Corinne got up and ran out, worried that Jeremy might get in the car and leave if she was too late.
Annie looked out of the glass window and chased after her too.
"Mister!"
Jeremy was about to lean over to get into the car when he heard a familiar voice. He then stopped and turned, only to see Corinne trotting toward him quickly and jumping slightly to hug him as soon as she came up to him.
Jeremy positioned his body to support her and grasped her firmly. "Why are you here at this hour?"
Corinne wrapped her hands affectionately around his neck. "Waiting for you at home bored the hell out of me, so I decided to come fetch you once you get off work!"
Jeremy's stern black eyes were filled with warmth. "Fetch me from work? That virtuous, huh?"
Corinne rested her head on the man's shoulder and snorted, "Aren't you happy?"
Jeremy smiled. "Yes, I am. It's not often that my woman will fetch me on her own accord, but you can't just leave home like this in your condition. Just wait for me at home next time. I'll go home straight after work."
Corinne tightened her hug on his neck and refused. "What's wrong with my current condition? I'm pregnant, not sick! And besides, I'm not that fragile. The doctor said it's good for the baby if the mother doesn't laze around. That way, our child will be healthy and strong!"
The man frowned. He was not worried about her exerting herself with her daily movement, but his main fear was that something might happen to her outside. After all, a lot of people were targeting the Holdens, and he was worried that she might be in danger if those people targeted her.
Jeremy could not do anything about it, so he held her and placed his palms on her head. He did not want to be too stern with her for the moment and felt that it would be better for her to talk about it once they return home.
The security guards who escorted Jeremy out were shocked. They had been in the company for many years, but they had never seen such a gentle expression on his face before. It was truly an eye-opening moment for them.

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...
