Annie reeled in shock at Corinne's response. She frowned and asked, "Why?"
She thought Corinne would be happy and give her blessing to her and Aaron.
"The two of you aren't compatible. You'll end up hurt if you marry him."
"Why does it sound like you have a bias against Aaron? He sees you as his family, but it seems like you see him as a dirtbag."
Corinne sighed. "It's not called bias when I know him so well. I watched him grow up, so I know just how many broken hearts he left in his wake. He's important to me as a friend and as a family, but he won't make a good husband."
Annie was stunned. She blinked in disbelief. "He's been with many women?"
"Yes. Loads."
"Can you give me a number?"
Corinne frowned. "He's twenty-three years old this year. And from the age of eighteen, he'd change to a new girlfriend every week. You do the math."
"That is a lot…" murmured Annie disappointedly.
Corinne patted Annie's shoulder. "Well, at least you found out before things got serious. Just ignore him from now on, and remember not to believe anything he says. They're all lies."
Corinne thought back to Jeremy's attitude toward her from the very start. "That's just his nature. Besides, he's always been uninterested in other women even before he met me. You can't say he changed because of me.
"Aaron, however, is different. He's always been a playboy since young. Nothing or no woman has ever held his interest for more than a week. That is his nature, and you should know just how hard it is to change someone's nature."
Annie was not going to give up that easily. "It's hard…but not impossible, right? Corinne, I really like him. He's so good to me, and I don't want to give him up just yet. Not when we haven't even given our relationship a chance."
Corinne stared at the stubborn Annie for a long while before saying with a sigh, "I'm only giving you advice from my perspective, but I can't do anything if you insist on going ahead with the marriage. However, I need to warn you, Annie, that a man would do anything to make you happy when he's interested in you. When he's not… Well, he'll treat you so cold, you'll start to wonder what did you ever see in him.
"Take me and your Uncle Jeremy for instance. I'm fully prepared for the day he'd fall out of love with me, so I suggest you don't start a relationship if you can't handle the ending of it. Though, if you think you can, go ahead and try. As for your marriage to Aaron, you can accept his proposal if you're okay with an open relationship. If not, you'll come to regret ever marrying him."

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...
