Phoebe poured a glass of pomegranate juice and handed it to Corinne with a smile. "Here you go, Corinne. Let me know how the pomegranate juice tastes."
Corinne looked at the glass and said politely, "Thank you, but it's best if I don't drink any cold drinks at the moment."
Phoebe was not going to give up that easily. She smiled again and said, "Oh, that's right! Drinking cold drinks isn't good for digestion. Not a problem. There's some juice without ice in the kitchen. I'll get the servant to get it for you now."
After that, she nodded at the servant standing by near them as a signal to get the juice from the kitchen.
At that moment, Sunny reached out and said, "Mom, you can give that juice to me. I prefer my juice cold."
Phoebe was stunned. She looked at Sunny, who had no idea what was going on, with a weird expression. 'Ugh, here he goes—making a mess of my plan again.'
The pomegranate juice had a load of saffron mixed in, and Phoebe was worried it would affect Sunny's health. She did not want to risk anything happening to Sunny since he was her hope for staying in the family for the rest of her life.
"Ahem! Sunny, have you forgotten we have an important guest today? Besides, you're a big boy now. You should learn to drink wine like your father and brother, not some girly drink like this juice here."
Sunny wanted to drink wine too but dared not. He glanced at Lucas from the corner of his eyes. He did not even need to ask him to know the answer to his unspoken question. "Mom, Lucas won't let me drink since I still need to do my homework later, so you might as well give me that juice."
Phoebe knew Sunny would not dare to drink without Lucas' consent, so she walked over and passed the juice to Sunny in resignation. "You should drink less cold drinks, too. You don't want me to get a stomachache, right? And eat more greens, too!"

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...
