Xante nodded. "Yeah, that punk deserves a real beating, but you don't have to do it yourself. I'll deal with him later. You just stay here and rest. This is for your and the baby's own good."
Corinne was already in a bad mood before, but Aaron's antics made it worse.
Seeing that Corinne was infuriated because of what Aaron did to her, Annie quickly wiped away her tears and walked up to her. "Corinne, I'm okay. Please don't be mad. Uncle Jeremy will kill me if he finds out about this…"
Corinne looked at Annie with a deep frown on her face, thinking she would not feel better unless there was an outlet for her to unleash her anger.
Xante naturally knew what Corinne was thinking about. 'Boss won't be able to sit still unless I go deal with that punk now.' Thus, she said, "Miss Annie, please take care of Corinne for me while I go out to do something."
Annie nodded cooperatively. "Sure thing, Miss Xante. I'll take good care of her."
Xante smiled. Then, she turned to Corinne and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, Boss. You can leave it to me."
"Don't show him any mercy. And take a video for me to watch later," said Corinne coldly.
"Yes, Boss!"
After that, Xante walked out of the room.
It was only then Annie realized what Xante was going to do.
"Corinne, is Miss Xante going to find Miss Aaron? You have to stop her! I'm okay. I'm really okay. I don't want Miss Xante to bother Miss Aaron and his girlfriend because of me," she said anxiously.
Corinne gave Annie a side-eye. She did not stop Xante, nor did she change her mind. Then, she said to Francine, "Go spend time with Grandma Pamela. I only need Annie at the moment."
"Ahh, this is perfect."
Only then did Annie put the thermos aside. She then crouched to look at Corinne's slightly swollen legs.
"My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me, she'd easily get sore and swollen legs to the point she couldn't walk a few steps without getting tired. At first, I thought she was exaggerating.
"But now that I see you suffering from sore legs when you're pregnant at a younger age than my mom was, I believe what she said. It's not that easy carrying a baby inside of you, huh? Even though your baby bump isn't that obvious yet, I can feel you're not as energetic as before."
Corinne looked down at her 'fat' legs.
"Yeah. That's why we women shouldn't get pregnant that easily. Not every man is worth it for us to go through this kind of suffering."

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...
