Corinne was elated. 'I can shake Lucas off once I get to the subway station!' she thought.
After looking left and right for any incoming cars, Corinne stepped onto the crosswalk and sped up so she could get away from Lucas.
Just as she was about to reach the other side, a car heading straight for her suddenly appeared out of nowhere! She had no time to react!
Before it was too late, Lucas threw himself onto her.
Wanting to make sure Corinne's baby would not get crushed, Lucas turned Corinne around when they fell so she would fall on top of him. At that moment, only the sound of the car tires screeching and the muffled thud of Lucas hitting the ground could be heard. It was a dangerously close call!
The first thing Corinne did after she recovered from her shock was to mentally note down the details of the car that nearly hit them. It was a gray van with the car plate number XXXXX.
After that, she looked down at Lucas. "Mister Lucas, are you okay?" she asked as she got up.
Lucas sat up, too. The first thing he did was not to check whether he was hurt but to lightly pat Corinne's head. "There, there. Everything's okay now. Just remember to be more careful next time."
Corinne was a little moved by his gesture. He seemed to be more worried about her than himself. She bent down to help him up.
Lucas was pleasantly surprised by her gesture. With her help, he slowly stood up while making sure his right foot stayed off the ground.
Ever the observant one, Corinne quickly noticed that little detail. "Did the car hit your leg?" she asked with a frown.
Lucas shook his head. "It's nothing. I'm just glad you're okay."
Corinne felt a little disconcerted. She did not know what to say.

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...
