"You bet I did! Jason had the longest crush on Corinne since forever. His eyes will shoot out little love hearts whenever he sees her. God, it's so annoying!" grumbled Francine.
"Francine, there's been no news from Uncle Jeremy for three years, so I think it's time we do something about Corinne's love life. Jason's not a bad guy, and he seems to really like her. More importantly, he doesn't mind that Corinne is a mother to three kids. That alone puts him above the rest. I'm not going to stop him if Corinne's willing to give him a chance," said Annie.
Francine was not happy about that. "I'll stop him, even if you don't!"
Annie was still at David's place, so she was not in the mood to deal with Francine at that moment. "Go ahead and stop him, but this kind of matter isn't really up to us. It all comes down to what Corinne wants. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. I gotta go now. Talk to you later."
"Hello? Hello?! D*mn it!" At the disconnected tone, Francine put away her phone helplessly and went over to play with Joey and Christine.

Back at the hotel's presidential suite, Jeremy was watching cartoons on the television with 'Benjamin' while Sophia was making coffee in the kitchen.
While waiting for the water to boil, she kept on observing the boy sitting beside Jeremy.
After a while, the hotel's room service delivered a fruit platter, and she brought it over for Jeremy and the boy to eat.
They were watching a cartoon that 'Benjamin' never watched before. Suddenly, Sophia had an idea. She picked up a piece of cantaloupe and fed it to 'Benjamin'.
"Benjamin, why are you watching this cartoon? I thought your favorite is the one with the robots and iron giant," she asked with a smile.
'So he thinks I'm annoying, too?' thought Sophia with a frown. She turned to look at him. "Zachary, I'm just worried. It won't be good for Benjamin's eyes if he watches the television for too long."
"He won't watch it for long. He already promised me that he'll stop after this episode," said Jeremy calmly.
Sophia's face turned red. 'He's making it sound like the kid is none of my business. But how can he not be? He's my kid too, and I'm the woman of the house!'
After thinking it over, she moved closer to Jeremy and said softly, "Zachary, I can't help but feel that Benjamin has changed. Do you feel the same way, too?"
Jeremy looked at her with complicated eyes, then back at 'Benjamin' nonchalantly. "Nope. I don't think he's any different than before."

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...
