Corinne still wanted to say something when Lucas shushed her with a finger on her lips. "Listen to me. All you need to do now is rest. Otherwise, how will you have the energy to look after your babies later?" he asked.
Corinne had no comeback for that.
Not giving her a chance to come up with anything, Lucas ordered, "Xante, you stay here with her and make sure she takes a rest. Aaron, Miss Annie, please follow me out. It's best not to have too much crowding in her room."
Everyone agreed with his arrangement, so they all left except for Xante.
The hospital room finally became quiet. Xante bent down and straightened out Corinne's blanket. "Boss, you should take a nap while you can. You'll get to see the babies after you wake up."
Corinne's eyelids started to drop. She felt like she had not slept for the longest time, and she was dog-tired. "Wake me up if Jeremy comes."
A complicated look flashed across Xante's eyes. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Sure thing, boss."
Reassured, Corinne closed her eyes and gave in to sleep.
…
Outside the hospital room, Lucas said to Aaron and Annie seriously, "I have to stay in the hospital with Corinn, but I've asked my man to find Jeremy's whereabouts. Aaron, you should do the same. That way, we can find him faster. We must find out where that b*stard has taken the baby before Corinne realizes he and the baby are gone!"
Aaron thought the same too, so he nodded solemnly and said, "Alright. I'll look for him too with my men."
Annie pouted. "I'll do what I can too. I'll go to the Holdens now to see if Uncle Jeremy has been back."
"Okay! Call me immediately if there's any news about him," said Lucas.
When she arrived, the servant led her into the yard where Francine was accompanying Pamela to water the flowers.
Not wanting to worry Pamela, Annie greeted her casually before pulling Francine aside.
"What are you doing here? Is there something I can help you with?" asked Francine curiously.
"Shh. Francine, has Uncle Jeremy been back here?" whispered Annie.
Francine frowned. "Jeremy? No, he hasn't. Why?"
Annie's face fell with disappointment. "Are you sure about that?"

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...
