‘Does that mean Mister suspects I stole the watch like Sunny and the other people, too?’ Corinne thought.
Come to think of it, they were not a real couple; trust never existed between them. Despite feeling a little disappointed, she did not care too much about it.
She shook her head and answered calmly, “I didn’t take it.”
No one could tell what Jeremy was feeling because of his cold expression. He responded calmly,” Alright, then. Let’s go.”
The strong smell of food in the restaurant was making him uncomfortable, and he did not feel like staying for longer.
Sunny was shocked to hear Jeremy saying they were leaving. He frowned vehemently as he found it hard to accept having things ended this way. He swiftly ran over and spread his arms to stop. Jeremy from leaving.
“Jeremy, why are you believing her when she was caught red-handed?”
Jeremy’s long eyes squinted. “The watch didn’t go missing, did it now? What else do you want her to do?”
Sunny stubbornly argued, “But she’s a thief! How could you allow this thief to be with you?”
Jeremy was evidently displeased by Sunny’s words, and his
Sunny’s back stiffened, and all of a sudden, he was afraid to fear because he thought he was a righteous person. Stubbornly, he pointed at Corinne. “It’s…her…”
At this point, Jeremy’s face looked borderline cynical. “Say that again.”
Rosie quickly approached them and consoled softly, “Sunny, it’s fine. Don’t dwell on it anymore. Besides, I’m embarrassed that everyone’s upset just because of my watch.”
She took the watch from Sunny’s hand and walked over to if you like this watch, I can give it to you.”
She pulled Corinne’s hand and put the watch on Corinne’s wrist. With a bright and friendly smile, she said, “Here, you go. Think of it as a present to commemorate our first meeting.”
Sunny furrowed his eyebrows and said unhappily,
She gave him a helpless look. “Sunny, don’t say that. I trust Corinne didn’t do it on purpose!”
Sunny was feeling sorry for her and murmured, “Rosie, you’re too kind.”
Rosie panicked. “My watch!”
Sunny was infuriated. “Corinne, what did you do?!”
Peacefully as she was, she drew out some tissues to wipe her wrist and every finger that touched the watch like she had touched something disgusting. After that, she threw away the tissues and said to Jeremy, “Honey, you don’t have to buy me a watch anymore. Just help me to pay back. Miss Sutton’s watch to her.”
Without stopping, she turned around and left the restaurant.
Rosie’s friendly facade fell at that moment as she said angrily, “Jeremy, how could Corinne do that?”.
Jeremy looked at Corinne leaving dashingly and felt rather satisfied.
His expression hardened, however, as he turned to look at Rosie. He said, “She’s too childish, Why- don’t you tell Tommy how much the watch is, and he’ll transfer ten times the amount back to you. for the watch.”
Rosie was stunned and hurt. “Jeremy, we’ve known each other for so many years. You know I don’t care about money! The watch means a lot to more. Isn’t Corinne a little too much?”

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...
