'Moonlight? What a beautiful name. The color does remind me of the moonlight. I've never heard of this flower before… It must be very rare,' thought Corinne.
Corinne stared at the field of flowers as though in a trance. After a while, she asked, "Why are you putting the fertilizer yourself? Don't you have a gardener to do it for you?"
"They're my wife's favorite flower, and they're very picky, you know. They'll only grow if given the right temperature, humidity, soil acidity, and as such. I'm worried the gardener won't do the job well, so I have taken it upon myself to take care of it."
'Wife? Is he talking about Anya's mother? Ugh, does he think doing this makes him seem like a romantic? Things wouldn't have ended up like this if this old man treated my mom half of how he treated Anya's mom! What a hypocrite he is!'
Corinne would inevitably get angry whenever she thought of how her mother was betrayed by the Riveras. 'It wouldn't hurt as much if the betrayal came from other people, but how could her own husband team up with others to bully her? That makes him no better than animals!'
At that thought of that, Corinne's face darkened. She laughed coldly and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but why don't you spend this time with your wife instead of putting fertilizers on the flower? Wouldn't that better show her how much you love her?"
Maxwell was a little taken aback by Corinne's words. She was the first person who dared to speak so bluntly with him. 'So she's not as mature as I thought her to be… And why is she glaring at me like I've just killed her mother?'
He could not figure out why Corinne was so hostile toward him, but not wanting to argue with her, he simply nodded and said, "You're right. But call me young or call me foolish—some things are just too late to do."
Corinne was dumbfounded. 'Too late? What does he mean by that?'
"There you are, Corinne. You lying piece of sh*t!" Sunny suddenly popped into her sight, pointing and cursing at her.

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...
