As things progressed to that point, Anya had no choice but to sacrifice her mother to save herself. After all, it was better for one than for both of them to lose the trust of the family.
Even though she had no idea what Corinne was thinking, she had no qualms about the version of the story Corinne gave. It was more important for her to uphold her innocent girl image so she could live to see another day.
Corinne gently tucked Anya's hair before her ear. "Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I mean, you were kind enough to save Jeremy. Not only that, but you nearly lost your life and became infertile after that… A brave and kind-hearted girl like you would never do something like poisoning me, right?"
Anya could not help but start to feel uneasy at all the praise Corinne was heaping on her, so much so a chill ran up her spine. 'Why would Corinne speak up for me? She's definitely up to no good.'
Corinne frowned and said worriedly, "I suddenly remember something, Miss Anya. Is your body okay after drinking all that pomegranate juice? Do you feel pain anywhere?"
Anya still had her guard up toward Corinne, but she had to play along with her. She shook her head and said innocently, "I'm fine. Sorry to make you worry, Corinne."
Corinne still looked worried. "No, we need to take this seriously. After the doctor told us about all the side effects of overdosing on saffron, I went online to look for more information, and I found out it's actually quite dangerous for a woman who's not pregnant too. Miss Anya, I highly suggest you do a full body checkup now to make sure you're alright."
Anya knew Corinne had an ulterior motive for suggesting she do that, so she politely rejected her. "Thank you, but I'm really okay. There's really no need for me to do a checkup."
Corinne shook her head stubbornly. "No! You drank the whole glass, remember? Sunny only drank half a glass, and look at what happened to him! I think it's best if you go do a checkup."

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...
