Chapter 877
Francine’s curiosity was then piqued. “Hey, Corinne. Why don’t you get yourself a little something too since you have full access to my brother’s credit card?”
“I have everything I need, so there’s no need to buy anything.”
Frowning, Francine looked Corinne up and down with disgust. ‘Her clothes are so basic… I mean, she’s pretty enough to wear such basic clothing, but how will anybody know she’s rich if she doesn’t wear branded stuff?”
“Of course you need to buy something! In fact, you should throw away all the clothes you have now and revamp your wardrobe. Corinne, you’re Missus Hart now, so you should dress accordingly. If not, you’ll just be an embarrassment to my brother.”
Corinne raised her head to look at Francine with something she could not quite decipher. This made Francine realize what she had just said. Thus, she cleared her throat awkwardly and said, “Ahem! Don’t get me wrong. This is by no way me accepting you as my sister-in-law… I just think you should at least clean yourself up since that lovesick brother of mine insisted on keeping you by his side. I’m only doing this for my brother. Only a polished woman is worthy enough for him.”
Corinne smiled. “Thank you for your advice, but your brother doesn’t care what I wear, and I don’t have any interest in branded stuff. I’ll make sure I dress accordingly when the situation requires, but when it comes to day-to-day clothes…you can forget about it.”
Francine rolled her eyes. “Hmph! You must think all this money is chump change. What you’re really after is all my family’s fortune. That’s why you’re working so hard to have my brother wrapped around your little finger!”
Corinne smiled. “You’re right, but you can’t fault me for being good at it. You would’ve done the same if you’re as good as I am at getting a guy to willingly give all of his money to you.”
Francine crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. I’m not as manipulative as you are.”
The two girls made a beeline to the Hermes shop as soon as they arrived at the mall. Francine happily weaved around the shelves to choose a bag that she liked while Corinne waited in the waiting area with a coffee in her hand.
“Corinne.”
Sometime later, someone called out her name. She looked over and saw Jason walking over with a femininely dressed woman on his side.
Jason smiled at her. “So it is you, Corinne. I thought I was wrong.”
“Yeah. What a coincidence,” said Corinne with a nod. She did not stand up but continued sipping her coffee.
“Why don’t you go over there and pick out a few bags you like while I stay and talk to my friend here,” said Jason softly to the woman beside him.
The woman did not seem to want to leave. She threw a guarded glance at Corinne before finally nodding and turning to check out the bags.
Jason immediately sat beside Corinne as soon as the woman left.
“Corinne, are you here alone? Where’s Jeremy?” he asked.
“I came here with Francine. I promised her I’d buy her a bag, so I’m just waiting for her here while she picks the bag she wants,” said Corinne indifferently.
Jason narrowed his eyes. “Well, how nice of you to bring your sister-in-law to do some bag shopping.” Corinne ignored his sarcastic remark and instead asked, “Was that your girlfriend?”
“Nope,” answered Jason without hesitation.

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...
