Corinne also knew that Maxwell did not really have feelings for Phoebe. After all, they slept in separate beds for years.
However, Maxwell still caused irreparable emotional damage to Emily. He betrayed Emily and doubted her innocence, causing her to flee and live a rootless life for many years.
Nevertheless, Melinda's words stirred something within Corinne. The value of a relationship was not determined by others; only the individuals involved could say whether it was worth it.
In her case, everyone thought she was stupid not to move on after her three-year wait for Jeremy, but she never wavered in her decision.
Melinda had already bought breakfast while Corinne was lost in deep contemplation.
"Corinne, they only serve sandwiches here. I got a couple for you and Joey. You guys should be okay with that, right?" asked Melinda.
Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Thank you, Missus Addison."
Melinda smiled. "No need to thank me. It's only sandwiches. Let's head back. Emily should be waking up soon. Having breakfast together will surely improve her mood. Since she woke up from that nightmare, she's been talking about you a lot. It was late at night, and she didn't want to disturb your sleep by calling, so she held back."
Corinne smiled and sincerely said, "Thank you, Missus Addison. You really are an amazing friend to my mom. I can't imagine how tough it would've been for her all these years without your companionship and care."
Melinda approached Corinne with the sandwiches and gently patted her arm. "Companionship is a two-way street. You see me taking care of Emily now, but you might not know how Emily was there for me, encouraging and supporting me during my toughest times. It's just something friends do for each other."

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...
