Jeremy shot the blabbermouth Zeke a cold glance. He did not say anything, so it was a silent admission. It was only then Annie realized how dense she had been.
"That's true. I also think Corinne looks better in real life. She doesn't even need makeup. Her beauty is unparalleled!" said Annie with a nod.
Corinne pursed her lips, embarrassed by Annie's high praise.
There were a few other girls in the living room, too. They were either Zeke's or Annie's friends. Corinne noticed the girls had been staring at Jeremy and checking out her face and clothes ever since the two of them walked in.
'I didn't come here to show off my beauty,' thought Corinne. She then got up and said, "Please excuse me, everyone. Annie, let's go to your room to talk for a bit."
Annie had something to tell her too, so she nodded. "Sure thing. Follow me this way."
Corinne followed Annie to her room.
Annie pulled out a beanbag chair for Corinne to sit on. She then smiled and asked, "Corinne, what do you want to drink? I'll ask the servant to bring it in for you."
Corinne sat down and shook her head. "I'm not thirsty. No, thanks." She then looked quietly into Annie's innocent eyes. "Now tell me: What's this thing about Aaron?"
Annie blinked innocently at her and smiled shyly. "Aaron told me you're the most important friend in his life. In fact, he sees you more like a parent than a friend. He'll respect your wishes in everything, so he asked me to ask you for your opinion before giving him an answer. We can get married as long as we have your blessings."
Corinne's lips twitched. 'Why that punk… This is a trap!'
Seeing Corinne staying silent, Annie lightly nudged her leg. "Corinne, why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you going to give us your blessing?"
Corinne snapped out of her shock and looked at her lovestruck niece-in-law. "No. I'm not going to give you two my blessing."

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...
