"It's nothing, really. We just miss her, that's all. But I must say, I'm impressed by your time management skill, Mister Jeremy. After all, you managed to keep both sides of your affairs happy," said Aaron with a sarcastic smile. It was obvious he was mocking Jeremy.
"Oh, I'm nothing compared to you," said Jeremy calmly. He then picked up a glass of juice and passed it to Corinne.
Normally, he would never talk to someone like Aaron, but since Aaron was Corinne's friend, he thought he should at least attempt to be civil.
Aaron scoffed and was about to say something else when Xante nudged him with her thigh as a warning.
Initially, Corinne was not really in favor of letting Jeremy come with her, but she had no choice but to allow him to tag along after he expressed just how unhappy he was about her meeting Aaron.
However, she instantly regretted not standing her ground after she saw how awkward Aaron and Xante's interaction was with Jeremy. Not to mention, it kind of defeated the purpose of meeting up with them since, more than likely, Aaron and Xante would not feel comfortable enough to tell her what happened.
Therefore, it was a blessing Jeremy suddenly received a call from Zeke at that moment.
"Jeremy, are you at Twilight?" asked Zeke.
Jeremy raised his eyebrow. "Yeah. How did you know?"
"We wouldn't even know you're back if Jason didn't tell us," replied Zeke grumpily. "Why didn't you call us?"
"Where are you guys now?"
"We're at Twilight, too! We saw your car parked in the underground parking lot, so we called you to ask if you want to have a few drinks with us."
"We don't need you to tell us that, Mister Jeremy. We're not stupid enough to let a pregnant woman drink! We're even more worried about her than you are," said Aaron with a scoff. He muttered something else under his breath, but Jeremy decided to let the matter slide as he was a good friend of Corinne's.
Jason immediately dropped his nonchalant attitude and sat up straighter as soon as Jeremy left the room.
"Boss, are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with that old geezer?" he asked seriously.
Corinne sipped her juice absent-mindedly. "At least he's not as much of a jerk as you."
She found it weird Aaron would suddenly pick on Jeremy like that since he did not really show any objection to them being together in the past. In fact, he had always behaved politely whenever he was with Jeremy.
Aaron shrugged. "Yes, I admit I'm a dirtbag, but I never pretended to be anything else other than that. Boss, you do know the girls who I've hooked up with never expected me to settle down with them, right? It's like an unspoken agreement between me and them that I'm just in it for the good times. I can't sit by and watch you getting played by Jeremy!"

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...
