Chapter 217
Jeremy kicked the stone cliff face and propelled his body back as he untied the rope and landed firmly on the ground. The
movement startled a colony of bats.
As he stood up and patted the thorny weeds that clung to his clothes, his sharp eyes began scanning the surroundings. The environment at the bottom of the cliff was particularly harsh, and the situation looked rather bleak.
No traces of Corinne could be found. Whether she was dead or
alive, he was adamant about finding her at all costs.
He frowned, pushed aside layers of vegetation, and carefully searched for her. All of a sudden, a black shadow pounced at him from behind. Jeremy was keenly aware of the movement, and he turned to give the figure a thumping kick. He then saw a brown bear howling as it bared its teeth and fell over.
The brown bear seemed to be very hungry, and its eyes lit up when it saw Jeremy-a potential prey item. After a while, it got up and attacked him again. Nonetheless, his body was strong and agile, and it took him barely any effort as he knocked the brown bear to the ground with several kicks.
For the moment at least, the danger had been temporarily averted.
Jeremy had a bad feeling when the bear appeared, for he did not expect such a huge beast to be present there.
‘Could Corinne have been eaten since she’s nowhere to be found?’ As that thought appeared in his mind, his eyes turned red, and he took out a miniature shotgun from his back waist.
to aim at the brown bear’s head.
The brown bear seemed to be aware that its time was up, and
it could only shiver since it lacked the strength to escape.
“Don’t shoot the bear, Mister!” Corinne’s voice resonated
through the gorge in an ethereal echo.
Jeremy’s pupils shrank, and he glanced toward the source of the sound. There, he saw a dirty-faced Corinne standing not
far away with disheveled hair and tattered clothes.
Though she looked miserable, she seemed to be somewhat
energetic. Corinne stepped over some vegetation and walked
toward Jeremy. “Mister, you-”
Before she could finish her sentence, he hurried over, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. The conversation.
was interrupted, and her head was pressed so firmly on his chest that she had difficulty breathing.

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...
