Corinne sneezed a few times during the journey home, and she had the feeling that someone was talking about her. She assumed that it might be her three kids, or perhaps it was Francine wondering why she had yet to return home. She did not dwell on it much and continued on her way as she entered the Holdens' compound.
Francine was busy entertaining the kids with a robot kite she had purchased earlier. When she saw that Corinne had returned, she said to the little children, "Your mom's back! Go tell her to play with you! I'm exhausted!"
Francine's complaint prompted the children to turn around. They immediately lost interest in their kite when they spotted Corinne walking in from the door. The three of them then ran up to her while calling out 'Mommy'.
Corinne was instantly swarmed by her three children. To ensure that she could embrace them all evenly, she knelt and spread her arms before bringing them into her warm embrace. "I'm back!"
Christine pouted. "Where were you, Mommy? You left us with Aunt Francine again. She has a date tonight, and she's been asking about you for the entire day!"
'Francine was the one who had been talking about me, then.'
Corinne looked up. A servant was holding an umbrella up for Francine as she walked over to Corinne.
Corinne raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you had plans?"
Francine shrugged and replied, "I called you several times, but you didn't pick up!"
Corinne's mind went blank for a moment. A blush appeared when she recalled why she had put her phone on silent.

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...
