Even after several minutes, Jeremy said nothing in response.
Thus, Rosie whimpered, “Jeremy, you’re aware of the situation with my family business. If you withdraw your investment, my family business is done for!”
Jeremy’s tall, distant self stood on the balcony. Expressionlessly, he lit a cigarette and looked down at the distraught–looking Rosie.
“Holden Group isn’t a charity,” he remarked flatly. “It’s not the first time your family business has been in a downfall. Every year, the investment Holden Group has in your family business has decreased. I’ve been keeping an eye on them because we’ve been friends for many years. Today, however, you don’t think of me as a friend, and I don’t think Holden Group needs to help your family business anymore.”
Rosie shook her head fearfully and tried to explain herself. “No! That’s not it! How can you think that way? When did I do that? We’ve known each other since we were kids. You’re an important friend in my life!”
Jeremy glared at her from the corner of his eyes and puffed out the smoke with a stone–cold face. “Is that so? If you’re my friend, why do you keep hurting my wife?”
Rosie looked embarrassed and guilty as charged, but her eyes showed resentment. “Yes, we are friends, but I don’t think there’s any relationship between me and Corinne. I admit I can’t stand her arrogance, so I wanted to teach her a lesson…”
Jeremy glared at her coldly. “Do you think you’re in the position to teach my wife a lesson? If you treat her badly, it means you’re going against me.”
These ruthless, brutal words stunned Rosie.
Right after that, she lowered her head fearfully and said, “I’m sorry, Jeremy. I know I’m wrong, and I’ll never do that again. We’re friends. Please, don’t withdraw your investment.”
“You dare risk my wife’s life and hurt her. Do you think I’d still think of you as a friend, Miss Rosie?”
“Jeremy, are you…really going to fall out with me just because of Corinne? After all the years that we’ve known 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...
