"But then I got to know about Anya's existence. After that, I realized every time you came to cause trouble for me, it was because of Anya. She's good at taking advantage of other people's love for her to make them do her bidding. Also, I'm guessing she told you she'll put in a good word for you to Lucas so you and him will marry, and that you're the only sister-in-law she'll ever accept?"
Rosie stepped back. "How… How did you know?"
Corinne smiled. "It's obvious you like Lucas, so she used that to her advantage. That's why she lied to you, saying he's the father of the baby I'm carrying. She was hoping by doing so, you'd get rid of me in a fit of jealousy."
Through Corinne's explanation, everything started to make sense to Rosie. However, the truth was not always pretty, so she found herself on the edge of breaking down.
"A… Anya has…been using me all this time?"
Anya was Rosie's best friend. They grew up together and would even wear the same outfits every day. Not only that, but they would go to dance lessons and even study abroad together too.
Being born into a family that favored sons over daughters, Rosie always envied Anya, who was the apple of her family's eyes. Not to mention, ever since she became best friends with her, her status in the family rose considerably. After all, not only was Anya the golden child in her family, but she was also Jeremy's savior.
To get on the Holdens' good side, Rosie's parents and grandparents started treating her better. They would buy her presents and hold an extravagant birthday party for her, just to invite Anya and Jeremy over to socialize with them.

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...
