Lucas felt like the girl before him, the same one he watched growing up, was very unfamiliar. There were some things he did not want to dwell on anymore. He took a deep breath and said, "I hope you're not lying to me, Anya."
Not probing further, Anya breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt uneasy. It seemed like her brother was very disappointed in her, as if he did not trust her anymore.
Lucas felt exhausted after all the commotion. He no longer looked at his sister and turned to Jeremy and Corinne, saying, "Jeremy, you can leave now. Thankfully, Joey is fine. Let's consider today's incident wrapped up."
Jeremy sneered, "Wrapped up? You say it so easily. You've treated my wife like a murderer for so long, and you now want to let it go?"
Lucas frowned. "I just don't want to pursue it anymore. It doesn't mean that Corinne is completely innocent! Jeremy, are you not willing to back down at all?"
A hint of irony appeared in Jeremy's eyes. "I know what kind of person you are, Lucas—someone who pays attention to every detail. If you had even a little certainty, you wouldn't let my wife off so easily! It's obvious that you now realize your judgment was wrong, so you want to settle it peacefully!"
Lucas' expression darkened, and his jaw tightened. "What do you want, then?"
Jeremy gently caressed Corinne's head as if protecting a child, not budging an inch. "I want you to admit your mistake to my wife and apologize to her properly."
Lucas' eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at Corinne. "Don't push your luck, Jeremy!"
He, the esteemed young master of the Riveras, was being asked to admit his mistake and apologize to that girl in front of all the household servants? What a joke!

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...
