Chapter 280
By the time Corinne woke up again, the sky outside the window was already dark.
The side effects of the antihistamines injected into her system made her very sleepy, and she slept incredibly deeply at that time. However, her condition soon recovered somewhat, and she was able to sit up on her own.
As soon as she sat up, her first instinct was to look around, whereupon she saw the tall figure of a man sitting on the sofa in the ward.
She was startled, and when she looked closely, she discovered that it was Jeremy. He was sitting lazily on the sofa with a laptop on his lap. His forehead was supported on his hand, and it seemed that he was focused on some important work
matters.
“You’re awake?” His attention was clearly on the laptop, yet he knew that she was awake without even bothering to look up at her.
Corinne frowned and asked in surprise, “Why are you still here?”
Jeremy glanced at her, reached out for the coffee on the table, and took a sip. “Didn’t someone tell me not to leave even after they’ve fallen asleep?”
Corinne’s lips twitched awkwardly. “Didn’t I say that you can leave when Annie comes back? Where is she?” She looked left and right but saw no sign of Annie in the ward.
Chapter 280
“Tommy sent her home,” he replied softly.
Corinne’s complexion soured. Since Annie was gone, then Jeremy was the only one left with her in that room.
Jeremy cocked an eyebrow. “Something the matter? Are you disappointed that I’m keeping you company while you sleep?”
The phrase ‘keeping you company while you sleep‘ was rather unassuming, but for some reason, it sounded particularly insinuating when it came out of Jeremy’s mouth.
Corinne was disappointed indeed, but it was not like she could do anything about it since Annie had already left.
Corinne sighed helplessly, glanced briefly at the man, and discovered that he was using a fork to eat something as he was looking at the computer. She was hungry after sleeping the entire day, so she smacked her lips and asked, “What are you eating?”
“Cake,” he replied nonchalantly.
‘Cake? Since when did he like eating sweet stuff?‘
A sudden thought occurred to her, and she immediately glared at him. “Is it my chestnut cake?”
“Yes.”
“That’s mine! I was saving it! Who said you could eat it?!”

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...
