Chapter 201
Sunny stared at the ear stud, and his anger disappeared immediately. Helplessly, he looked back at Rosie. “Rosie, I think you dropped your ear stud into the boot. You have to be more careful next time.”
Rosie looked at the ear stud on the doctor’s hand and shook her head sheepishly. “No, this isn’t my ear stud. I never wear this kind of ear stud…”
“Are you saying this ear stud isn’t yours?” Suddenly, Sunny became alert. “Did someone put it into your boot? Is someone here trying to hurt you?”
Everyone was surprised when they heard that. They had known each other since they were kids, and their families went way back. None of them would use this method to hurt their friends.
Rosie was stunned when she heard that. After a while, she realized something and looked at Corinne, who was standing in between Jeremy and Annie, in disbelief.
“Corinne, I didn’t do anything to you. Why did you do this to me?” she lamented.
Everyone was dumbstruck by what they heard as they glanced at Corinne in surprise.
Corinne was the only one they just knew, an outsider whom they barely got to know.
At that time, Corinne was yawning out of boredom. Hearing the accusation hurled at her, she looked at Rosie lazily. “Huh? Are you talking to me?”
Rosie felt hurt and angry. Her eyes reddened when Corinne’s attitude was still so ignorant. She said, “You’re the only one who touched my boots when I gave them to you to try out. Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?
“Corinne, I was kind enough to lend the boots to you, so what was I supposed to do that they didn’t fit you? Why do you have to hurt me for it? Do you know I’m a ballet dancer? How am I going to dance again if there’s a repercussion from the wound?”
With that thought in her mind, Rosie took a deep breath, suppressed her discountenance, and put on a smile as if she was generous enough to move forward easily. “Corinne, you don’t have to deny it so quickly; I don’t have any intention of asking you to compensate me. All you need to do is admit that you did it. We can talk it out, that’s all. For Jeremy’s sake, we can still be friends.”
Corinne furrowed her eyebrows as if she was looking at a fly. “Pardon me, Miss Rosie, but we were never friends, and we’ll never be. It’s unnecessary for us to be friends just because of someone. Most importantly, why should I admit something that I didn’t do?”
Of course, Rosie never wanted to be friends with Corinne-she merely said it aloud to make herself look good.
Corinne’s attitude was just what Rosie expected, especially when she looked like a poor victim who initiated a truce yet was rejected mercilessly by Corinne.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Jeremy, who said nothing from the start, with a helpless, irritated expression.
“Jeremy, did you see her attitude? You, me, Zeke, and the others have been friends for a long time. We all know each other very well. Do you think I’d accuse her without any reason?”

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...
