Sunny peeked out his head to have a better look at his niece and nephew when the two nurses took them out of the room. He was instantly smitten with them.
Corinne noticed Sunny after seeing the nurses off. "Why are you here alone? Where's Mister Lucas?"
"I came rushing here from home as soon as I heard you're giving birth, so I didn't see him."
"Oh." Corinne had no more energy to spare in asking anything else.
Sunny moved closer to Corinne and said with an awed face, "Corinne, you're really impressive for giving birth to twins, do you know that?"
Corinne chuckled drily. "You're too kind."
Not knowing the real situation, Sunny looked around the room before asking curiously, "Where's Jeremy? Isn't he here?"
Corinne's face instantly darkened when she heard the name. "Only the devil knows where he is now," she said with a scoff.
Sunny frowned. "What the hell? How can he not be here for his own babies' birth? He really has dropped the ball this time," he grumbled heatedly.
Corinne's face darkened even more.
Seeing this, Xante regretted letting him in. She cleared her throat and pulled him away. "That's enough out of you. She needs more rest, so keep your mouth shut."
At her touch, Sunny quickly jumped away from her as though he had been electrocuted.
Xante was understandably stunned by his reaction since he always loved to touch her every chance he got.
Sunny became annoyed under Xante's probing stare. "Ahem! Corinne, I'll be leaving now. I hope you get better soon. And oh, let me know if there's anything you're craving for. I'll go buy it for you."
"Okay, thanks," said Corinne with a nod, "but there's nothing I'm craving for at the moment."
Sunny glared at her. "Stay out of my sight. I don't want to see you."
Xante was visibly stunned. 'He doesn't want to see me?'
She scoffed lightly and sat down next to him. "So, you've finally got some sense knocked into you, huh."
Sunny did not like how nonchalant Xante was. "Heh! No matter how much sense I have, I'll never be able to jump from one partner to another like you did!"
Even though what he said was demeaning, Xante did not get angry. Instead, she asked curiously, "What's the matter with you today? It's not like you didn't know I wasn't looking for a relationship when you first met me."
Sunny gritted his teeth. He wanted to tear his hair out of anger whenever he thought about the half-naked Shawn parading around in Xante's office.
However, it finally dawned on him just how one-sided his relationship with Xante was. She never saw him as her boyfriend, so he did not even have the right to get jealous. Every time he lost his temper, she would only laugh at how immature he acted.

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...
