"What?! Corinne's pregnant?" exclaimed Pamela in shock when she heard what Rosie said. She quickly got up and walked over to them. "Jeremy, is this true?"
Jeremy had not announced Corinne's pregnancy to his family as he was worried Pamela would insist on plying Corinne with all sorts of nutritious food. He knew Corinne would be too kind to turn down, and she would end up with dangerously excessive nutrients.
At this point, however, there was no need to hide the news of the pregnancy from his family. Thus, he nodded at Pamela.
This seemed to make Pamela even more worried as not only did she fear for Corinne's life but also the unborn baby's. All of a sudden, she was hit with nausea, chest tightness, and difficulty in breathing.
Jeremy reached out to steady his grandmother. Then, with a frown, he said to Francine, "You! Help Grandma to the chair."
Francine did as she asked without protest, which was rare. She led Pamela to the waiting chair to rest.
Not wanting to be interrogated by Jeremy, Rosie followed Francine and Pamela over to the waiting chair too. After thinking about it, she said to the old woman, "Don't worry, Grandma Pamela. There's a high chance the baby Corinne's carrying isn't Jeremy's. She didn't give me a straight answer when I asked her who the baby's father is, so I think—"
Slap!
Rosie was smacked before she could finish her sentence, and her ears began to ring. After the ringing stopped, she turned to look at the person who slapped her in wide-eyed disbelief.
"Lu… Lucas… Why did you hit me?" she stammered with her hand on her cheek. She could not believe the man she worshiped would slap her. She knew Lucas might be aloof most of the time, but he would never hit a woman.

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...
