The more Sophia could not get Jeremy, the more she wanted him. There were times even she herself could not tell whether she wanted him because she loved him or because of her stubbornness.
In any case, did not want to give up on him or let him marry and live happily with Corinne.
She walked into the bedroom and saw 'Benjamin' had fallen asleep on the bed while Jeremy was staring out the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in his thoughts.
After observing him for a while, Sophia finally said, "Zachary, has Benjamin fallen asleep? Are you hungry? Do you want me to call the hotel for room service?"
Jeremy did not seem surprised at her voice suddenly coming from behind him. He simply turned calmly and said, "We've been eating room service for the past few days. Both Benjamin and I think the food here is either too oily or too bland. We don't like them at all. Maybe you can go buy some groceries and we can cook for ourselves instead?"
This was the first time Jeremy had asked her to do something like that. Frowning with puzzlement, she said, "But…neither of us don't know how to cook…"
"We can learn. I think cooking it'll be fun to cook for ourselves. Besides, look at me. There's a slim chance I can ever walk again, and it's so boring spending my life stuck in this wheelchair. I don't think I can take it if I have to eat the same thing over and over again every day," said Jeremy.
Sophia was stunned. She could not help but feel sorry for him. After all, Jeremy used to be a capable man who everyone feared, but his reality had changed. He had to spend all his time in his wheelchair. Moreover, she was to blame for putting him in that state.
However, she convinced herself she had no choice but to do that. She was so worried that he would leave her and go back to Corinne once his legs were healed.
His expression changed after he heard she went out of the main entrance. He then turned his wheelchair and wheeled himself over to the bed.
"You can stop pretending to be asleep now," he said, looking down at the boy on the bed.
The boy frowned guiltily, opened his eyes, and giggled sheepishly. "Hi, Daddy… How did you know I was pretending?"
Jeremy looked at him unsmilingly and scoffed. "You sure have no difficulty in calling me 'Daddy'. Do you call any Tom, Dick, or Harry 'Daddy' too?"

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...
