Chapter 176
The call got through and, within moments, was connected.
“Hello?” said Sunny, his voice barely above a whisper. “Jeremy, I’m doing my homework. What’s up?”
“It’s me,” said Corinne.
“Corinne?” blurted Sunny, his voice raised in surprise.
He quickly cleared his throat and talked proudly, “Corinne, why are you calling me with Jeremy’s phone?”
“Is your sister at home?” she asked.
This baffled Sunny. “Why? Why are you looking for her?”
Corinne knew she should not talk with Sunny about Jeremy’s condition because he was still a child. “Umm… Jeremy needs her badly now. Can you ask if she’s free to come?”
Sunny thought something was wrong. “She’s not in the country now. It’s probably going to be a while longer before she comes back. Why does Jeremy want to look for my sister? Why doesn’t he call her directly?”
Sunny’s sister could never help out Jeremy in time, not when she was out of the country!
“Nothing. Bye!”
This evidently displeased Sunny. “Hey, you! Wait, answer my question-”
There was no time for Corinne to explain in detail, so she swiftly ended the call. Her plan was to invite the apple of Jeremy’s eye and let them have an enjoyable night, all while solving the toxin problem at the same time. It was killing two birds with one stone!
That would have been the case if Sunny’s sister was not out of the country.
Corinne sighed helplessly. Just then, Jeremy’s phone vibrated again. She thought Sunny had called back, but looking at the screen, she realized it was a call from Zeke.
Her first reaction was to call Jeremy out of the bathroom to pick up the phone, but the moment she opened her mouth, she remembered the complication Jeremy was in and quickly closed her mouth.
Corinne looked out the window and at the rain. She thought for a while and said, “Does Jeremy have ex-girlfriends?”
It never occurred to Zeke that this would be the question Corinne would ask at this time. He chuckled. “Why? Are you trying to get some information about Jeremy’s past relationships from me?”
Innocently, Corinne said, “No. I mean, can you help me to contact one of his ex-girlfriends to come and talk to him?”
At this moment, Zeke was actually in a club sipping a glass of red wine. When he heard the request, he nearly choked.
“Cough, cough! What? You want to find Jeremy’s ex-girlfriend to go there and talk to him? Geez, three people? Corinne, you guys…are into such hardcore stuff?”
At first, Corinne did not understand what Zeke meant, but her brain immediately processed it and realized what Zeke was talking about.
Her expression darkened, and her lips twitched. “No! He’s in a very particular situation right now. He needs a woman to come and-”
Before she could finish, a big hand reached over from behind and took the phone away. Dumbstruck, Corinne turned around and saw Jeremy standing behind 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...
