Chapter 172
Corinne escaped from the warehouse and wandered in the wild alone without her phone. Her kidnappers must have thrown it away when they took her.
It was pitch-black, and the clouds obstructed any sliver of moonlight from reaching the land, making it difficult to tell the direction. Corinne thus tried to find a place to hide until daylight would come to find a way back.
This place was even worse than an actual jungle. She could have found a cave in one, but this wasteland had nowhere she could go to take shelter. Other than bramble weed, there was not even a tree that she could take cover in!
Raindrops started to fall from the sky. Without a place to take cover, she could only let the rain fall on her.
All of a sudden, she heard footsteps from behind her, as well as a flashlight beam moving at random.
Only the accomplices of the kidnappers were out here in the wild.
Corinne held her breath and crawled into the bush to hide.
The footsteps sounded as though they were getting closer as a tall man standing about a meter away shone his flashlight on her, its beam awfully bright.
“Come out!” rang the man’s voice, cold and threatening.
Corinne knew the man must have discovered her hiding place. Thus, she grabbed a fistful of mud in her hand and, leaping out, flung the mud at the man’s face in an attempt to blur his vision.
Knowing she could not defeat the silver-haired man because he was armed with a pistol, she had to obstruct his vision before she could attempt to run.
However, the man’s reaction was faster as he side-stepped, avoiding the mud, and grabbed her hand tightly.
Realizing her plan had failed, Corinne struggled to break free and swung her free hand to attack-
“It’s me,” came the man’s voice, calm and enduring.
They were so close to each other that Corinne could hear the voice very clearly. This familiar
sound…startled her.
Subsequently, she was pulled into a warm hug as two strong arms encompassed her.

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...
