Corinne shook her head. "I don't know you, so how can I hate you? Mister Maxwell, I don't have any memory of you at all, so no, I don't hate you. But I don't like you, and I don't want to have anything to do with you."
Maxwell looked at Corinne with pain in his eyes. However, he also felt that that moment was the happiest he had been in the past 20 years.
After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Corinne, you and your mother are so alike. She also talks to me like that."
Corinne frowned and rolled her eyes in disgust. "Don't bring up my mother! You're not worthy to talk about her!"
Maxwell was not surprised by her reaction; Lucas also said the same thing to him before. He sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry. I…"
Corinne did not have the patience to listen to his useless explanations anymore.
"I don't want to hear any of your explanations! I only came because Sunny got down on his knees to beg me, so you should keep living for that kid's sake. Don't do anything stupid again! Think about your parents! Seriously, one would think you'd be more mature at your age."
Maxwell looked at Corinne. She was less than one yard away from him, but he did not dare to reach out and touch her.
"I'm sorry… I don't know what else I can say but that. I know I have no right to ask for your forgiveness."
Corinne smiled sarcastically. "You're right. You have no right to ask for my forgiveness, nor do you need to. Mister Maxwell, take your medicine and carry on."
Not wanting to stay any longer, Corinne turned and walked out.
"Luna, wait!" called Maxwell.
Corinne stopped and said, "Mister Maxwell, I think you're mistaken. I'm Corinne, not Luna."
Helpless, Maxwell relented and said, "Corinne, can you please stay for a while more?"
Corinne did not want to but decided to stay regardless, seeing as she was already there with him. After all, she did promise Sunny she would help him.

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...
