Annie's cute expression made Corinne hesitate. She could not bear to refuse, so she nodded and said, "Sure."
Annie was elated. "I knew you'd bring me along! Hehe!"
Jeremy was not pleased with the sudden addition of a third wheel. He frowned and looked at Corinne. "Weren't you just going to treat me to dinner?"
Corinne shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's just one extra person! Don't be so stingy!"
Annie leaned forward and got in between them. "Yeah! I'm your niece! Why are you so stingy about letting me join you for dinner?"
Jeremy glanced sternly at Annie. "Sit back down if you want to tag along."
His scolding prompted her to sit back down obediently on the back seat.
Jeremy then pressed the accelerator and drove off.
...
At a private kitchen, Corinne ordered a few of their signature dishes and handed the menu to Annie so she could order.
Annie took the menu happily and did not hesitate to order her favorite food and drink.
Once she was done, Corinne took the menu back and handed it to Jeremy. "Is there anything you want to add?"
Once they sat at the table, Corinne asked Annie to order first, and she only gave him the menu last. It was as if the person Corinne wanted to treat was not Annie instead of him!
When Corinne heard what sort of dishes Jeremy ordered, she knew that he ordered them for her. At the same time, she did not ignore the displeasure on Jeremy's face.
Her lips twitched, and she was surprised that Jeremy would be jealous of his own niece.
Corinne did not mind Annie's presence at all as she reached out to hold Jeremy's handsome face. She rubbed his cheeks mischievously and said, "You're thinking too much! Why would I think of you as my driver? No driver is as handsome as you!"
A smile appeared on Jeremy's cold yet handsome face, and he patted Corinne's head lightly. "Who did you learn all that sweet-talking from?"
Annie rested her chin on her palm and looked enviously at their affectionate behavior. She was reminded of her status as a single woman and lamented, "Sigh! I wonder when I'll be able to get into such a sweet relationship."

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...
