Francine frowned unhappily and said, "All you care about is Corinne this and Corinne that. Why don't you ever ask if I'm okay?"
Bowen was shocked into silence by her sudden outburst.
Francine's recent humiliation caused her to lash out at Bowen and the servants. "Huh! You would do well to remember you work for the Holden and not the Carew! What an ungrateful bunch of jerks you all are… siding with an outsider instead of me."
Bowen thought it was wrong for her to say that but still he kept quiet. 'It's not like I'm purposely siding with Ma'am…. Miss Francine shouldn't have barged into her room like that in the first place.' The other servants thought the same way as Bowen — that Miss Francine had really gone overboard this time.
Francine went back to her room in a huff and the more she thought about what happened, the angrier she became so she decided to call Anya to vent her anger. Her call quickly went through and Anya's usual gentle voice could be heard from the other side of the phone. "Hey, Francine. What's up?"
"Ugh, Anya! Guess what happened? The entire household has been taken over my that b*tch Corinne. She thinks she can do anything she wants just because she has Jeremy on her side!" said Francine angrily.
"Francine… slow down. Tell me what happened. What did Corinne do to make you so angry?" Anya asked between gritted teeth.
After thinking about it, Francine muttered along the lines of, "She didn't really do anything to me but… everyone is treating her as if she's the mistress of the household while I get the short end of the stick. Moreover, she speaks to me like she's speaking to a servant 'cause she knows my brother will always take her side over mine. Ughhhh, I can't take this anymore."
"What? She speaks to you as though you're a servant? Francine, that's absolutely vile of her. Is Jeremy at home? Why didn't he say anything about it?" asked Anya in mock kindness.
"He already went to work and that shameless woman is actually still sleeping in my brother's bedroom. Besides, even if he's at home, he'll only help her instead of me! Anya, you have no idea just how obsessed my brother is with that woman right now. In fact, she has him totally wrapped around her little finger! Even a love potion would not be as effective as whatever she's feeding my brother to make her fall so madly in love with her. Why did you let her steal my brother away from you? Are you going to just stand by and do nothing? I really don't want a country bumpkin for a sister-in-law…"

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...
