"You don't have to worry about wasting food here," Lucas insisted. He could not bear to see Corinne being like this.
"Is it because you think it makes me look cheap to eat these?" Corinne asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lucas was stunned. "No, of course not!" he said quickly.
Corinne's eyes dimmed. "Then can you please stop telling me what I should and shouldn't eat?"
Lucas was speechless. He had no choice but to sit back down. He looked at Corinne with a forlorn expression, thinking he would do anything she asked as long as it made her happy.
Corinne nonchalantly ate a bite of the honey garlic pork chop before saying, "Mister Lucas, I'd like to keep the fact that we're related by blood to ourselves. I hope you haven't told anyone yet."
Lucas nodded. "Don't worry. I haven't told anyone about this yet. You have my word that I won't tell anyone else until you're ready to return to the family. If I tell my Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice, they'd definitely rush to the Holdens' mansion to bring you home. I'm sure Grandpa Edgar and Grandma Gertrude would do the same.
"Not to mention our seven uncles and twelve cousins abroad would fly back the moment they heard of the news. You might not remember them, but they miss you very much. There's a chance you'll be overwhelmed by them all, so no, I haven't told anyone yet."
Corinne was not surprised to learn Edgar and Gertrude would look for her since she was their granddaughter. She was sure they would welcome her with open arms and not care who her father was as long as they knew Emily to be her mother.
However, it was a different story with the Riveras.

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...
