Jeremy paused in his bed and composed himself before saying calmly, "Can you please close the window? The night air is quite cold, and I don't want Benjamin catching a cold."
After a while, the shadowy figure that sat on the chair got up, walked over to the window to close it, and walked back to sit on the chair again.
Jeremy had no idea how long the shadowy figure had been sitting there, but after catching a glimpse of her silhouette and long hair, he was sure she was a woman.
The room started to warm a bit.
Jeremy remained leaning against the headboard. He turned to look at the sleeping 'Benjamin' and pulled up his blanket. He then looked at the shadowy figure.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you must be the Corinne Carew I've heard so much about."
'He heard so much about, huh?' Corinne remained calmly seated on her chair, despite being chilled to the bone.
She scoffed and said, "Huh. Even though you've lost your memory, you're still as unflappable as ever. You'd even ask an invader to help you close the window?"
"I don't have a choice. I would've closed the window myself if it were not for my useless legs."
Corinne stared at him through the darkness. Even though she could not see his face clearly, the pain still cut across her heart.
"Aren't you curious why I've come here?" she asked him.
Jeremy pursed his lips before breaking out in a half-hearted smile. "Nope. But you shouldn't have come."
Corinne fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she stood up and walked toward Jeremy slowly and emotionlessly.
She then grabbed and squeezed his throat without warning.
"How I wish I could strangle you to death for your nonchalance."
Corinne's expression darkened. "You think I had a choice? Those kids were an accident. I had no interest in an older man like you at all."
Jeremy fixed his gaze on her. "Then what made you change your mind?"
Corinne was speechless.
Jeremy smiled. "There's no point talking about all this now nor is it the time to ask me to pay for what I did wrong in the past. Please go back before Sophia finds you here. Otherwise, she'll immediately take Benjamin and me back to Molomia. You won't be able to find me anymore when that happens."
Corinne composed herself. She glanced at 'Benjamin', who was still sleeping soundly.
"Why aren't you and Sophia sleeping in the same room?" she asked.
"Do you want me to sleep in the same room as her?" asked Jeremy.

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...
