Chapter 401
Corinne chuckled. “Nope, I don’t get it at all. If I leave and you
go back to Mister Jeremy, then aren’t you afraid that he’ll lose interest in you too once he gets tired of playing with you?”
When they reached that point in the conversation, Anya’s expression became proud along with a little touch of condescending sympathy. “That’s where I’m different from you, Corinne.”
Corinne. “Oh? What’s the difference then?”
“My family background is on the same level as Jeremy’s. My parents love me, and they protect me. Whatever happens, both my brothers will be my support and my shield. You don’t have people like that in your family, do you?”
The smile on Corinne’s face sank instantly and she suddenly realized something. “So it was you who went to the Carews and told them that I married Jeremy.”
Anya answered without sidestepping the question. “Bingo! It was me!”
Corinne remained calm as she asked, “Did you think you can chase me away from Mister Jeremy by goading the Carews into causing trouble for me?”
The innocent and demure appearance that Anya usually wore had disappeared, and she no longer hid her high-born haughtiness.
“I know it’s not that simple, of course! I just want you to understand your situation a little better. You have no backing,
and you married into a wealthy family without having a solid foundation. As time passes, you’ll only be viewed with disdain.
“I, on the other hand, have no reason to be afraid of that. After all, none of my family members are that easy to offend, so the Holdens would never dare to treat me badly and Jeremy won’t treat me badly either.
“Even if something bad happened one day and my relationship with Jeremy broke down, I would still be able to bear the consequences. My family will become my way out, and they’ll always be there to protect me. Do you understand that now? That’s where my confidence comes from!”
“So,” Corinne asked, “you’re relying on the protection of your family as your backing?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Anya replied.
Corinne smiled.

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...
