Edmund thought for a moment before saying, "Wait here. I'll go in and talk to him."
Anya smiled mischievously. She felt as though she had achieved success. As long as Edmund went in and told him that she had turned over a new leaf, Lucas would not be so harsh on her anymore!
As expected, Lucas came out to meet her in person.
"Lucas! I brought your favorite stir-fries!" Anya rushed toward Lucas like she always did and acted coquettishly.
However, Lucas pushed her away coldly and glanced around. "Where's Corinne? Isn't she with you?"
Anya was taken aback. 'Why is he asking about Corinne?!'
"Umm... Corinne is waiting for me in the car downstairs! I'm on good terms with her now. If she's willing to get in the same car with me, it means she's willing to forgive me! I know I was wrong, so please don't stay angry at me, okay?"
Anya then wanted to throw herself into Lucas' embrace again.
Lucas placed one hand on her shoulder. He exerted a bit of force to stop her from coming any closer. He then asked, "Why didn't she come up here?"
Anya frowned subtly. She could sense that Lucas was showing a little too much concern for Corinne, but she did not dare to show her dissatisfaction with him at that moment.
"I invited Corinne up, but she didn't want to. She said she would wait for me in the car, so I didn't force her."
Lucas looked on uneasily as Edmund left. He was a little worried that Edmund might not be able to convince Corinne to come up, so he thought of going over to meet her himself. Then again, he felt that doing so would make him look a little too suspicious.
For the first time, Anya could see the uneasiness on Lucas' face. She wondered if Corinne was the cause.
She was infinitely curious as to why Lucas cared so much about Corinne.
"Why does Corinne seem so important to you? Must you ask Edmund to invite her over?" she blurted that question as curiosity got the better of her.
Lucas snapped back to his senses and looked calmly at Anya. "She is Grandpa's savior, but our family has never treated her well before. You, especially, should know better than anyone what you've done to her in the past. Don't you think our family should right those wrongs and be nicer to her?"

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...
