Corinne stared at Melinda for a long time before saying, "If what you said is true, then I'm sorry for misunderstanding you."
Melinda smiled ruefully. "Corinne, it's understandable for you to be guarded against us. I'd just like to remind you that Sophia has gone mad. She'll do anything to keep Zachary by her side, and she's good at playing the victim to get Adam to help her. You must be very careful."
Corinne believed that Melinda meant well, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I'll be very careful. And if there's nothing else, I'll be going back to work now."
She raised her wrist to look at the time.
Since she had said what she needed, Melinda did not feel good about keeping her. She swept her eyes around the coffee house once more, but there was no Emily still.
Finally, she sighed and said, "Okay. I won't keep you, then. Let's meet up again when you're free, and I'll bring the friend I've mentioned along."
Corinne narrowed her eyes. She was somewhat curious but not that keen to probe into the matter. She nodded slightly and said, "Sure. I'll get going, then. Bye."
She stood up and smiled politely before turning to leave.
Lilin waved goodbye to her sadly. "Bye, Miss Corinne!"
Corinne waved back at her without looking back. After that, she pushed open the door and went out of the coffee house.
Lilin watched as Corinne walked toward Holden Group. She then pouted and said, "Sigh, we took all that trouble to ask Miss Corinne out, and it was for nothing! I wonder where Miss Emily ran off to."
Lilin's eyes lit up. "Does that mean she is your long-lost daughter?"
Emily covered her mouth to stop a sob from coming out. She did not want to cry in front of Lilin. She nodded and said, "Yes. I don't need to ask her anything to know. I could tell she's my daughter with a glance. She's my Luna…"
Lilin was overjoyed. "That's great!"
Melinda patted Emily's shoulder to comfort her. "It's a good thing, right? Your daughter is still alive, so you should be happy."
Emily closed her eyes to stop the hot tears from falling. "I am happy that she's still alive, but I also can't stop blaming myself for believing Marvin when he told me she's dead. I should've looked into it at the time!"

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...
