Chapter 57
When Francine knew her grandmother, Pamela, was going to believe what Corinne said, she quickly cut in. “Grandma, don’t listen to her! Don’t let her lie to you again. If she was sick, why didn’t she go to the hospital? Why did she instead stay in this room with another man? Our family would never allow such a shameless woman into the family. Corinne Carew is a bad person. She didn’t just have an affair; she even stole Rosie’s watch yesterday. Ask Rosie about it!”
Rosie, pretending to be generous and forgiving, shook her head. “Ma’am, I’m fine. It’s just a watch, and it’s not really that expensive. Though, what Corinne has done now… It’s unforgivable. She betrayed Jeremy.”
Corinne’s face was as white as a piece of paper. Still, she managed a smile as she continued to ignore Rosie and the others. Pulling the blanket away from her, she tried to stand up. “You may choose to not believe me, Grandma, but I’d never do anything that would bring shame to the Holdens.”
It was haunting for Pamela to see Corinne trying to stand up with her pale face. She was going to ask Corinne to sit.
However, Sunny got impatient and walked toward Corinne, grabbing her by the collar. “Stop blabbering, you demon! No one is going to believe what you said. It’s better that you admit it and leave the Holdens before anyone kicks you out!”
Jason came over and took Sunny’s hand away. “Let go of her! Can’t you tell she’s sick right now?”
Sunny scoffed. “Oh, my. Are you trying to protect her? Seriously, just admit that you guys have something going on!”
Jason was not about to argue back because Sunny was still a kid to him. “We have nothing to say because we’re not having an affair! Mister Sunny, I suggest that you better watch what you’re saying. There is a price to pay for making false accusations.”
Before this, Jason had been nothing but genial and all smiles. However, he finally had enough and squinted sternly while encompassing a defensive vibe. This, no doubt, intimidated Sunny.
He mumbled, “Hmph! I wasn’t making false accusations! You two were hiding in here having an affair, and we caught you two red-handed!”

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...
