Corinne raised her eyebrow and smirked at Lucas. "What makes you think I care about how you treated me before?"
Lucas fell silent. He hated himself so much for how badly he treated Corinne, and it would make sense if Corinne would not want to accept him as her brother. As much as he knew Corinne wanted to do with him or the entire Rivera family, he wished for nothing more than for her to come back home so he could make amends.
Lucas sighed and asked gently, "Corinne, what can I do to make you forgive me and to make you come home?"
Corinne was unmoved by his rare display of submission, even though it was so different from his usual arrogant attitude.
"Mister Lucas, I've said that I don't blame you for all the misunderstandings or how you treated me. To me, you were just a stranger who happened to share the same blood with me, and now, we're just acquaintances at the most. And as strangers, I find it normal that you'd be suspicious or even hate me, so there's no need to lower your pride and beg me for forgiveness. That's not a good look on you."
Lucas was speechless, and he never felt so lost before.
"Get it through your head that I'll never come back to live here or see any one of you as my family. This doesn't have anything to do with how you treated me previously," added Corinne. "From what I know, your grandparents thought I was a child born out of another man that isn't your father. They even took me to do a paternity test to force my mother to leave, so why should I take up the Rivera name?"
Lucas' eyes focused on this. "You remember what happened years ago?"
'How could she remember all that mess when she was so little then?' wondered Lucas.
"I don't remember, but I've looked into the matter. Right now, I only know the surface of it, but I swear to make the person who wronged my mother pay once I find out who it is! As for you, Mister Lucas, you and your entire family are accomplices to the culprit who forced my mother to leave."

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...
