Chapter 86
Corinne looked at Francine as her carefree demeanor dropped, revealing a more serious behavior. It was time to talk business.
“The only reason I came in to tell you all of this is that I want to let you know you don’t have to do all this just to kick me out of the house. When the time comes, I’ll leave on my own. Even when you want me to stay a second longer, I won’t.”
Francine was stunned. She asked curiously, “When the time comes? What do you mean?”
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know? The reason your brother married me is that he wanted to gladden your grandfather, preventing his health from worsening. Three months from now, when your grandfather’s health is stabilized, our marriage will end. At that time, my job is done. You can let whoever you want be your sister-in-law.”
Francine frowned as she found it hard to believe. “Why should I believe you’ll leave when the time comes? Don’t try to fool me. I’ve seen all types of women; they’re always on the lookout for new ideas to be with my brother!”
Corinne smiled. “Miss Francine, is there a problem with your brain, or am I not being clear enough to you? I don’t care how good your brother is-he’s not my type! On the contrary, I wish to be away from him as much as possible! I hope these three months will end as soon as possible!”
Francine looked at Corinne dubiously and entered into a deep thought.
‘It doesn’t look like she’s lying. Does she truly have no feelings for Jeremy?”
“Oh! If you don’t wish to see your brother and I have a hard time separating, it’s better you don’t tell your grandma about the three-month period. I’m sure you understand her more than me. She’s very eager to see me pregnant. If she knows your brother and I are just a fake couple, she’d do anything to intervene. Kapish?”
Once those were said, she got up and was ready to leave.
The only reason she told Francine everything was that she did not want her causing trouble again once she was released. She did not want to entertain Francine; it was a waste of time.
At this moment, Francine was about to have a meltdown. If Corinne never wanted to stay in the family, then she had been doing all these things for nothing. She even caused herself to be detained. What had she done?
“Corinne!” Francine called out.
Corinne stopped walking and looked back. “What?”
With an arrogant face, Francine snorted. “I’m going to believe what you said, I won’t fight you in these three months. Tell them to let me out now!”
Corinne curled her lips. “I’m sorry, but what you did today is a crime. According to the law, administrative detention is your punishment. Be a good girl. It’s just fifteen days. It’ll be over very
soon.”

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...
