Anya felt like her world had crumbled when Lucas pushed her away, and she started sobbing out loud. Since she could not argue her way out of this, she had no choice but to resort to using tears, hoping this would bring Lucas to her side.
"Lucas… hic… Why don't you love me anymore? You…promised you'll always protect me no…matter what."
Lucas refused to speak or look at her. He did not want to be reminded of just how blind he was to all of Anya's scheming ways over the years.
"Cool down, Mister Lucas," said Corinne as she passed him a bottle of mineral water.
Lucas was slightly shocked and relieved to see Corinne caring about him. However, the happiness did not last long because it was replaced by heavy guilt a second later. He finally saw Anya's true colors, and he could not help but think of all the times he blamed Corinne for hurting Anya.
In all the times the two girls had a misunderstanding, he would always take Anya's side no matter what. Oh, how he would shame and scold Corinne for hurting Anya then. Thinking back on it, there was a high possibility he had fallen for Anya's evil plot.
'Oh, Lucas… You foolish, foolish man!' he chided himself angrily.
He thought of himself as not deserving to accept the bottle of mineral water, but at the same time, he did not want Corinne to think he was ungrateful for her caring gesture. In the end, he accepted the bottle of mineral water shamelessly before asking apologetically, "Corinne, aren't you angry at all? I mean, you could've lost your baby."

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...
