While Francine was spouting all that nonsense, Corinne had already sat down in the living room. She shut out Francine's voice and started ordering for takeout with her phone.
Francine was incensed that her words had no effect on Corinne so she raised her voice even more and said, "Say, why is it taking her so long to order takeout? Could it be that she's so poor that she has no choice but to choose the cheapest takeout?"
Anya could not hold back her laughter anymore but she quickly composed herself and said fakely, "Francine, don't be so rude. We should respect other people's lives, no matter how they choose to live."
Francine rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I'm just saying it like it is. A country bumpkin like her can never compare to us socialites. Even if she manages to seduce my brother using her beauty, she'll never have the same worldview or values as us so my bet is their relationship will never last long. It's time for her to wake up and get out of this house!"
Corinne did not pay any mind to Francine's ridicule at all. She had just finished ordering her takeout and at the same time, Jeremy received notification of the payment order. In the throes of passion last night, Jeremy told her all of his bank account password and even gave her several of his debit cards to show he meant it when he said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
Although Corinne did not really lack money, it was still nice to get to spend her boyfriend's money some times. Francine continued on mocking while Corinne ignored her completely. The latter leaned back on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Suddenly, a glass of milk appeared before Corinne. She looked up and saw it was Anya who brought it to her.
Anya smiled at her innocently. "Corinne, it'll take some time for your takeout to arrive. Why don't you drink some milk first? I wouldn't want you to go hungry."
Corinne looked down at the glass of milk. There was an obvious lipstick mark on the rim. 'Eww… How could she offer someone something that she already drank?"
Corinne calmly and lightly pushed the glass of milk away. "Thanks but I'm not hungry. You should drink it yourself," she said with an indifferent smile.

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...
