Sophia loved Jeremy deeply, having fallen for him since the very first day she saw him. Therefore, problems with his virility did not bother her too much.
As long as Sophia could keep him by her side, she would consider herself successful and happy.
However, she believed that having a child together with Jeremy would help rekindle their feelings and solidify their bond. To that end, before his body had fully healed, she retrieved the child she sent away and tricked him by saying that the child was the result of their union.
Jeremy believed in Sophia's words. After all, he and the child bore a striking resemblance to each other. Unfortunately, that child had never shown any affection for Sophia from a young age. No amount of love and care from her end could get him to call her 'Mommy'.
Sophia occasionally grew impatient and wished she could scold the child, but the fear of Jeremy finding out was the sole factor holding her back from doing so. She had gone so far, and she could not bear to see her effort be in vain if she did not take a different approach.
Sophia planned to be kind to the child and entice Jeremy into believing they were once a loving couple. Then, when Jeremy's health had fully recovered someday and they had a child of their own, there would be no need for her to deal with that child anymore. Jeremy would naturally grow fonder of their newborn, and she could then send the other boy abroad on the pretext of giving him a better education.
Sophia's main obstacle was Jeremy's failing virility, for he firmly believed they were husband and wife. She chalked up his reluctance to let her assist him during his bath to his pride, and his refusal to let his wife see his vulnerable side.
In short, Corinne could no longer exist in his heart or his memories. Years of brainwashing by the psychiatrist had erased all traces of her from his memory.
Elsewhere, at a restaurant, the three kids were exhausted after some playtime in the children's playground. They each held a large slice of pizza and wolfed it down hungrily.
Francine propped up her chin and gazed fondly at her three little nephews, finding them to be increasingly adorable with every passing look.
"A child?" Francine was once again overwhelmed by surprise. "With whom?"
Corinne had a skeptical look as she explained, "She mentioned that she got married and had a baby with her husband."
Francine seemed to share Corinne's suspicions. "And who is her husband? What's his name? What does he look like? Have you seen him?"
Corinne shook her head. "No, she was alone with the child."

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...
