"You knew?" asked Lucas with shock.
"Yup," said Corinne nonchalantly.
"When did you know?" asked the confused Lucas.
"Not long after I met you."
Her answer confused him even more. "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Corinne curled her lips into a mocking smile. "Would you have believed me if I told you then? Haven't you always seen me as a wanton social climber? Think about it… What would you think if I suddenly tell you I'm actually the long-lost sister who you've been looking for all this time? You'll most likely see me as a devious woman who's willing to lie and cheat my way into your family, right?"
Lucas' immediately tensed up because he knew he had behaved absolutely horribly toward Corinne in the past. "I admit I did hold some biases against you then and I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, Corinne. Can you please accept my apology?"
Corinne put down her spoon and waved her hand. "No. Don't say sorry to me, Mister Lucas. This isn't like you. You should just let things stay as you are. You're Anya's brother and not mine!"
Lucas understood Corinne had every good reason to hate him but still he tried to convince her otherwise. "Corinne, we will forever be tied together by our blood so no matter what you say, I'll always be your brother."
Corinne leaned back on her chair and looked at him coldly. "Mister Lucas, you're right. We are related by blood but that doesn't mean anything to me. In fact, we're nothing but strangers who just so happen to have come from the same womb. We have nothing in common other than that. You might even say we are two people who live in a totally different world from each other."
"I know what I did to you in the past is really unforgivable and you have suffered a lot because of that but can you please find it in your heart to give me a chance to make it up to you? Please?" begged Lucas.

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...
