Cedric agreed with Lucas. "He's right! Phoebe, you shouldn't have frightened my savior like that! Apologize to her now!"
No matter how proud Phoebe was and how much she was unwilling to apologize to Corinne, she had no choice but to do so since Cedric had spoken. Defying his orders would just make her seem like a bad daughter-in-law.
'Hmph! I'll show this stupid girl what I'm made of. There'll be time later to teach her a lesson,' she told herself.
Thus, she squeezed out a smile and said courteously, "I'm sorry, Miss Corinne. It was my fault for treating you, our esteemed guest, so rudely."
Corinne smiled. "I accept your apology since you didn't do it on purpose. No one told you who I was, after all."
Phoebe's smile froze. 'What is this little b*tch implying? Does she think I'm not important enough in this family, and that's why no one told me of her arrival? Ugh, I wish she'll just drop dead. No, I must not let my guard down around this sneaky little b*tch.'
Lucas still had his rose-colored glasses on when it came to Corinne, so he did not catch on to her sneak attack. In any case, it would always be other people's fault when it came to his precious Luna. He decided to let the matter rest after seeing Corinne had returned to her calm self.
He then walked over to the table and pulled out one of the chairs. "Corinne, sit here."
Unlike all the previous times, Corinne decided to take up on his offer to annoy Phoebe and Anya. She sat next to Beatrice, which was where Anya usually sat. Seeing Corinne taking up her place caused Anya's eyes to redden with anger. She nearly lost it but managed to calm herself, though she could not help but grit her teeth.
'F*ck. I can't believe Lucas let an outsider like her sit in my place!'
After Corinne sat down, Lucas pulled out the other chair and sat down beside 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...
