Cedric frowned. He knew that the 'partner' Corinne referred to was Jeremy. It was such a shame that such a decent young woman was rushed into the Holdens!
"What happened to your mother?" Beatrice asked again.
That question elicited Corinne's frown, and there was a touch of aversion on her face.
Cedric could tell that Corinne was unhappy, so he told his wife off right away. "That's enough, dear. Why are you so curious today? Stop asking about Corinne's past. We invited her here to thank her for saving my life. Now look at what you've done! Your questions made her sad!"
Beatrice noticed Corinne's unease and apologized embarrassedly. "I'm sorry I brought up your sad past, Corinne..."
"It's okay." Corinne shook her head gently. "I know that you were only asking out of concern for me."
However, she was still unable to rid herself of her suspicions. "Do you mind if I ask you one last question, Corinne?"
Cedric frowned. "How many more questions do you have for her? Stop asking and let her eat!"
Corinne answered calmly, "It's fine, Grandpa Cedric. I'm already full, so I'm okay with letting Grandma Beatrice ask one final question."
Beatrice stared at her face carefully. "Corinne, did you have any moles on your face when you were young? Such as between your eyebrows, for example?"
Her question left Cedric stunned for a moment. At long last, he finally understood where his wife's questions were coming from and turned to look carefully at the area between Corinne's eyes.
Corinne shook her head. "No."

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...
