"No!" Lucas' heart broke at seeing Corinne so mad and sad. "Corinne, he's not the Jeremy you knew before. He doesn't remember who you are at all. I was worried you couldn't take it…"
'He doesn't remember me at all? Did he have a memory loss? Hah! How convenient of an excuse,' thought Corinne, displeased by the explanation.
Sneering, she said, "The fact that you hid this information from me meant that you were working with him. I'll never believe you again."
Corinne then turned to leave. She would unearth the truth by asking Jeremy himself about everything that happened.
Lucas pulled her back and wrapped her up in a tight embrace.
"Corinne, you need to calm down first. Please…" he said while stroking her hair.
Corinne's shoulders gradually relaxed. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Why? Why is he with Sophia?" she asked.
Seeing that Corinne had finally calmed down, Lucas decided to tell her the truth.
"Jeremy isn't with Sophia; she has him under her control. He doesn't have any freedom, but it's true that he lost his memory. He doesn't remember anything from his past, including you."
Corinne fell silent.
With his hand still around her shoulder, Lucas guided Corinne to the floor-to-ceiling window. He would not want to risk Corinne running out to find Jeremy again.
Once there, he told her everything he knew so far.
Corinne showed no emotions while she listened to him. She simply stared out of the window at the ground below as that was where the hotel garden was.
There were all sorts of beautiful topiary and an elegant fountain in the hotel garden.
Corinne kept staring at the hotel garden for a while more before checking the time on her watch.
"I should go pick up the kids now. Bye."
There was no way Lucas was going to let her be alone at that moment. He followed her and said, "I'll go with you, too."
Corinne did not turn him down or stop him. "You can come with me, but make sure you don't lose Sophia, Jeremy, and Benjamin. I need some time to think about how to handle this."
"Don't worry. Edmund will keep an eye on them. You can be sure that he won't let them out of his sight," said Lucas.
"For your sake, I hope so," said Corinne with a scoff.
It was then Sunny finally understood what was going on. 'So the guy staying with Sophia is Jeremy?! Not only is he crippled, but he lost his memory, 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...
