Josephine's mother raised her head from her daughter's shoulder and wiped her tears with her sleeves. "Ask away! There's no way for you to worm yourself out of this when you know what I said was true!"
Corinne smirked and asked evenly, "You mentioned your daughter was a top student. Why didn't you let her repeat another year after you found out there was no record of her SAT exam results in the system?
"If she was as excellent as you said she was, she could've gotten into University of New Capital City after repeating another year of school. And even if she wasn't, she could've gone to trade school instead of wasting her youth farming, right?"
Josephine's mother's expression changed. She then glared vehemently at Corinne. "How can you talk so nonchalantly? Don't you know it takes money to repeat another year or go to trade school? We've spent what we have to send her to high school so that she might change her life through higher education, but you stole all that away from her!"
"Going to university takes money, too! Does that mean you're going to stop her from going to university as well?"
"I'm sure she'll get a full ride scholarship with her grades!" said Josephine's mother with unwavering determination.
Corinne simply laughed.
Josephine's mother started to panic. "What… What are you laughing at?"
Corinne waved her hand, not wanting to waste her breath on arguing whether Josephine would have gotten a full ride scholarship. Instead, she said, "Let me ask you another question. You said I didn't take my SAT exams. Do you have any proof? Why would I avoid taking exams if I plan on going to university?"

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...
