Chapter 300
Jeremy was still calmly sipping on the straw, choosing to
remain silent. Anya thought he had said something, so she leaned in closer and tugged on his sleeves. “Jeremy, are you okay?”
No words, still. In fact, he did not even spare her a glance. No. one knew what he was thinking about.
Lucas could not help but walk over to Anya and put his arms around her after seeing her getting the cold shoulder. He threw an unhappy glance toward Jeremy before turning back
to face Corinne.
“Miss Corinne, I don’t think you’re a wholly bad person since you were willing to extend a helping hand to my grandfather two days ago. Not many people would be willing to do that for someone they’ve never met before. However, when it comes down to securing your interest, you’ll become this ruthless woman who finds joy in hurting the innocent, am I right?”
Corinne knitted her eyebrows in consternation. “Securing my interests? What interests are you talking about?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “The only reason you decided to hire someone to assault Anya is you think that she’ll take away your position as Mister Jeremy’s wife.”
Corinne was first stunned, then she suddenly smiled. “I’m
willing to let her take over my position as Jeremy’s wife if she wants it so badly.”
Jeremy frowned at this.
Lucas was a little speechless. Then, a mocking smile appeared on his handsome face. “Miss Corinne, doing so still makes you the suspect of the crime.”
Corinne’s face remained impervious. She looked like she was lounging by the poolside, even though her hands were in
handcuffs.
“Oh, I’m not doing it to worm my way out of this. No, no, no. I simply don’t want to be his wife. It’s more trouble than it’s worth so your sister can be his wife if she wishes.”
Jeremy, upon hearing what Corinne said, ground the straw with his teeth. His eyes darkened at the words ‘more trouble than it’s worth‘.
Everyone else in the room thought Corinne was putting up an act because seriously speaking, who would not want to be Jeremy’s wife? Who would not want to be showered with all the riches and power in the world?
At that moment, a police officer closed the notebook in his hand and stood up. “Mister Lucas, thank you for helping us out with the investigation. Might I trouble you to come down to the station with us so that you can tell us how you got your hands on the mobile phone?”

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...
