Corinne would hate to be one of those women whose whole world revolved around a man. Previously, she left Jeremy once because of the misunderstanding Anya caused, so she did not want to make the same mistake again.
She would wait for Jeremy to return and explain everything to her, but until then, she had to brace herself for the worse. As a matter of fact, she was proud of herself for being so clear-headed. After all, how could she expect her husband to be loyal when her own father was a dirtbag who betrayed her mother?
Also, she read many reputable social research reports that said the probability of men cheating on their pregnant wives was very high. Previously, she thought Jeremy was better than most men, or at least he was not the fickle type. However, the recent incident made her believe all men, with no exception, were the same; they all liked to sow their seeds around.
"Okay, I'll ask him when he returns," said Corinne.
Seeing how listless Corinne looked, Tommy became worried she suspected Jeremy of something he did not do. In the end, however, he just said, "Yes, Ma'am."
…
After driving for two hours, they finally arrived at the Riveras' summer villa.
Corinne exited the car and narrowed her eyes on the building in front of her.
The summer villa was truly a sight to behold. Emblazoned across the marble fixed on a gate was the word 'Rivera'. It was obvious the architect had taken a page out of classical Greek or Roman architecture, making it seem like they had been transported back in time.
'I can't believe that evil woman Phoebe still gets to stay in such a nice place after committing so many crimes!' thought Corinne.
Tommy walked up to the gate and rang the doorbell.
A kindly old man appeared on the monitor. "Who's this?"
"Ma'am, Mister Jeremy has given me strict instructions not to let you eat anything while you're here," said Tommy in a bid to stop her.
Corinne frowned, but she shrugged and pulled back her hand.
A few minutes later, Phoebe appeared in the drawing room. Even though she was approaching 50 years old, she did not look a day over 30 years old. She was dressed lavishly, so much so that it would be hard-pressed for anyone to think she was in any way affected by her unfavorable situation.
Phoebe glared at Corinne with hatred. "Fancy seeing you here, Miss Corinne," she said sarcastically.
Corinne smiled at her. "Hello, Miss Phoebe. I trust that you've been well since I last saw you."
"You must be disappointed to see me looking so well," said Phoebe with a smirk. "Did you think I'd become a shell of my former self just because Anya is arrested? Well, you couldn't have been more wrong. This is nothing compared to all the storms I've weathered before. Just wait—I'll make a comeback in no time."

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...
