Xante did not stop what she was doing. After peeling the last of the apple's skin, she cut them into little wedges and fed them to Corinne.
"It's okay. I know how to take care of Corinne since I took care of her in times like this before you two met."
Annie blinked. She could not help but feel something was off when she saw Xante gently feeding Corinne the apple slices.
Even though they both worked in Newmoon Group, Annie rarely talked to Xante while working since Xante was a workaholic who gave off the vibe of 'I'm busy, so don't talk to me unless necessary'.
Thus, it was a little jarring to see the aloof Xante acting so warmly toward Corinne. 'I've never seen this side of her before…'
Just when Annie was trying to figure out the relationship between Corinne and Xante, Francine—never the one to keep what she was thinking to herself—said, "My brother really has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to worry about other men stealing his wife, but he has to worry about other women stealing his wife too!"
Annie was speechless. She quickly prodded Francine's side to shut her up.
Xante was unfazed by what Francine said. She cut out another apple wedge and fed it to Corinne. "Boss, since Mister Jeremy is on a business trip, why don't you stay at our place once you're discharged from the hospital? I'm worried about leaving you alone with the Holdens."
Corinne thought over Xante's suggestion while chewing the apple.
"No! She's married to my brother, so that makes her a member of our family too! I won't allow her to stay with outsiders. Besides, you're the ones I should be worried about since you all seem to be eyeing my sister-in-law," said Francine.
Corinne's mouth twitched. 'What in god's name is this girl talking about?'

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...
