The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 424
Chapter 424
Although the Carews lived in a decent residential area and always used expensive items which gave people the impression that they were quite rich it was all a lie. Their lives were not as glamorous as they made it out to be.
Marvin inherited some properties from the older generation, but those properties were not in prime locations. It would be difficult for him to sell them should he need some cash.
Over the years, Marvin rented out those properties to other people, but the rent received was only a drop in the bucket for his family’s expenses; it was not enough to satisfy the family’s vanity and their penchant for keeping up with the Joneses.
Previously, they could count on Sherlyn’s acting money to live a glamorous life but now she was canceled and could no longer get an acting job. In other words, they were doing nothing but frittering away whatever little fortune they had left.
The engagement gifts given by Jeremy were their only hope to continue living their glamorous life so it stood to reason they would be unwilling to let Corinne take them back.
Marvin tried his hardest to free himself from his youngest daughter’s restraint. However, no matter how much force he exerted, he could not shake free from her. He – who always treated women as less than would never stand for this kind
of humiliation.
“You ungrateful child! Isn’t it enough that you forgot all about me after you married into a wealthy family but now you want to take back the engagement gifts? Well, let me tell you
2/3
something, don’t even think about it! Since time immemorial, the engagement gifts were given to the bride’s parents and do you know why? It’s because the father alone has the right to decide how the engagement gifts would be used so you better let go of my hand now!”
Instead of letting him go, Corinne tightened her grip around Marvin’s wrist. “Mister Carew, I’m going to ask you one last time. Are we or are we not going to have a little talk in private?
Marvin gritted his teeth in pain, feeling that the bones in his wrist were about to be crushed. He never knew Corinne — who seemed so powerless to him was so strong.

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...
