Chapter 69
“He’s not just handsome. He has this super intimidating aura too. I bet he’s the mysterious guest invited by the school.”
Just as Corinne was going into the concluding remarks, she felt that something was not right with how everyone responded. It was almost as if they were all staring behind her.
She turned around to find out what was happening and was taken completely by surprise! ‘Why is he here?!’
Jeremy’s thoughtful gaze glanced swiftly across her as he walked forward. His tall body stood beside her, and he reached out to raise the microphone to mouth level. His low and magnetic voice resonated throughout the auditorium as he said, “Hello everyone, I’m here as Corinne’s family, and I’d like to thank the University of New Capital City for all the care that has been given to Corinne. I don’t have much time right now, so I’ll keep things short. I’m donating a laboratory building to the university in Corinne’s name as a token of appreciation for all that the university has done for Corinne.”
Corinne was speechless. ‘Is he okay or something?
The audience was in an uproar, and the university’s top management was all shocked. Everyone was stunned to hear that a building had been gifted out of nowhere!
“Whoa! Guess you don’t need to talk much if you’re handsome. You can just donate a building!”,
“He’s the most dashing man I’ve ever seen, and he doesn’t even bat an eye when he donates that building! Does anyone know who he is to Corinne?”
“He says he’s family, so I’m guessing he’s her brother? But they don’t look alike at all!”
“He’s young, so he can’t be her father, right?”
The University of New Capital City’s dean took the stage excitedly and said, “Fellow students, let us thank Corinne and her family for their generous donation. How about we give them a round of applause!”
A thunderous applause then ensued.
Ivanka’s face turned ugly, and she felt her pride being trampled on the ground. Corinne had stolen her spotlight again! By contrast, the three pianos that her father said he would donate earlier seemed to pale in comparison!

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...
