However, Sophia did not hear Bryan this time.
…
Corinne sat in her private booth with a frown. She looked like she was lost in thought.
Seeing this, Lucas asked her gently, "Are you okay? Did you find out who the patron in the opposite booth was?"
Corinne nodded. "It's Sophia."
Lucas was stunned. He looked worriedly at Corinne as he finally realized why Sophia bidded against him.
"It's so despicable for Adam Group to employ this kind of tactic," he said with a scoff.
Corinne scoffed as well. "It's not only despicable but greedy too! By doing so, they've raised the price to ten times its fair value!"
Lucas agreed to what Corinne said. His eyes darkened. "Don't worry. I'll explain what happened to the person in charge later. You have my word that I'll get that piece of land at a fair market price for you."
Corinne did not have any proof that Adam was Sophia's father since the old Adam had wiped out all of his past when he took up his new name.
Even so, she had faith Lucas would be able to dig up some proof.
…
The auction ended 40 minutes later.
Lucas looked worriedly at Corinne. "Did you see anyone else when you went to look for Sophia?"
Corinne was a little taken aback by his question. "No. She was the only person in the booth when I was there."
After a brief silence, Lucas replied, "Okay." After that, he turned back around and ordered the driver, "Drop Corinne back to the Holdens' mansion first."
"Yes, Mister Lucas!"
Corinne thought it was odd for Lucas to ask her such a question, so she asked him, "Mister Lucas, why did you ask me if I saw anyone else in Sophia's booth? Was there supposed to be someone else? Like her father?"
Lucas shook his head. "It's nothing. I only asked because I was curious to know whether she came alone or with her father."

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...
