Anya would never be kind to Corinne, especially not after what happened.
Corinne stared at the road ahead and replied calmly, "I'm not going that way, though."
Anya smiled enthusiastically and said, "I can always make a detour for you! We're on good terms with each other now, right? It's not a big deal for me to send you there!"
"You don't need to trouble yourself."
"You're not afraid of me, are you?"
Corinne chuckled. "Why should I be afraid of you?"
Anya continued to smile innocently. "Maybe you're worried that I'll retaliate against you for what you did? Relax, Corinne! Even if I wanted to retaliate, I wouldn't have chosen to do it at this time. Besides, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you in my car! I'd be giving myself away then! I'm not that stupid. I don't do things that work against my favor!"
Corinne glanced at her. "What do you want, then?"
Anya then pleaded, "I just want to have a nice conversation with you. Is that too much to ask?"
Although Corinne knew that Anya's offer was not sincere, she decided to get into the car anyway. It would be difficult for Corinne to get a taxi if Anya kept following her.
Corinne yawned tiredly after getting into the car. "Could you send me back to the Holdens' estate, please?"
Anya then answered a little awkwardly, "I'm going to deliver lunch to Lucas right now, though. Can I send you back afterward?"
Corinne frowned slightly. She already guessed that Anya was not heading the same way as her. "Okay."
Anya could not contain her emotions and let out a sneer. "Slightly better? It's more than just 'slightly', okay? He's being overly nice to you! It's just plain weird! What's your deal with him, anyway?"
Anya's probing questions made Corinne raise her guard. Anya and her mother, Phoebe, have been sending people to investigate her origins in the countryside. Though Corinne had tasked Aaron with sending people over to deal with them, there was still every possibility that Anya's people might dig up some clues.
For the time being, at least, Corinne must ensure that neither Anya nor Pheobe were able to discover her blood relationship with the Riveras. After all, her investigation into what happened to her mother would go south if those two ever found out.
After a few seconds of silence, Corinne glanced up and chuckled. "Are you jealous, then? Is it so unbearable to see your beloved brother show the occasional kindness to another girl?"
Anya was triggered by that remark. She gritted her teeth subtly and smiled even more. "Why would I be jealous? Lucas has lots of female friends. I have no reason to be jealous of them! In Lucas' eyes, those women can never compare to me. I'm just weirded out because girls like you were never his type!"
Corinne smiled in response. "Then why don't you ask your brother why his attitude toward me has changed so drastically? I'm sure he'll tell you since he loves you so much!"

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...
