Corinne nodded and watched Jason leave before entering the mansion gate with Bryan in her arms.
As soon as she walked in, she saw Francine, who had been secretly watching them from behind a tree.
Francine walked up to her and asked with a frown, "Corinne, I thought you went out with Annie? Why did Jason drop you off instead? Are you still in contact with him?"
Corinne glanced sideways at her. "Annie is still at her friend's place. I happened to run into Jason, and he offered to give me a ride home," she said without breaking her stride.
'They happen to run into each other?' Francine thought in disbelief. "No way am I going to believe that."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Why not? Are you saying you don't believe me, or are you saying you don't believe Jason?"
Francine could tell she was a little angry, so she quickly waved her hands. "No, no. Of course I believe you, Corinne. But we all know Jason has a crush on you, so I think it's best if you stay away from him in the future."
"Even if it's not a coincidence, he only came to look for me this time because he wanted to talk about our two companies working together. So don't think too much about it," said Corinne.
Francine followed Corinne from behind. "What? I didn't know Holden Group had a project going on with Talbot Group."
Corinne did not want to explain too much to Francine since nothing was set in stone yet. She glanced sideways at her and asked, "What are you doing out here alone? Where's Joey and Christine?"
Francine pointed to the garden. "They're over there flying a kite. A few of the servants are keeping an eye on them. I was with them too just now, but I slipped away when I saw Jason dropping you and Bryan off."
Corinne shook her head. "No, he had just fallen asleep, so he'll only be grumpy if we wake him up now. Let's wait for him to wake up by himself. You go play with Joey and Christine first. I'll find you later."
After that, she carried Benjamin into the mansion.
'But Bryan never wakes up grumpy…' thought Francine while scratching her head. After that, she took out her phone to call Annie.
"Hello, Annie? What's going on? Didn't you say your therapist friend can provide counseling for Corinne? How did it end up with Jason sending her home? Aren't you afraid he'll steal Corinne away?"
"It's Corinne who didn't wait for me. She ran out of the house with Bryan before I could say anything. I was just as confused as you are. Did you see Jason drop her off?" said Annie.

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...
