"Yes! Drink it cross-arm style!" Zeke shouted.
Jeremy did not mind that, but to show his respect, he raised his eyebrow at Corinne to ask for her consent. Though shy, Corinne did not want to rain on other people's parade, so after a slight hesitation, she linked her elbows with Jeremy's, and the two of them downed their glass in one go.
Satisfied, Annie threw her head back and downed her glass in one go before leading the guests in a round of thunderous applause. The atmosphere in the room certainly reached its peak by then.
"Jeremy, Lucas prepared a special show for you and Corinne today. Which is so unlike him," said Zeke while clapping, and he smiled. "I can guarantee the two of you won't ever forget tonight."
Jeremy looked askance at Lucas. 'This guy must be up to no good…'
Corinne turned to look at Lucas curiously.
Corinne was Lucas' long-lost sister. He felt like he owed her for the many years he was not by her side, and for…all the misunderstandings that occurred between them. Thus, no matter how long it would take or how much effort he would need to put into it, he swore he would make it up to her in the hopes that Corinne would forgive him one day.
Suddenly, the sound of fireworks could be heard coming from outside, and seconds later, the light from the fireworks flooded into the room.
Zeke pointed at the spectacular show. "Speak of the devil! This is what I'm talking about. Let's go and watch it together!"
Everyone got up from the table and followed Zeke to the balcony. One firework after another burst forth into the dark sky before exploding in a shower of light. What was special about this firework was it was blue instead of the usual colors found in the market.
It took Lucas a lot of effort to gather so many blue fireworks because of how rare they were. Then there was the matter of safety too, since blue fireworks posed more safety risks than the other colors.
Initially, Corinne was disinterested in Lucas' gift to them, but after seeing the gorgeous shades of blue lighting up the sky, she could not help but feel awed by it all. Oh, how lucky was she to be able to witness such a glorious and romantic sight with the man of her dreams!

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...
