Bowen followed her to the dining room. Once there, he took a step before her and said, "Ma'am, here's your bre… Huh?"
What he saw shocked him for there were two women eating the breakfast specially prepared by the nutritionist for Corinne.
"Miss Francine, didn't you already have your breakfast? Why are you eating Ma'am's breakfast?" Bowen asked with a frown.
Francine continued eating while she said, "Oh, I didn't know this was her breakfast. The food has been sitting out here without anyone touching them so I thought the kitchen made it for my friend who has so graciously come to visit me. Plus, it would be a shame if the food went cold before anyone got to enjoy them.
She then piled on some bacon on Anya's plate. "Here, Anya. It's so rare for you to drop by our house so make sure you eat more, 'kay?" While doing that, she secretly threw a provocative glance at Corinne.
As for Anya, she ate one bite after another as though showing off to Corinne who Francine's favorite person was. Corinne simply looked at them with an indifferent smirk on her face.
After drinking some milk, Anya got up and pretended to be embarrassed. "Oh no. I didn't know this was your breakfast, Corinne. So sorry. I was kinda hungry just now and thought I might as well join Francine since she asked me whether I've had my breakfast yet… I hope you won't get mad at us, Corinne. I swear we didn't mean to eat your breakfast…"
Corinne raised her eyebrow and smiled for a second. "It's alright. You're the guest so you should eat first."
The word 'guest' caused the fake smile on Anya's face to stiffen. 'Ugh… Francine is right. She hasn't been back for a day but she's already acting like she's the mistress of the household! How dare she use the word guest on me to show off her position in the Holden family?! Pah! She's not worthy of being called Missus Holden. The only thing she's good at is using Jeremy's power to bully other people!'

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...
