Corinne made herself comfortable and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the weekend, and I have nothing better to do since I don't have to go to work."
Zachary frowned. "You should avoid coming in the morning. I know you're agile, but there's a big risk you'll get caught whenever you sneak in through the window. You need to be more careful."
Corinne crossed her legs nonchalantly and said, "I'm bold enough to come here because I know I won't get caught."
Zachary felt somewhat powerless and remarked in a sour tone, "Fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like I can tell you what to do."
"Are you angry?" Corinne glanced at him.
Zachary had a sullen expression as he turned his wheelchair to face the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out and said, "No."
Corinne then uncrossed her legs and approached him. She turned his wheelchair so he was facing her. "Pfft! Where did you get the nerve to be upset with me?"
Zachary looked up at her. "I'm not upset with you. You're simply doing as you please, and I have no right to interfere."
"Is this what you mean when you say you're not upset?" Corinne lifted his chin playfully. "Your expression tells a different story."
Zachary retorted calmly, "My expression has always been like this."
Corinne chuckled. "Oh, please! I've seen you in all your expressions. Do you really think I can't tell when you're upset?"
Zachary felt a heaviness in his chest. Unable to stand nor recall the past, he felt trapped in a quagmire with no means of escape.
Corinne was tired of stooping, so she squatted in front of him and rested her chin on her cupped hands. "Are you mad I came too early in the morning? Or are you mad that I walked in front of the balcony? Maybe you're mad that I interrupted your alone time with Sophia?"
Zachary's irritation dissipated inexplicably when he gazed at her innocent and endearing demeanor. "I'm mad at myself for not being able to protect you and the child."
Corinne's lips raised into a grin. "Then that's justified. You ought to be mad at yourself!"

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...
