Corinne's response took Lucas aback, but his eyes were then filled with admiration for his long-lost sister. 'The difference between her and Anya is quite stark. This is what my sister should be like—an independent woman who's not afraid to love and let go at the same time! Anya only knows how to cry and act like a damsel in distress. I must be blind in the past to not see what a drama queen she was.'
He took a deep breath before asking, "Corinne, did you come to work for me because you wanted to find out why Mom left our home with you?"
"Yup, that's right," admitted Corinne. There was no reason to hide it as everything had come to this point.
Lucas sighed. "You don't need to do that anymore. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Corinne narrowed her eyes and said mockingly, "You'll tell me? Hah! You're just going to tell me Mom made a mistake and was caught in bed with another man, and that's why she was kicked out of the house."
Lucas frowned. "I didn't want to believe that either, Corinne, but…I did see Mom coming out of a hotel with another man."
Corinne scoffed. "What about it? That's not proof enough. I myself have come out of many hotels with many different men. Does that mean I slept with all of them?"
Lucas' face darkened. "Don't speak nonsense like that!"
Corinne rolled her eyes. "No matter what happened back then, I'll always believe my mother isn't that kind of woman!"
Lucas was glad to see Corinne defending their mother vehemently. He nodded and said, "I believe Mom isn't that kind of woman too. That's why I've asked my men to look into the matter all these years. Though, we haven't found anything that proves otherwise."

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...
