Bowen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Francine. Ma'am has brought back your bag and instructed one of the maids to put it in your coatroom."
Francine sighed in relief and stared at Corinne with a frown. "You're playing tricks on me again, Corinne!"
Corinne casually ate and asked, "What time did you come home after distributing flyers with Chester yesterday?"
Francine blushed upon hearing Chester's name and responded shyly, "Umm, some time past eight, I think?"
Corinne pursed her lips. "There probably aren't a lot of students at the school gate by six, right? Where did the two of you go after that?"
"We didn't go anywhere. We just took a stroll!" Francine lowered his head shyly and continued eating.
Bowen came over with a water bottle to fill Corinne's glass. As he did that, he whispered to her, "Ma'am, the bodyguards saw her eating at a roadside shack with a boy. The boy even kept her company until they reached home!"
'No wonder Francine is this cheery. Things are going very well between them!' Corinne was not too surprised to hear that. Her junior, Chester, had been raised well enough by his family, and he would never let a girl go home alone.
A sudden thought then occurred to Francine as she said, "By the way, Corinne, my grandparents will be coming home in another two days."
"I see," Corinne responded curtly and showed little reaction as she ate.
She had met Pamela before, so she knew that the old lady was very kind. On the other hand, she had not met Greg yet. Rumor had it that he bargained to only undergo an operation if Jeremy got married.
Francine frowned and said, "Grandma likes you a lot, but Grandpa has very high standards. He might not be entirely satisfied with you as his granddaughter-in-law! You need to be mentally prepared."
"Thanks for the reminder." Corinne was still busy eating and remained somewhat absent-minded.
'How am I supposed to be mentally prepared? I can't even be sure that we will end up becoming a family in the future! Ugh, I'll just roll with it.'

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...
