Corinne took a sip of her water. "Then tell me: why do you wish for Anya to be your sister-in-law?"
"Because she's beautiful, kind, and treats me very well," answered Francine confidently.
Corinne could not help but secretly laugh when she heard the words 'kind' used to describe Anya.
"So how is she good to you?"
"Whenever she sees a nice branded bag, she'd buy it for me," said Francine happily. "And if it's a limited-edition design, she'd still get it for me first even if she really likes one for herself. I'm sure a poor person like you will never buy me a branded bag."
Corinne nodded nonchalantly. "You're right. I'll never buy you a branded bag. In fact, it's not something I'd buy for myself either. The way I look at it, those things aren't worth the price they sell for. It's all a consumer trap set by those greedy capitalists."
Francine rolled her eyes in disgust. "Once a country bumpkin, always a country bumpkin."
Corinne smiled. "Then have you ever wondered why she'd give you all those bags without ever asking anything in return to the point of even giving you the limited-edition designs? Do you think she's doing it to make you like her, or for your brother to like her?"
Francine was stunned. She never thought about it that way. All she cared about was being able to show off to her friends the new bag she got from Anya.
"Are you implying Anya was just using me? Don't make me laugh, Corinne! She's the kindest and purest soul I've ever met in my life! Only someone evil like you will think she has an ulterior motive."
Corinne narrowed her eyes. 'My, she's a stubborn one, isn't she.' She then shrugged and said, "You can take your time to think about what I told you today."

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...
