Xante could only say that at the moment as Corinne still looked composed. She feared that Corinne would have a meltdown if she told her that Jeremy had taken one of the babies away.
Corinne nodded. "Yes. I'm sure he's still alive. After all, he came back safe and sound when everyone said he was killed in the explosion last time. Plus, he promised he'd come back to me no matter what… My, it's really kinda chilly here. Guess I'll go back to my room to wait for him, then…"
Corinne turned and walked back to her room stiffly as she muttered to herself.
It pained Xante to see Corinne acting so calm. 'Poor Boss… She still had no idea Mister Jeremy had somehow come back secretly to steal the baby before he seemingly vanished into thin air… Might as well. It might be better for her to believe Mister Jeremy died in a plane crash if we can't find him or the baby.'
…
Three years later, all the shareholders had arrived at Holden Group's shareholder meeting, yet the company's president seat remained empty.
The meeting was set to start at nine o'clock in the morning, and there were still 30 seconds left until the hour hand struck 12.
Suddenly, the double door suddenly opened.
Corinne smiled at the elderly shareholder. "Let me ask you something, then. You all agree that Jeremy is the president of the company, right? So as his wife, isn't it justifiable for me to help him run the company while he's not here?"
Another shareholder scoffed and questioned her, "Wife? From what we know, you and Mister Jeremy never registered your marriage. At most, you two are boyfriend and girlfriend. Therefore, you have no right to take over the company."
Corinne remained unperturbed. "Even if I'm not legally married to him, both of our kids are still his successors. Being the mother of his successors gives me the right to sit here."

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...
