Francine was worried that Jason would steal Corinne away while Jeremy was not there. 'It's a good thing she's letting Jason tag along because she doesn't want to waste her time on him, and not because she has feelings for him.'
…
The driver stopped in a spot not far from the entrance of Astoria Kindergarten. It was after-school hours, so all the parents were lining up to pick up their kids.
Astoria Kindergarten was New Capital City's most high-end kindergarten. They had a strict rule of only allowing one parent to pick up their kids to ensure the kids' safety. This was also to prevent too much chaos that would distract the teachers' attention.
Francine got down from the car and said, "Corinne, I'll pick the kids up. You just wait in the car."
"Okay, thanks," said Corinne, letting her go. However, she did not wait in the car. Instead, she got down and observed the kindergarten's entrance from where she stood.
An old man was selling balloons near the kindergarten entrance. Thinking that the kids would like the balloons, she walked over to the old man, and after asking the price, decided to buy three balloons—one for each kid.
However, she did not choose the balloons after paying. There were simply too many designs that she decided to let the kids choose the ones they liked after they came out.
Jason had followed her down to buy the balloons. He smiled at her as usual.
The attractive couple immediately caught the attention of all the parents lining up to pick up their kids. This obviously caused some discomfort to Corinne, but Jason was really enjoying the attention.
"Corinne, I bet they think we're a pair of parents who came to pick up their kids."
Corinne found the woman's voice very familiar, so she took a closer look at her. Her expression froze once she did that.
The woman was so focused on coaxing her kid that she did not notice Corinne was standing not far away from her. However, she immediately turned to face her when she sensed somebody was staring at her intently.
The two women looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.
After a while, the woman greeted her. "Corinne, it's been a while! What a coincidence it is to bump into you here when I just got back to the city. This must be fate or something."
Corinne looked at Sophia and then at her kid. Forgoing the usual pleasantries, she instead asked skeptically, "This your kid?"

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...
