Chapter 394
A hint of coldness flashed across Jeremy’s eyes as he heard Marvin’s fickle remark.
‘How can someone like him be worthy of being a father?! Just what sort of family environment did Corinne grow up in?’
Jeremy narrowed his eyes frigidly and said, “First of all, you need to live up to your position as a father to my wife, and then I’ll show you respect and accept you as my father-in-law. You’ve been incompetent in your role as a father to Corinne, so to me, you’re not even worth being treated as a human.”
Marvin felt intense pressure and guilt, still wanting to argue with Jeremy. However, as soon as he met the cold eyes of his son-in-law’, he suddenly felt an unprecedented fear and hist words were stuck in his throat. His son-in-law’s attitude toward him had changed completely compared to before.
When they met for the first time, the handsome and imposing young man still showed hints of respect and courtesy toward him, but all he could see in Jeremy’s eyes then was an abyssal coldness and a threat of danger.
That was when Marvin fully understood that he was nothing in front of that man. What little courtesy that he received from Jeremy was credited in large part due to his younger daughter, Corinne. Without her, he could not step foot into the Holdens’ home.

shoe-shiner or a bootlicker, he did not want to miss out on the chance to finally be associated with a first-tier family as an in- law.
Marvin then put on a fatherly smile as he turned to his
youngest daughter Corinne and looked cheerfully at her. He then explained to her using a gentle tone.
“Please don’t misunderstand, Corinne. I drank a bit of wine before coming here today, and I only said all those stupid things to you because I was drunk. To tell you the truth, I was just angry that you were always away from home.
“You made me so worried, especially when you didn’t tell me about your marriage! I rushed here to see you as soon as I knew that you were at the Holdens. Please tell your dear husband not to chase me, his father-in-law, away!”

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...
