Chapter 398
Jeremy looked up at the people upstairs and nodded slightly before putting his arm over Corinne’s shoulders to bring her upstairs.
Corinne did not budge, and she shook her head while saying, ” I’m going to wait here for the wings. I don’t feel like going up there to socialize with you!”
Jeremy did not force her and patted her head instead. “Okay. Take your time with the food then. I’ll head up and say hi before coming back down to you.”
Corinne nodded, gave him an ‘OK’ gesture, and then took a bite of the delicious meat skewer that he just gave her.
After Jeremy entered the villa, Zeke handed Corinne a bunch of barbecued chicken wings and had a meaningful smile on his lips as he said, “You did a pretty good job training such a difficult guy like Jeremy to be so submissive!”
Corinne’s lips twitched. “You’re a pretty odd guy. It’s your birthday, and you invited all these people over to have fun while you, the birthday boy, toil away at the barbecue just to cook some wings for them. Don’t you feel tired of making your own life difficult?”
Zeke was taken aback for a moment, and his handsome eyes stared right into Corinne’s pupils with a look of admiration.
“The others are worried about whether or not my wings turn out okay, but you’re the only one who shows concern about my well-being! I’m so touched!”
He then placed his tongs down and went toward Corinne to give her a hearty hug. Corinne dodged him out of disgust and avoided Zeke’s bear hug.
Zeke ended up hugging the air, but rather than feel awkward, his grin became even bigger.
“You’re right! Those heartless people are enjoying their fill of food and drink without caring about me! You’re better than all of them! Could you watch the fire for a bit and make sure the chicken wings don’t burn? I’ll be back soon after I take a bathroom break!”
Corinne was at a loss for words because it was obvious that Zeke wanted to avoid the drudging task of having to barbecue for everyone.
However, Corinne agreed readily because she did not want to go in and have any awkward conversations with people that she was not familiar with. She went to the grill, flipped the chicken wings over, and then brushed it with a layer of sauce.

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...
