Corinne recognized that voice. It was the same woman who picked up Jeremy's phone when Francine called him last time.
She felt her heart inexplicably aching.
She did not ask him who the woman was as she trusted he would explain everything to her without needing to prompt him. To her surprise, he did no such thing.
Instead, he quickly said, "Hey, I gotta go now. Be a good girl and go to bed early, okay?"
Corinne did not even have a chance to ask what was happening when Jeremy hung up on her. She listened as the disconnected tone floated into her ear.
'Who is that woman? Why didn't he explain himself?' she asked herself.
She threw her phone aside and climbed into her bed. Feeling sad and insecure, she hugged her pillow tightly and curled herself into a ball.
She spent almost every night in this way when she was a child. After she grew up and gained the ability to protect herself, she no longer slept in this position.
However, at that moment, the sense of insecurity from childhood seemed to have rushed back to erode her self-esteem again. Slowly, she started to doze off without her knowing.
By the time she woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly in the sky. The warm sunlight shone through the curtains, causing Corinne to slowly open her eyes.
However, the first thing she saw was not the room's furnishing but a man's strong chest.
Startled, she first thought she was still dreaming. She touched the chest in front of her, and to her shock, it was real.
Even though she had just woken up, she remembered she had spent the night in the Riveras' summer villa. Moreover, Jeremy was not in the country either.
This effectively made Corinne stop screaming. She looked to the side and was surprised to find herself staring straight at Jeremy's face.
Jeremy was sleeping on his side, his handsome face evidently looking tired. Suddenly, he sat up and moved closer to her.
"What's the matter? Who did you think I was?"
Even though she was still feeling a little shock, she sighed in relief.
"No one… But you've gotta admit, anyone would be scared if they suddenly found someone sleeping next to them."
At that moment, words alone could not express how glad she was to find out she did not cheat on Jeremy after all.

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...
