Anya said firmly, "This is the only logical explanation. I can find no other reason why Lucas would care so much about her! And don't you think Dad looks at Corinne differently now? Didn't you notice something unusual about his tone whenever he spoke to her?"
Phoebe felt a wave of fear when she recalled Maxwell's reaction upon laying eyes on Corinne. "If that's true, it's all the more reason to kill Corinne!"
A ruthless expression appeared briefly in Anya's eyes. "That's for sure, but we can't be the ones to do it."
"Then who's going to help us?"
"I've arranged for someone to deal with Corinne. Let's just wait and see what happens."
Phoebe glanced curiously at Anya. "Who is it?"
Anya said, "You'll find out if she succeeds."
Phoebe believed her daughter would not assign such an important task to an unreliable person. She did not ask any further and merely said, "Okay, Anya. Let's eat. Tell your adopted son to eat something too. He ignores me when I talk to him, and he refuses to eat even if I feed him. He's such a pain to take care of!"
Anya had a look of disgust. "Leave him be, then. I'll have one less thing to worry about if he starves to death!"
Back at the Riveras, Corinne told Cedric and Beatrice the reason she skipped classes in senior high. She explained to them that she had learned everything that was supposed to be taught in school. Her financial conditions forced her to earn money by working, even though she had classes to attend.

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...
