Jeremy stood up the moment Anya spoke, his imposing figure seemingly unforgiving as he walked toward Corinne. Anya's flushed gaze followed the man's figure, secretly hoping that he would give Corinne a hard slap.
Everyone watched intently, and they inwardly felt that the son of the Holdens was going to stand up for Miss Corinne and seek justice...
The man did indeed reach out his hand.
His rough, large hand gently brushed away a few strands of hair that fell on her eyes, his deep voice carrying a hint of reproach as he spoke, "Didn't I tell you not to wander alone?"
Corinne's eyebrows furrowed. "... Right, I forgot."
The man said nothing else. He took off his coat and draped it over the girl.
The kitchen in the Rivera household had its window open for ventilation, allowing the night breeze to blow in, which could easily cause a cold.
Corinne felt a weight on her shoulder and looked at the suit jacket draped over her form. At this moment, it was more than just a suit jacket to prevent her from catching a cold; it was also a gesture of absolute trust, a confirmation that no matter what happened, he would firmly stand by her side.
She was momentarily stunned before she looked up at the man again.
There was not a trace of doubt in Jeremy's eyes.
She had not expected this man to trust her so much. Anya's acting was too convincing, and she was also his savior. He had a filter of gratitude toward Anya, and she did not blame him.
Surprisingly, Jeremy did not fall for Anya's trick, which was truly astounding.
She relaxed and leaned tiredly into the man's arms. "Mister, I'm sleepy."
"Mh. I'll take you home to sleep now." The man patted her head gently, then turned with his arm around her shoulder, leading her away.
The unexpected turn of events surprised everyone. Was the son of the Holdens openly accommodating a murderer?

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...
