"That's enough, Anya! You can ask for an apology if there's really a misunderstanding, but there's no need to ask Corinne to kneel," lectured Maxwell.
"But Dad! You were suspicious of Mom too, right? How do you think Mom feels, knowing her husband also suspected her? How can Mom ever show her face around you again if we don't seek justice for her? I know Corinne meant well, but look what it's doing to our family! It's only fair for her to bear the consequences for her action, and I'll take nothing less than her kneeling and begging Mom for forgiveness."
Lucas was getting to the end of his patience too. "That's enough, Anya! You—"
"Everyone, you can all stop speaking up for me now," cut in Corinne indifferently. "I'm willing to do what Anya wants as long as the test result comes back clean."
The whole room fell silent.
Lucas turned to look at Corinne with pain and a multitude of other feelings in his eyes.
Jeremy frowned. He was not happy with Corinne's decision and was about to say something when Corinne, as if she knew what he was thinking, pulled his hand. She then looked up at him and shook her head, telling him to not worry and that she had everything under control.
Thus, Jeremy had no choice but to silently watch the incident unfold.
A smug look appeared in Anya's eyes when she saw everyone was quiet. After that, she pretended to wipe away her tears before turning to look at the doctor. "Doctor, you may announce the test result now."
The doctor nodded and intoned seriously, "The test result shows that the pomegranate is indeed very pure."

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...
