Chapter 458
Lucas said, “It’s because Anya saved you back then that her body was damaged by the snake’s venom and lost the ability to bear children forever! You should know without me telling you how much it would hurt physically and psychologically for a girl to lose the chance to be a mother from a young age! Besides, it’s Anya’s dream to be a mother since childhood! It’s because of you that she could never fulfill her dream! How could you be so indifferent to her now?”
Jeremy’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he said nothing.
What Lucas said was indeed the truth.
When he got injured 15 years ago, he was bitten by a venomous snake while he hid in a bush in a village to flee from danger. As the venom spread, he was on the brink of death, and he lost his vision; so he could not save himself.
He was saved by a girl who passed by. It was because she sucked the venom out of his wound that he managed to live!
Later, the girl found him with the keepsake he left for her. It was only then he learn she was the Riveras’ second daughter, Anya, who happened to be staying at the summer resort in the
countryside.
He also learned that because Anya did not manage to spit out all the venom in her mouth in time after saving him that day, her body was damaged by the venom, and she lost the ability to bear children.
There was no way for him to make it up to Anya for the regret he caused her. Therefore, he was fulfilling all of her requests and being at her beck and call all these years.
A month ago, Anya suddenly came to him in tears one day. She told him she saw one of her classmates was married and pregnant when they met at the class reunion. She envied her very much, and she also wanted to be a mother.
She said as long as she had a child, she would feel her life was very happy and complete, and she would not bother him that often anymore in the future to avoid causing misunderstandings between him and Corinne.
Of course, Jeremy knew it was inappropriate, but he felt guilty. Because of that, he said yes to Anya after carefully thinking over it for a few days.

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...
