Chapter 626
A few days later, in Kanton City.
Corinne took an early flight to Kanton City to attend the World Hacker Conference. Now that she was in a different city, she did not have to deliberately hide from Jeremy; she could take public transportation without worrying she would bump into him.
Coincidentally, Xante was in Kanton City for business so she arranged for someone to pick Corinne up at the airport. Corinne did not plan to stay in Kanton City for long so she did not bring much baggage. She only packed with her the things that would fit into a backpack.
She shoved her hands into her pockets and walked casually to the exit.
“Corinne!” someone suddenly shouted out her name.
She instinctively stopped walking and looked toward the direction of the sound.
A man wearing sunglasses was walking toward her. He immediately took off his sunglasses to reveal his handsome baby face as soon as he was standing in front of her.
“It’s you, Corinne! What are you doing here in Kanton City?”
‘Ah, it’s Sunny!’ Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked languidly at him. Instead of answering his question, she asked, “If I remember correctly, today’s a school day so what are you doing here?”
Sunny blinked at her; the guilt on his face was apparent. “Umm, I have something urgent to do today so I asked the school for an off day.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Oh? Are you sure you’re not cutting class?”
Sunny was not the type to lie. He scratched his head in frustration and said, “Fine, I’m cutting class but I have a good reason for doing that!”
She decided to change tack. “You’re a student so you should be in class. Now I’m going to let you choose, Are you going to go back yourself or should I inform Mister Lucas of your whereabouts and ask him to send someone to pick you up?”
Sunny started to panic at the mention of Lucas. “Corinne, why are you being like this? I wouldn’t have told you the truth if I knew you were going to be like this. Please don’t tell my brother. He was injured recently so I wouldn’t want to bother him with things like this. Besides, this is none of your business.”
Corinne was surprised. “Your brother was injured recently? What happened?” she asked quizzically
Tsk! How in the world would that condescending man who thinks he’s too good for everyone to get hurt at all? This is a rare thing.”
Sunny pouted and said, “It happened at my grandpa’s birthday party. Jeremy threw a punch at Lucas out of nowhere and not one to take a punch for no good reason, he fought back. Then the two of them ended up in an all-out fistfight. Lucas came away with a broken arm and I heard Jeremy got hurt pretty seriously too.”
Corinne was shocked.

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...
