Corinne cut Anya off with a yawn and said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself. Joey's adopted, so he's not your son in the biological sense. And from what I heard, you were the one who begged Jeremy to adopt that kid with you, and you also promised he wouldn't have to do anything else after that.
"You should take up all the responsibility when that kid is concerned. Isn't it enough for you that Jeremy, out of the kindness in his heart, had been helping you to take care of Joey all this time? I mean, he had every right to ignore your pleas for help. I should warn you, Miss Anya, you're not entitled to any of Jeremy's help, and if you think you are…then you should do some self-reflection."
Knowing that she could not win an argument against Corinne, Anya resorted to using her signature act. "But Corinne, I just…just wanted Jeremy to check on poor Joey. Why do you insist on making me out to be the bad guy here?" she asked tearfully.
Corinne smilingly stepped forward and roughly lifted Anya's tear-stained chin. "I'm making you out to be the bad guy? Is that what you think I'm doing when I'm only teaching you how to be a decent human being? Well, let me make something clear to you: From now on, don't you dare bother Jeremy again, or else—don't blame me for beating you up, you homewrecker!"
Corinne's threatening aura flowed from her fingertips and engulfed Anya in a second, causing her to shrink back in fear. "How can you…call me that? I'm not a homewrecker!" cried Anya pitifully.
Corinne jerked Anya's chin higher. "Only I, Jeremy's wife, have the right to say whether or not you're a homewrecker. Like I said, don't blame me for beating you up if you ever show your face around Jeremy again."
After that, she released her grip with such force that Anya's face swung to the side.
Ignoring Corinne, Anya turned her tear-streaked face toward Jeremy, who stood behind Corinne. "Jeremy, I think it's best if I give you back this bracelet 'cause it seems like Corinne really doesn't like me. I promise I won't bother you again, and I hope the two of you get to live happily ever after."

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...
