Cedric was taken aback. 'Why did you use that analogy on me...'
Beatrice smiled as she glanced at Cedric. "He's probably thinking about going out to 'fish' now! I guess the only time a man will stay put and behave is when he's in the coffin!"
Cedric frowned. "No! What are you talking about? We've been together for an entire life! Have I ever been that kind of person?"
Beatrice scoffed. "If you're not that kind of person, what's with all this nonsense you're teaching Corinne?"
Cedric was speechless. 'I'm only saying that because I can't bear to see a good young woman like Corinne marrying into the ruthless Holden household!'
He sighed, turned, and said earnestly to Corinne, "Our situation is different. Beatrice and I are childhood sweethearts, and we're about the same age as each other. We both know each other well, and we genuinely enjoy living the rest of our lives with each other. We're an open book when it comes to each other!
"But Jeremy is nearly ten years older than you, and you don't even know him that well. A man's true nature isn't something you can see through in a short time! I just think that you're still young, and I feel that you should be more cautious in choosing your life partner."
Corinne knew that the Riveras and the Holdens had never been on good terms, so it did not surprise her that Cedric did not like Jeremy. She did not take his words to heart and brushed them off casually, finding an excuse to leave. "Grandma Beatrice, can I take some of these cookies with me? Sunny wanted me to help him with his homework, so I'll bring some cookies there for him too."
"Of course. You can take them all! You're supposed to be our guest, but that kid still asked you to teach him. I'm so sorry about that!"
Corinne smiled. "Don't worry about it. He and I know each other, and teaching him gives me the chance to revise some of the things I've learned in the past, so I don't end up forgetting them!"
Beatrice was very appreciative of Corinne's help and nodded with a smile. "That's very kind of you. Go ahead, then! I'll have someone call you both when it's time for dinner."

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...
