'Gah! I hate her so much!' thought Francine. She stood with her arms akimbo and shouted, "Hey, you! Put on some clothes and get up from the bed now!"
"Why should I?" Corinne asked with a quirk of her eyebrow. She went back to her phone after throwing an indifferent glance at Francine. She was not surprised by her sudden appearance in her room because she heard everything that went outside the room just moments ago.
"You're asking me why? Well, let me tell you why! As a woman of the Holden family household, you're prohibited from staying in bed past a certain time. Tsk, I guess what they say is true. Poor people are poor because they're lazy," replied Francine.
Corinne chuckled wryly. "I married your brother, not you. What makes you think you can control me when he can't even control me?"
Francine glared at her and said haughtily, "And what makes you think I can't control you? You can't fool me into thinking you're really my sister-in-law since I know the two of you aren't really married in the legal sense! In other words, you're still an outsider and as an outsider, you have to listen to everything I, Francine Holden, tell you to do!"
Corinne smiled and nodded. "Fine. I'm all ears. What do you want me to do?"
Francine crossed her arms and said, "I want you to get up from your bed now and do some work around the house to earn your keep!"
"Work? What work?" asked Corinne curiously.
"Clean the bathroom, do the laundry, cook some meals… Whatever. Just do something! Or are you so blind as not to see there are so many things you can do around the house?"
"But we have professionals for that… so I don't see why I should do all that work."
"While that's true, you should still do some work as Jeremy's wife. If not, what's the point of him marrying you? We have wasted enough time talking. Get up now and mop the whole house," said Francine with a frown.

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...
