Xante's expression remained neutral when she saw Sunny. Pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses, she said, "She's sleeping right now. Come back later."
Sunny was not stubborn enough to barge in. Instead, he asked gravely, "Has the baby been delivered? Is she okay?"
At the thought of the complicated situation at hand, Xante sighed and answered, "She's okay, I guess."
"Oh," said Sunny. He then went to sit in the hospital corridor to wait for Corinne to wake up.
Xante was actually surprised by that. 'Rare to see him cooperate like this. Is this the Sunny I know?' she thought.
She stared at him with narrowed eyes for a while before closing the door.
Corinne was awake by the time Xante went back to check on her. Sunny's knocking on the door must have woken her up.
She opened her eyes slowly, looked at Xante hopefully, and asked hoarsely, "Who was it?"
Xante frowned. "It was Sunny. Not Mister Jeremy."
Corinne's eyes dimmed. Even though she had fallen asleep before, it was not a deep one. "Xante, what time is it now?"
Xante checked the time. "A little past six o'clock at night."
"Oh."
The two nurses took turns to show Corinne her babies.
Corinne was so weak that she could not even raise her hand, so she did not dare hold the babies for fear of dropping them.
A rush of warmth flooded her heart when she saw the babies in the swaddle. They looked so small like some kind of hairless animal. They had taken after their stoic dad in terms of their eyes and noses.
Corinne's chest tightened again at the thought of Jeremy. She felt like she could not breathe.
Since the babies could not leave the incubator for long, the nurses picked them up again. "We'll bring the babies to you again tomorrow. They have to go back to the incubator now."
Corinne looked longingly at the babies before allowing them to bring the babies back with a nod.

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...
