"Here, I've finished the practice questions. Now go buy me the ten Hermes bags you've promised me."
Corinne took the practice book and flipped through the pages. All the answers were correct. "How can you prove that you did this yourself?"
Francine frowned. "How can I prove it, you say? Well, you'll find the handwriting is mine if you just compare the handwriting in this book with all my other books."
Corinne scoffed. "I'm not asking you whether you wrote it. What I'm asking is how can you prove that you didn't cheat? You could've gotten these answers somewhere else."
Francine blinked unnaturally. "Who—me, cheat? How can I cheat when there was no one in the room for me to copy answers off of?"
"Tsk! You could've copied the answers off online!"
Francine looked away guiltily. "I don't even have a computer, so how can I do that?"
"You could've used your phone!"
"Are you trying to back out of your promise, Corinne?"
Corinne smacked Francine with the practice book. "I'm not trying to back out of my promise. I'll bring you to go buy your beloved Hermes bags if you can just prove you did the question yourself."
Francine was inspired upon hearing that. "How do you want me to prove to you?"
"Give me your phone and I'll keep it with me for the time being while you go get a new practice book and do the questions in front of me. You can bring it to me to mark after you've finished. I'll buy you your Hermes bags if you get half of the questions correct."
Francine scoffed. "Well, you certainly are one."
Corinne simply ignored her. She took the phone and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. After that, she came out to see Francine scratching her head. 'She must be having problems with one of the questions,' she thought with a smile.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door, so she went to open it.
Bowen stood outside and gave her a slight bow before saying worriedly, "Ma'am, I heard Miss Francine had come to disturb your sleep."
Corinne waved dismissively. "It's okay. She's studying here."
'Stu… Studying?' Bowen thought he had heard wrong, but he looked to where Corinne was gesturing with her eyes and saw Francine was indeed studying. 'This is unbelievable!'

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...
