Thus, Jeremy asked Corinne to eat more.
Corinne frowned as she watched Jeremy leave with Joey. 'Well, I guess I have some more room in my tummy, so I might as well eat more.'
The personal chef in the summer villa was quite skilled at cooking so she heartily enjoyed the food. However, what she did not enjoy was Lucas staring at her eating from across the table.
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he watched Jeremy leave the dining room. Being a smart cookie, he quickly understood Jeremy did that to give him some time with Corinne.
'He might come off as cold most of the time, but he can be quite thoughtful. It's either that, or…he's just paving the road to call in a favor in the future when I become his brother-in-law.'
"Corinne, do you have anything else you'd like to eat? I can ask Edmund to buy it for you," said Lucas with concern.
However, Corinne did not appreciate his concern at all. She frowned and gave him a warning look. "No, thanks. Mister Lucas, I know you're trying to make up for all the hurtful things you did to me before, but I'd much prefer it if you stop being overly concerned with me."
Lucas sighed with dismay. "Fine. I'll try to keep that in mind…"
Corinne took a bite of her sandwich and, while chewing, suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Mister Lucas, did something happen in the past that caused Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald to hold a grudge toward Jason?" she asked with a raise of her eyebrow.
After some hesitation, he made up his mind to tell Corinne about what happened in the past. However, just as he opened his mouth, they heard Phoebe's wails coming from outside the dining room.
"Jeremy, please! Can't you think of something to get Anya out? Won't you do it for old time's sake? You have my word that she won't come between you and Miss Corinne anymore. Please! I beg you…"
"Old time's sake? You mean how she lied to me for more than ten years? There were no feelings to begin with! Miss Phoebe, seeing as you're my elder, I've actually restrained myself from saying more hurtful things, so I hope you won't push your luck," said Jeremy coldly.
"But Anya is innocent. She loves you so, so, so much!"
"You should be thankful I didn't pursue the matter when I found out you two lied to me. You dare ask me for a favor?"

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...
