Jeremy remembered how Anya sucked the poison out of his body, how she brought him food and medicine every day, and how cute she looked when she addressed him as 'Mister'.
He held a special feeling for that girl ever since. It was not of love but of gratitude for saving his life. Even if he was blinded by the snake's venom in his body, he could clearly remember everything. Everything—except for the girl's look.
Later, when Anya came to look for him with the bracelet at hand, he felt something was different about her. Not able to put his finger to it, he just chalked it down as him imagining things.
Jeremy felt extremely guilty after learning Anya could not have children nor did her health ever recover from the snake venom she sucked out of his body. He tried to make it up to her ever since—but the one thing she wanted from him, he could not give.
After taking a trip down memory lane, Jeremy shoved the bracelet back into Anya's hand. "My promise to you still stands, so take this bracelet back. It's yours to keep forever."
He then stood up, picked up Joey from the sofa, and left for the guest room upstairs. He stopped walking when he passed by Corinne and looked at her, conflicted. "Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Corinne said nothing else and simply nodded.
Anya had gotten what she came for. She wore the bracelet and waved it in front of Corinne while smiling smugly as if to say, 'See this? As long as I have this bracelet, Jeremy will forever take my side.' She then glared at her condescendingly before turning to follow Jeremy and Joey up to the guest room.

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...
