After the call ended, Annie pouted and shot Aaron a glare that could melt steel. She punched him softly.
"This is all your fault! Why did you have to tell Corinne all that nonsense?" she scolded.
Aaron pulled her closer with a teasing grin. "What did I say to make you blush like this?"
Annie rolled her eyes. "You purposely said things that would make Corinne get the wrong idea. How am I supposed to face her when noon comes around?"
Aaron chuckled. "Come on, we're married now. Why are you so scared of people knowing we're sleeping together? Plus, she's not someone else!"
Annie struggled in his arms, angrily fending off his attempts to hold her. "Anyway, I'm warning you: No more nonsense when we see Corinne at noon, got it?"
Aaron playfully put on a show of surrender. "Yes, dear, you have my word. But before that, how about a little reward?"
With that, Aaron gently lifted her up. Annie's heart skipped a beat, and before she could say anything, he kissed her lips.
…
After a busy morning, Corinne finally wrapped up the work that had been put off from yesterday afternoon. She leaned back tiredly on her office chair and sipped her coffee to rest and relish the rare tranquility.
Right at that moment, she received a message from Annie, notifying her that they had reached the building. Corinne stretched lazily before heading downstairs.
Aaron's car was parked right at the entrance of the Holden Group's building for Corinne's convenience.
After seeing Corinne stepping out from the company, Annie who was seated in the back, immediately lowered the window and waved. "Corinne!"
Corinne nodded, opened the door, and got in the car.
Aaron grinned. "Sure. Which restaurant?"
Corinne was not picky. "Any will do."
"Let's hit up our usual spot! By the way, Xante just called me and asked where we were. Should we ask her to join us?"
Corinne hesitated. She did not mean to exclude Xante; it was just because wherever Xante went, the cheeky Sunny was sure to follow. The boy just annoyed her.
Aaron saw Corinne's expression through the rearview mirror, so he said, "You know what? Let's just forget it. Xante's been running the company by herself lately. Let's not bother her. She can grab something in the office cafeteria."
However, Corinne still felt distressed after hearing this. She knew Xante was swamped with work on her own as Aaron had been busy with wedding preparations.

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...
