Back then, Emily begged Marvin to take Corinne in. She promised that she would come back for her after three months. He did not have the heart to turn her down as she was like a deity to him, so he agreed to her request.
Not only did Emily break her promise and not return after three months, but his family life had been turned upside down because of Corinne's existence. Thus, under Lilliana's instigation, he sent the little girl to be raised by his relative in the countryside.
Unexpectedly, Emily appeared at his doorstep a week after he sent Corinne away. She came back for her daughter.
Marvin could not bring himself to tell her that he had sent Corinne to the countryside as he feared that would destroy his image. Thus, he told her that Corinne was struck with an acute illness, and it was too late to save her by the time she was rushed to the hospital.
Emily was obviously saddened by the news. She asked him for her ashes and left. What was really inside of the urn was the ashes of Sherlyn's dead pet dog.
So many years had passed, and Marvin did not expect that Emily would actually discover the truth and interrogate him about it.
Emily became even more furious when Marvin said nothing. "Answer me! Why did you lie to me?!"
Not able to give a reasonable explanation, Marvin knelt on the floor and pleaded for mercy.
"I'm really sorry, Emily! This is all my fault. But please have some mercy on me since Corinne didn't die on my hands. Please call those men outside off my back, okay?"
Emily was disgusted when she saw him groveling to her so pathetically. 'I must've been blind to give Luna to him back then! He's nothing but a sniveling coward!'
She was too kind to say it out loud to Marvin's face, but it was not the same case for the young Lilin.
As even-tempered as Emily was, she could not help but feel furious at the thought of all the suffering Corinne had to go through over the past few years.
She took a deep breath and said, "Lilin, I'll leave the rest up to you."
Being a smart girl, Lilin knew what Emily was saying. "Don't worry, Miss Emily. I'll definitely avenge Miss Corinne!"
After that, she ran out of the ward in pursuit of Marvin.
Marvin thought he was safe as soon as he got out of the ward, but he was stopped by the men in black, who were told not to let him leave without Melinda and Lilin's explicit permission.

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...
