By then, the firework show had ended and a strong gust was blowing. No one outside the balcony noticed Anya's arrival because of how loud the fireworks were, so they were surprised to see Corinne and Jason talking on the sofa with Jeremy nowhere in sight when they came in.
Zeke sat down and asked, "Corinne, where's Jeremy?"
Corinne pointed at the stairs with her chin. "He went up to the guest room."
Annie sat beside Corinne and asked, "Why did Uncle Jeremy go up there? How could he leave you alone here?"
Corinne did not answer and simply sipped her juice.
Annie, being the easily distractible child she was, did not think too much of it. She quickly took out her phone to show Corinne the photos she took of the firework show. "Look, Corinne. Aren't they beautiful?"
Corinne looked down and saw Annie's firework photos posted online had garnered a high number of likes. She smiled and gave her a nod of approval. "Yeah, they are."
"Right? That's what I think, too!" said Annie happily. She busied herself with replying to the comments under the photos.
Lucas walked over gracefully, carrying with him a gust of cold air. He then carefully sat down beside Corinne and asked gently, "Why didn't you stay till the end of the show? Don't you like the blue fireworks?"
Corinne glanced at him emotionlessly. "No, they were beautiful. Thank you. How much did the firework show cost you? I'll pay it back to you along with the cost of tonight's dinner."
Lucas nearly choked at her words. "The firework show and this dinner are my gifts to you. You don't have to pay me back," he said with a frown.

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...
