Corinne nodded again. "I want to go home."
Jeremy asked nothing else and gently hugged her shoulders instead. "Okay. Then we'll go home."
"We?" Corinne frowned. "Aren't you going?"
Jeremy gazed down at her. "No one is going to pay the bill for me if you don't go, so there's no point in me going."
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "I can transfer the money to you so you can make the payment."
Jeremy said sternly, "Don't bother. I'm in no mood to drink with them if you're not with me. I'm afraid you'll run away again."
'Seriously?' Corinne could not stand that reverse-psychology trick and felt as though Jeremy was trying to manipulate her.
"Fine. I'll go with you."
Jeremy smirked, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I know you're tired, but we'll go home as soon as I have a couple of drinks with them. I promise to let you sleep well tonight instead of making you toss and turn."
When Corinne heard the phrase 'toss and turn', her face reddened in an instant, and the blush extended as far as her collarbone. "Mister! You..."
Annie moved her curious head over. "What did you say to Corinne to make her blush?"
Jeremy raised his hand expressionlessly and pushed Annie's head away mercilessly. "Kids shouldn't be such busybodies. Don't ask around like that."
Corinne kept quiet.
Annie's head hurt from Jeremy's push, and she rubbed the area while pouting. "Hmph! I'm not a kid anymore! It's not wrong!"
...
By the time Corinne, Annie, and Jeremy reached Lunar Century Manor, Zeke, Lucas, Gerald, and Jason had all arrived there and were chatting over a couple of drinks. They then looked at the entrance when they heard the door open.

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...
