In the kitchen of the Holden's estate, Corinne was indulgently placed on a clean countertop by a man who would not let her lift a finger. Watching the man's somewhat unskilled knife work while he chopped vegetables, Corinne leisurely swung her still tender and sore legs and teased, "Mister, you're a grown man, and you still don't know how to cook?"
The man glanced at her and retorted, "Do you think I need to know these things?"
Corinne raised an eyebrow. Well, for someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth, with clothes and food readily available, they indeed did not need to bother with such trivial matters as cooking and household chores.
Corinne crossed her arms and said, "Maybe you didn't need to before, but in the future, you better learn how to do laundry and cook!"
The man continued dicing the tomatoes with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Why is that?"
Corinne replied matter-of-factly, "Because if you want to start a family, you need to learn to take care of your wife and children!"
The man snorted lightly while cutting the tomatoes. "Even if I don't know how to do laundry or cook, I won't let you do it. I'll arrange for someone else to take care of all that for you. And as for me, I'll take care of you in ways that others can't."
Look at him! Why is he changing the subject again?
Corinne felt her cheeks flush but pretended not to understand, avoiding his topic of driving. "Well, I also don't like having people around me all the time, disturbing my life! Honestly, I'm not used to living in a house with so many servants like Mister's. I prefer the atmosphere of just family members living together, taking care of, and worrying about each other. Mister, if you want to be with me, you have to get used to a life without servants in advance! You can't expect me to do all the household chores alone; I won't be your free nanny!"
The girl continued to speak eloquently, her words flowing smoothly from her small mouth.
The man hesitated for a moment, raising his head to look at her intently, his eyes narrowing with a hint of deep contemplation.
This mischievous and troublesome little girl barely did anything, yet she was already trying to instruct and train this older man in various matters. But her words struck a chord deep within him.

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...
