Edmund never felt pressure like this before. "Sir, it's because…"
Cedric glared at him. "You better not play dumb and tell us the truth. There'll be hell to pay if I detect a lie in your words!"
'I can't keep it a secret anymore. They're going to find out sooner or later…' thought Edmund. He sighed helplessly and said, "It's because Miss Corinne is—"
"It's because she's your savior, Grandpa. We owe her that much," Lucas chimed in just in time.
Cedric and Beatrice turned toward the door and saw Lucas limping back in with the help of his crutches.
Edmund sighed in relief. Faced with Cedric's immense pressure, he nearly blurted Corinne's secret!
Lucas limped up to Cedric and passed him a bottle of medicine. "Here's the blood pressure medicine you've asked for, Grandpa."
Both Cedric and Beatrice were speechless. 'How did he get back so fast?'
Lucas did not actually get the medicine himself. Halfway through, he suddenly realized Beatrice had sent him away on purpose, so he called his driver to deliver the medicine to him instead.
Cedric accepted the bottle of medicine and looked probingly at Lucas. "Tell me the truth, Lucas. Is Corinne—"

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...
