Chapter 254
After hanging up the phone, Corinne lazily leaned on the sofa and continued to watch the television as she ate her potato chips.
20 minutes later, Annie hastily arrived at the Holdens estate and dragged her into the car, insisting on taking her shopping to buy Jeremy a birthday present.
Corinne felt helpless. Why did she need to buy Jeremy a birthday present?
She was just an extra, playing the role of his wife with zero pay, yet all of a sudden, she had to give him a gift?
No matter how she looked at it, this felt unreasonable.
Downtown Commercial Street.
In a famous designer store in VK Mall, Annie sat in front of a glass counter, carefully selecting the dazzling array of delicate accessories.
“Aunt Corinne, what kind of gift do you think Uncle Jeremy will like more?”
Corinne stood aside and tried on a pair of sunglasses disinterestedly and replied casually while looking in the mirror, “I don’t know.”
Annie frowned and turned to look at her, showing a troubled expression. “Aunt Corinne, aren’t you curious about my uncle at all? Don’t you observe his preferences?”
Corinne’s slender fingers hooked down the sunglasses on her face, and she raised her eyebrows.” Why should I observe his preferences? What kind of rare animal is your uncle? Will studying him win the Nobel Prize in Science?”
Annie was stunned. She had never met a woman who had such a sassy attitude toward her uncle.
“As expected of you, Aunt Corinne. It’s this kind of indifference that makes people want to conquer you; no wonder Uncle Jeremy can’t stop wanting you!”
‘Can’t stop‘?
The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched. When did Mister even want her? Annie just liked to assume the bigger picture!
“Aunt Corinne, if you’re too lazy to choose a gift, just buy a piece of clothing for Uncle Jeremy. Anyway, as long as you chose and bought it, he’ll surely like it! Oh, that reminds me of a very stylish men’s clothing brand. Let’s go, I’ll take you there!”
As soon as Corinne took off the sunglasses and put them back, she was dragged away by Annie and into a designer–brand men’s clothing store.
“Aunt Corinne, what do you think of Uncle’s suit?”
Looking at the finely tailored high–end men’s clothes, Corinne was not impressed at all. She shook her head and said, “I think the clothes in his house are similar to these styles, and there are too
many to wear. He has no shortage of clothes, so he doesn’t need to buy the same style again.”
“Well, Uncle Jeremy definitely has no shortage of clothes to wear, but if you give him the gift, the feeling must be different! Aunt Corinne, it’s your husband’s birthday, and as his wife, you can’t be empty handed, right?”
Annie’s words reminded Corinne that she was playing the role of Jeremy’s wife, so she still needed to do some superficial work.
Well, she should give him a birthday gift casually so as not to be caught by the Holden family!
Corinne frowned and suddenly glanced at the billboard that said ‘Clearance Discount‘ in the men’s clothing store opposite for 30 dollars each.

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...
