Chapter 697
Everyone’s expectant gazes gradually dulled with disappointment, mixed with a hint of frustration as if they had been played with. The servants of the Riveras started to snap in frustration.
“There’s no movement at all. How can there be any sign of coming back to life?”
“Don’t trust her! She’s just playing tricks!”
“The boy no longer breathes. How could he come back to life just by swallowing some mysterious pill? If that was possible, hospitals would’ve closed down long ago!”
“That’s right! She exaggerated to give herself a chance. That woman is clearly toying with us!”
Lucas’ expression darkened, as the situation unfolded as expected. He squinted at Corinne, waiting to see if she would feel ashamed.
Anya saw the result she had hoped for and secretly chuckled. Then, she cried with sorrow. “Corinne, have you had enough? My Joey has already passed, yet you continue to torment his body! Just hurt me if you’re so bitter, but don’t torment my child anymore!”
Corinne remained silent, her eyebrows furrowed as she fixed her gaze on the child that laid the ground, hoping he could come back to life. She refused to give up and reached out to pinch his philtrum.
With no response from Corinne, it seemed as if she lacked any reaction. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Anya decided to act as she pounced on Corinne out of sadness, anger, and agitation. She grabbed Corinne’s hands and vigorously shook her, pleading, “Corinne, spare my child, okay?! I beg you, I’ll kneel for you! Is that enough?!”
Upon seeing this, Jeremy immediately reached out and pulled Anya. “Hold yourself a little!”

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...
