Chapter 248
Jeremy walked in slowly and tossed the phone back to Sunny.
The man’s eyes were fixated on Corinne. He walked up to her, and as if caring for his child, he raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Even if we have different views, we can seek the common ground while reserving differences.”
Corinne was startled.
‘Seeking common ground while reserving differences‘?
It sounded rather daunting to hear such words from the mouth of this cold–blooded, indifferent
man.
After regaining her senses, Corinne’s lips unconsciously twitched. Did he hear what she said. earlier? Was he angry?
Rosie, too, was shocked to have heard how Jeremy described his relationship with Corinne. It was hard for her to accept it, but she did not dare to show it.
She could only explain with a sheepish smile, “Jeremy, I was just joking with Corinne!”
Jeremy slightly turned his slender body and stood beside Corinne in a serious manner, looking at Rosie darkly. “Inappropriate jokes aren’t funny.”
Rosie’s smile stiffened. “Uh… Jeremy, I’m sorry. I just thought that a girl who grew up in the countryside like Corinne has an easygoing, kind, and casual personality, and that’s why I was kidding with her. Corinne, are you angry?”
Corinne raised her eyebrows. Rosie, in pretending to flatter her, was actually criticizing her, and it was all about this. If she expressed anger, it would seem as though she was unsophisticated and unreasonable.
Thinking of this, her lips quirked upward as she was about to respond when the man suddenly raised his arms and placed them on her shoulders, gently squeezing her shoulders with his big hands as if signaling her not to speak.
Jeremy looked at Rosie expressionlessly and said, “That’s right. My wife grew up in the countryside. Honesty, kindness, and informality are her virtues, but this can’t be a reason for others to bully her for being honest.”
Then, the man looked at the petite girl beside him and slightly raised the corners of his lips. “My wife doesn’t need to make any changes; it is I who should accept her influence on me and change. my luxurious lifestyle. Isn’t that right, my beloved Missus Holden?”

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...
