Lucas stared fixedly at Corinne for a while before finally, politely but coldly, saying, "Miss Corinne, what you said only applies to kids of regular folks and not for kids born into the Rivera family. Those that carry the Rivera name, like Sunny himself, are tasked with a great burden on their shoulder. Thus, he can't just do whatever he wants. Do you understand now?"
What Corinne hated the most was the way Lucas thought he was better than everybody else just because he was lucky enough to be born into a wealthy and prominent family. "We're all humans on this earth. No one is better than anybody else! You say he's tasked with a great burden on his shoulder but have you ever asked if he wanted that?
No matter how self-righteous you made the whole thing sound, it still doesn't make it right for you to impose your wishes on another person! I used to think life would be better for me if I was born into a wealthy family. Then I could do whatever I wish to do without ever having to worry about making ends meet. Well, you've certainly proved me wrong. I would rather live a life of poverty if it meant I get to choose what I want to do with my life!"
Lucas's eyes turned ice cold while his face flickered with displeasure. "Are you done talking? If you are, then I highly suggest you leave this room this instant."
Corinne was not done. She smirked and asked, "Mister Lucas if you think your disciplinary method is so great, why does it seem you're not happy with the way Sunny has turned out? Have you ever asked yourself that question?
"You should since you're the one who single-handedly raised him to become who he is. When you berate him for how he turned out, it's equivalent to you berating yourself for failing to bring him up properly. Don't you see just how fallible you are too? So how can you ask Sunny to be perfect?"
Lucas frowned. She managed to hit a sore spot of his. His face darkened and his lips were drawn into a tight line.

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...
