Pamela looked at Corinne kindly. "It's okay, my dear. I just wanted to see you if you're doing okay. You must be tired after taking the kids to the amusement park yesterday."
Corinne shook her head. "No, they were quite well-behaved. Grandma, please come in and have a seat."
Pamela peeked inside, her eyes resting on the three kids peacefully asleep on the bed.
She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't wish to disturb them. Let them sleep a little longer. Corinne, there's actually something I'd like to ask you to do on my behalf."
Corinne raised an eyebrow curiously. "What is it, Grandma?"
"It'll be Annie's wedding in a couple of days," replied Pamela sincerely. "They've sent us the invitation, but considering your grandpa's and my own health, it's not convenient for us to attend. Could you take the trouble and bring the wedding gift on our behalf? Annie has always been Jeremy's most cherished niece. I'm sorry to trouble you, but since he's not here…"
'Oh, so that's what it's about.' Corinne immediately nodded. "Don't worry, Grandma. I'm quite close with Annie and her soon-to-be-husband. It won't be a hassle as it's my job anyway."
Pamela smiled kindly. "Alright, dear. I'll go downstairs and have someone prepare a delicious breakfast for you all. Let the kids sleep a bit longer before coming down to eat."
"Yes, Grandma."
Pamela turned and descended the stairs with the maid assisting her.
Corinne narrowed her eyes as she took out her phone and checked the date. With everything happening these days, she almost forgot about Annie and Aaron's wedding.
After a moment of consideration, she dialed Annie's number.
The phone rang for quite a while before Annie finally answered tiredly, "Hello..."
Aaron chuckled. "What brought that on? It's not wrong for a couple who's about to marry to share a bed, right? Boss, please keep in mind that me and Annie are already legally married, so no one can say anything about us!"
Corinne rolled her eyes. "Come and pick me up at the company with your wife during lunch break. Let's grab a bite together, and I'll help her pick a wedding dress."
"Got it, Boss!"
Annie quickly grabbed the phone back, explaining, "Corinne, don't mind his nonsense! We... We're just sharing a bed. Nothing… Nothing else happened."
Corinne laughed. "You two are about to get hitched, and whatever else is going on is not my business. There's no need to explain! Alright, you guys carry on. See you at noon."
"Okay... See you!" Annie hung up, still blushing.

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...
