After coming out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. "Let her sleep for now. You have my permission to wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast," said Jeremy to Bowen, who was standing not far away in anticipation of his orders.
Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. "Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma'am would be well taken care of."
"Good." Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down. He turned his head around and added, "Make sure she doesn't eat too much junk food or cold drinks."
Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally said, "Okay, I'll make sure of that."
Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed someone so much in his life. 'So this is how it feels to love someone so much that you can't even bear to be a second apart from her…'
Corinne's sudden disappearance previously had left an indelible scar in his heart. He was so traumatized by what happened that it had become a sort of neurosis for him. He looked at the closed bedroom for a while as though worried about the same thing happening before finally going down the stairs.
…
After Jeremy left, Francine came out of the corner unhappily. She had heard everything he said to Bowen. 'Bowen, do this for Corinne. Bowen, do that for Corinne. Pah! He's going to spoil her rotten.'
Francine did not understand why Jeremy cared about Corinne so much. How could Corinne, a country hick, ever compete with Anya, a socialite? Francine had been against Corinne from the get go. She wished Jeremy would marry Anya instead of Corinne. Therefore, she thought it was a good time to get rid of Corinne now that Jeremy was out of the house.

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...
