Chapter 76
With the call on speaker mode, the same police officer spoke through the phone, “Corinne Carew, someone had taken your wallet and phone. They’ve even used your name to book a room in a
hotel. Please come to the station now to clarify if the wallet and phone belong to you and check if there are any losses.”
Corinne replied politely, “Alright. I understand. Thank you very much, officer.”
“You’re welcome,” the officer replied.
Corinne looked at Francine pointedly after she hung up the phone. “Is that it? When is losing something a scandal? Francine, please enlighten me by telling me why you think the police are looking for me?”
Francine was stunned. For a minute there, her brain stopped working. ‘Why have things turned out differently from what’s planned? The police were looking for Corinne because she lost something?
she thought.
“Oh, Corinne. I’m so happy that you’re fine! I’m really glad that you’re fine! What a scare. I was nearly scared to death.” Pamela patted her chest to relieve herself from the stress.
Right after that, she turned to look at her troublemaking granddaughter and reprimanded her,” Francine, what’s wrong with you lately? Why do you keep making trouble? Don’t ever talk about these unvalidated things anymore in the future!”
The unsatisfied Francine raised a finger and pointed at Corinne. “Grandma, I didn’t make it up! Even Tommy found out about the hotel Corinne checked in today! The woman in the news was her! Otherwise, how do you explain why she’s wearing the same clothes as that escort?”
Indeed, Corinne was wearing the same clothes as the escort. However, she was calm and did not panic. “My clothes aren’t limited edition. It’s normal for someone else to be wearing the same thing. Though, why did you insist that I’m the escort?”
Francine snorted disdainfully. “Am I the one insisting on it, or are you really the escort? The hotel had a record of your stay, and you’re wearing the exact same clothes as that escort. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Try to explain that!”
Corinne put her hands out innocently. “The officer explained it on the phone. Someone used my identity to open a room in the hotel. I lost my wallet and my phone after I went shopping with you. I can’t find you and I can’t contact you, so I came back by myself.”
Francine smiled sarcastically. “Corinne Carew, you’re just lying to my face!”

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...
