Lucas frowned when he saw the sandwich. "It's already so late in the morning and you haven't had your breakfast yet?"
Being really hungry, Corinne picked up the sandwich and took a bite before saying, "Yeah. It's a long story. A lot of things happened that prevented me from having my breakfast in peace. You have no idea what I had to go through to be able to eat this sandwich right now. You probably had your breakfast already so forgive me for not offering you any."
Lucas did not mind because he did not come here to eat. More importantly, he was worried for her. "You're pregnant, Corinne. A plate of sandwiches is hardly nutritious enough to grow a healthy baby. Not to mention you should have your breakfast earlier."
"Like I said, something happened to prevent me from having breakfast earlier. Besides, it's going to be lunchtime soon," said Corinne nonchalantly.
Lucas checked the time on his wristwatch. "It won't be lunchtime for another two more hours. Don't tell me you're going to go hungry until then."
Corinne waved the sandwich in front of him. "Hello, I'm eating, aren't I?"
Lucas frowned and turned to look at Bowen accusingly. "Is this how you all have been taking care of her all this while?"
Bowen did not get why Lucas was so angry but even so, he kept his tone polite as he answered, "Mister Lucas, things are not as they seem. All the ingredients are delivered to the kitchen three times a day and according to mealtimes. This morning, the kitchen along with the nutritionist prepared a very lavish breakfast spread for Ma'am but due to some reason… she didn't get to eat it. And since the ingredients for lunch haven't been delivered yet, the kitchen can only make the sandwich with what they have…"
Lucas looked at the plain sandwich in Corinne's hand before turning back to ask Bowen, "Then does the kitchen have any oatmeal and dried nuts or berries?"
"Yes, the kitchen does keep a supply of grains and dry foods in the pantry. Only fresh vegetables, meat, and seafood are freshly delivered three times a day so the kitchen doesn't keep any stock of those ingredients."
Lucas stood up and said, "Great. Prepare the oatmeal and dried nuts or berries for me. I'm going to use them to cook something."

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...
