Pamela's grip tightened around Corinne's hand. "Corinne, I know I haven't been the best grandmother-in-law to you in the past. I should've told you about Sophia, but I hope you can forgive me, too…"
Corinne smiled at her serenely. "That's all in the past now, Grandma."
She had moved on from the matter.
Corinne told herself she had no right to ask Jeremy for an explanation at the start of the relationship since they had a working relationship. Plus, they did not know each other when he got married to Sophia back then.
It was only over time that they started to have real feelings for each other.
Pamela patted the back of Corinne's hand lovingly. "Thank you, Corinne, for forgiving me. I've always known you're a kind girl. Do you know that Jeremy would frequently sit in his room in a daze after you left? Not to mention, he became even quieter than before.
"That grandson of mine grew up in a pressure-cooker environment on account of how strict we were with his upbringing. We pinned all of the family's hope on him, causing him to grow up faster than kids the same age as him. That's why he rarely shows his emotions to anyone.
"You, however, seemed to have broken down his walls. Only with you does he show what he's really feeling—whether it be joy, anger, or sadness. You've healed him, Corinne. He's going to think there's nothing to live for in this world if he loses you, so please move back in with him when he's back. We'll all be waiting for you, Corinne."
Corinne could not bear to make Pamela worry anymore when she saw the desperation in her face, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Grandma."
Pamela finally smiled. "Now that's done, I'll leave now. Your grandfather is still waiting for us to go back. Corinne, do call me if you need anything before Jeremy's back. Remember, our home will forever be your home. We'll support you no matter what."
Not long after that, a servant came up to Corinne, who was playing on the lawn with Joey, and reported, "Miss Corinne, someone's here to see you."
Hearing this, Corinne's eyes immediately lit up. "Who?"
Even though it was a little early for Jeremy's flight to arrive, she still thought it could be him. After all, his flight might have enjoyed good weather and thus arrived earlier than expected.
However, her hope was dashed when the servant answered, "It's Miss Annie. She brought you some gifts."

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...
