After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked up and noticed Corinne walking toward him. "What's the matter? Don't you like the firework show?"
Corinne sat beside him and said nonchalantly, "I do, but it was getting kinda boring. It was just one beautiful explosion after another, so I decided to come in."
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and hugged her. "Did something happen? Why do you sound so unhappy?"
Corinne was indeed unhappy with him for being on the phone for so long. "Mister, what did Anya say to you?"
"She wanted me to visit Joey 'cause he's having a fever."
"Then why are you still here?" Corinne asked with a scoff.
Jeremy could hear the sarcasm in her voice. "Why would I go there? It's not like I can cure him. Besides, I've asked my men to get the best doctor in the city to check on Joey."
"Are you sure you don't know how to cure people?" asked Corinne with a sarcastic smile.
"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Jeremy questioned with a raise of his eyebrow.
"Well, I'm pretty sure you're the only one who can cure Miss Anya's lovesickness."
The smile disappeared from Jeremy's face, replaced by a frown. He could tell Corinne was mocking him, so he gazed solemnly into her eyes before pulling her into a tight embrace. Stroking her hair, he said, "I know this is on me…but I promise you I'm only concerned about their safety and nothing else."
Corinne fit perfectly against Jeremy's body. Listening to the rhythmic gentle beating of his heart gave her a sense of comfort so great that she nearly fell asleep.

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...
