As she pondered, Corrine's eyes filled with a shallow sense of hatred as she looked at Anya. "That's right, you've won! But you didn't win against me. You're only victorious because you have a brother who is willing to stand by you, regardless of right or wrong!"
Brother-
Corrine never felt such irony in those two words before. Lucas was her biological brother, but he stood on the side of the person who drove their mother to a dead end. He even doted on and protected that person's daughter.
Lucas's intelligence was wasted on his work! Hmph, traitor!
Anya smugly reveled in her confidence. "Do you envy me for having a good brother? It's something you'll never have! Good fortune is not something to envy, as it cannot be obtained! Now, you better go inside and get rid of the child. Maybe I'll show some kindness and make sure my brother doesn't trouble you in the future!"
Corrine chuckled lightly. "Kindness, do you possess such a thing, Miss Rivera?"
Anya's expression stiffened, and after giving her a fierce glare, she turned around and shouted to the people behind her, "Edmund, Corrine says she's ready to go into the operating room!"
Edmund responded and approached to make arrangements. Corrine was then escorted by medical personnel into the operating room for a painless induced abortion.
Anya restrained her smile as she sat outside the operating room, patiently awaiting good news. Her eyes and heart were filled with a sense of almost certain triumph.
As long as Corrine no longer had that child in her belly, she would not pose any threat anymore!
She did not want her future married life with Jeremy to be disrupted. If Corrine, that despicable woman, returned with her illegitimate child and claimed recognition, she would be competing for Jeremy's affection and the Ho family's wealth!
She would not allow such a thing to happen!
However, just as she reveled in her confidence, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the hospital corridor.
Anya's face showed astonishment. "J-Jeremy, why, why are you here?"
Jeremy did not even look at her and walked past her, ignoring the objections from the medical staff. With a cold expression, he forcefully kicked open the door of the operating room!

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...
