Ghostlord immediately knew who Corinne was when he looked at the member code number displayed on her chest. He nodded at her and said, "Yeah. Hello."
His voice was altered by the voice changer to sound like a heavy mechanical sound.
Corinne smiled. "Why are you drinking here alone? You should go talk with other people."
"I'm not interested in doing that," Ghostlord said after taking a sip of his wine.
Corinne nodded and said, "True. I don't find it interesting either." She walked up to the chair that was positioned across from where he was sitting and asked politely, "Is it okay if I sit with you?"
Ghostlord nodded and gestured gracefully with his hand for her to take a seat. "Please do."
Corinne pulled out the chair and sat down. 'I'll take it as he doesn't mind talking to me since he didn't ask me to go away.'
She suddenly recalled something. "Ghostlord, I remembered you told me you're married and your wife keeps you on a very tight leash the last time when we were both online. That's why you weren't sure whether you can join this conference. So I didn't expect to see you here. How did you manage to get your wife's permission?"
Ghostlord — who was sitting languidly — suddenly sat up straight when he heard what she said and his eyes became unbelievably cold under the mask.
Corinne sensed something was off. 'Did I say something wrong? I was only trying to make small talk,' she wondered with a frown.
After a few seconds of silence, Ghostlord coldly said, "My wife and I have divorced."
He then finished his wine in one go and closed his eyes tiredly.
'What? That's fast!' thought Corinne but out loud, she said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that."

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...
