Chapter 28
When Corinne looked up in the direction that Annie was pointing, she spotted Jeremy’s slender, stern figure passing through a glass corridor on the second floor. Beside him was a tall, beautiful, curly-haired woman with a slender waist and long legs.
Corinne retracted her gaze. Her expression was calm, and so was her tone as she said, “Ignore him.”
Annie was puzzled. “You’re going to ignore that your husband is meeting another woman in private?”
Corinne sipped the juice through her straw and indifferently replied, “Yep.”
Annie had just experienced the scumbag treatment firsthand less than a day ago, and with the alcohol going into her, she could not bear to see something like that happen again!
“No! If you’re afraid of being controlling, I’ll catch him cheating for you! Hmph! I’m so disappointed in him! He’s already married, but he’s still out there seeing other women!” Annie raised her fist angrily and wentupstairs in a rage.
Corinne failed to stop her and could only facepalm. Since Jeremy was probably not going to do anything to his niece, Corinne decided to let the drunk Annie do whatever she wanted.
Far be it for Corinne to meddle in Jeremy’s private life. The two of them were married for show only, and it was normal for him to have a relationship with another woman.
Corinne leaned lazily against the seat in the bar booth and got sleepy as she observed the bar patrons” interactions. Had it not been for Annie’s call, she would already be midway through a nap after filling her stomach with lunch earlier.
All of a sudden, Aaron hurried over with a few followers. “Why didn’t you give me a heads up. wouldn’t’ve known that you were here if the manager didn’t spot you and informed me!”
The bar was an entertainment business under Newmoon Group with Aaron as its owner.
boss? I
Corinne raised her eyes and glanced at Aaron. “I’m just here to pick someone up. I don’t plan to stay long.”
Aaron sat beside her and asked curiously, “Who are you picking up?”
“A niece.”
“A what? When did you have a niece? Why do I not know this?”
Corinne could not be bothered to answer such an unimportant question and asked him instead, “Isn’t it still working hours? Why are you enjoying yourself instead of being at the company?”
Aaron kindly uncapped a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. “Socializing with part of the job, too! Besides, everything will be fine. The company is in capable hands!”

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...
