"Wait!" Corinne stopped Anya.
Anya moved the wine glass away from her lips and looked at her in puzzlement. "What's the matter, Corinne?"
Corinne frowned subtly. "I remember your health is in poor condition, right? You shouldn't drink chilled wine, then. Why don't you drink the same juice as me? After all, Miss Phoebe went through all that trouble to make the juice for us girls."
Anya smiled stiffly. "That's okay. You can have all the juice. Plus, I wouldn't look sincere if I don't give a toast to you with wine! And don't worry about my health. A little wine like this won't hurt."
"But then I wouldn't look sincere if I toast you with my juice… Oh, forget it then. Let's just not drink toast."
Corinne put down her glass of juice on the table.
Both Phoebe and Anya panicked when they saw this. 'Our plan will be useless if Corinne doesn't drink the juice! And who knows when a chance like this will come again!'
After thinking about it, Anya forced a smile and said, "You're right. I'll have the same juice as you, then. Mom, can you please pour me a glass of juice? It's the least I can do to thank Corinne for saving Grandpa's life."
Phoebe did a double-take; she did not expect Anya would do this. 'No… She can't drink it. The saffron inside isn't good for a woman's health!'
Corinne smiled. "Atta girl. Huh? Miss Phoebe, why aren't you pouring a glass of juice for Miss Anya yet?"
Phoebe snapped out of her shock and smiled awkwardly. She walked over to Anya with the jug of juice in her hand and said tentatively, "Anya, are you sure…"
"Just pour me the juice, Mom! We shouldn't make Corinne wait." Anya was determined to get rid of the baby in Corinne's tummy. Besides, she herself was not pregnant, so it would not affect her that much. The most important thing was to make Corinne drink the juice.

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...
