Zachary did not answer. He could contact Corinne, but he did not want to do so because he was still in a bad mood. He had already read the message Corinne sent him and decided not to reply because she asked him where they were going instead of explaining why she was with Jason.
Corinne could easily have explained the situation and clarified the matter to avoid any misunderstanding, but perhaps she just could not care less as to whether or not there was a misunderstanding in the first place. Simply thinking about that made him more frustrated.
He had been trapped by Sophia for more than three years, and heaven knew how many men had approached Corinne to try and win her heart. His temper was fast flaring up when those thoughts flooded his mind.
At that point, the sensible Benjamin handed his phone over and said, "Just ask her already! You're obviously concerned about the whole thing, so why don't you just ask her about it? I wouldn't want you to worry about it all night and lose sleep because of it!"
Zachary looked at Benjamin before shifting his gaze to the phone.
Benjamin then urged, "Hurry up! You won't get to contact her anymore if Sophia comes back!"
Zachary held the phone for a few more seconds before making an encrypted video call to Corinne. The call rang for a while and was finally picked up. The video was blurry, and it sounded a little noisy on Corinne's end. Corinne switched the camera to focus on her face and raised an eyebrow at the man in the camera. "Took you long enough to reply to my message!"
Zachary looked at her coldly. "Where are you? Haven't you gone home yet?"
'Amazing! They're going to watch a fireworks show together too! How romantic! Why would you do that with another man, though? You're mine!' Zachary's blood was boiling even though he remained expressionless.
Benjamin overheard what Corinne said and jumped on the bed. He stood on his toes and looked at Corinne through the phone screen. "Mommy! I've never seen a fireworks show before! I want to watch one with all of you!"
Corinne felt a complex mix of emotions when she saw Benjamin. "You will, Benjamin, I promise! Once you and your dad come back home, we'll all watch a fireworks show together! You'll get to see the best and most awesome fireworks show ever! For now, you have to be obedient and listen to your dad. Can you do that?"

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...
