Lucas' head started to throb with a painful headache. He could not believe how irresponsible Anya was being. He pinched the space between his brows and said, "I don't care what you're doing here. You're to go home this instant!"
Anya could tell Lucas was being serious. She nodded docilely as she walked up to him. "Lucas, I know I shouldn't have left Joey alone and come here… I promise I'll spend some time with him once I'm home. Let us go back now, Lucas."
Lucas remained seated where he was. "Edmund is outside. He'll give you a ride home."
Anya was shocked and hurt at the same time. "Lucas, aren't you going to go home with me?"
"I still have some unfinished business here so you go home first."
'What? So he didn't come to bring me home?' thought Anya with shock. She looked at where Lucas was sitting and discovered that opposite him was… Corinne! 'Did he come here to find Corinne?'
The more she thought about it, the more the whole thing seemed off to her. "I don't mind waiting for you to finish your business here, Lucas. I'd rather wait so that we can go home together."
"You don't need to do that. Just go home now. Besides, I'll be going straight to work after this," said Lucas impatiently.
At that moment, Anya could not come up with any more excuse to stay behind even though she really wanted to hear what Lucas had to say to Corinne so she simply said, "Fine… I'll make a move first."
Before she left, she looked at Francine pointedly. Seeing this, Francine was first shocked but then realization dawned on her. "Anya, Wait for me. I'm coming with you!"
Anya was speechless and a corner of her mouth started twitching. 'That silly girl! Why is she coming with me? I want her to stay and eavesdrop on Lucas and Corinne… Gah! What an idiot!'
Francine had no idea that she had gotten the wrong message. She linked arms with Anya and the two of them walked out of the mansion. "Anya, what's the matter with Lucas today? I thought he came to bring you home… No?" whispered Francine.

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...
