Anya's eyes lit up when her mother mentioned miscarriages.
'She's right. We'll just have to sneak the saffron into Corinne's food at tonight's dinner and, boom! Her baby will be gone!'
However, since all of her previous plans came to a fruitless end, she did not feel as confident as she did last time. "But what if someone finds out it's the saffron that caused her miscarriage?" she asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. I'll just say I did it should anyone find out about it. I can just pretend I didn't know Corinne was pregnant, and that's why I gave her some saffron to try," said Phoebe smugly.
Knowing her mother had her back, Anya finally felt at ease.
"Okay, wait here, Mommy. I'll go get the saffron now. Try to put as much as you can in Corinne's food… I want to see her bleed out all the blood she has."
…
Meanwhile, in Luna's room.
Corinne was resting on the small bed with her head against the headboard. She scanned every corner of the room to see if her memory could be jogged. However, nothing called up a strong sense of familiarity to her except for the broken music box.
Suddenly, her phone rang. As expected, it was Jeremy video-calling in to check in on her.
"What are you doing now?" he asked in his deep, strong voice.
Jeremy was flipping through his documents while occasionally looking up at the screen. It was obvious he was busy, yet he still made time to check in on her. That was how worried he was about her.
"I'm about to take a nap right now," said Corinne sleepily.
Jeremy frowned and looked up from his document to give her a stern stare. "Have you forgotten what I said to you?"

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...
