite her tough exterior, she's a softie at heart. Even though Joey isn't her child, she still treats him as her own,' thought Lucas. He was impressed by how compassionate she could be.
Not many would be able to be so nice to the adopted child of someone, namely Anya, who had hurt them so much previously.
Lucas' gaze softened. He then smiled and nodded. "Okay. Remember to text me the address later, and I'll bring it back for you tonight."

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...
