Chapter 539
“Corinne, you should know that you won’t be able to get away with what you’ve done once everyone sees what happened in the surveillance footage. Lucas will sue you for hurting Joey. I’m giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf ’cause after all that’s said and done, you’ve helped Jeremy with his family before and I see you as a friend so I would advise you to take the olive branch while it’s still being offered to you!”
The way she spoke was so righteous and affectionate that those not in the know might think. Anya was nothing but a kind-hearted and forgiving little angel.
However, Corinne saw through her. She smirked and said, “Miss Anya, your kind gesture is noted. However, I’m the type who’s willing to pay for my own mistake so if the surveillance footage showed what you said I did, then I would turn myself into the police station and sit out my prison terms no matter how many years it’s going to be.”
Anya glared at her and inwardly gritted her teeth. However, as the “victim”, she still remembered to maintain her big sad puppy dog eyes look. Her back was against the corner now and it would make her very suspicious if she still insisted on not going to the restaurant to view the surveillance footage. Even Lucas who was her staunchest supporter forever was starting to doubt her.
“Fine! We’ll have it your way!” She then acted as if Corinne did not appreciate her effort. After taking a deep breath, she added, “Lucas, I wanted to let Corinne off the hook this time since I’m worried that you’ll punish her too severely in your bid to mete out justice for Joey after seeing the surveillance footage.
“But since Corinne doesn’t seem to appreciate my kindness, and even implied that I was lying, it would be foolish of me to keep worrying about her. In any case, I don’t think I need to be merciful anymore so let’s go to the restaurant now.’
The doubt in Lucas’ eyes finally disappeared after hearing her say that. “Okay, let’s go then.”
By then, Joey’s nanny already arrived at the hospital so after giving her a few instructions, Anya could finally leave without worry.
Corrine, however, was wary about the sudden change in Anya’s attitude.
‘She must have something up her sleeve. If not, why would she suddenly not be afraid of being exposed for her lies? She knows the surveillance footage would show everyone what happened.

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...
