Corinne calmly took a sip of juice. "Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. It's your special day, so don't let someone unimportant like her ruin it."
Annie lightly slapped her own face. "Yeah! I need to stay positive and not let that hateful Sophia ruin my mood!"
As Aaron brought over a pair of flats, he noticed Annie's frown. "What's wrong? Does your feet hurt?"
Annie scoffed. "It's all your fault! The security team you hired let a b*tch slip in!"
Aaron was unaware of Sophia's presence. He crouched down to help Annie change her shoes while asking, "What happened? Who's this b*tch you're talking about?"
"Ask Corinne! She'll tell you everything!" Annie gestured her chin toward Corinne, prompting Aaron to seek answers from Corinne. However, he found Corinne's seat empty.
"Hey, where's Corinne? She was just here." Annie looked around, including toward where the kids were sitting, but Corinne was nowhere to be found.
Aaron stood up after helping her change her shoes. He then reached out to hold her hand. "I'm sure she won't just leave like that. She'll be back in a moment. Stop frowning, darling. Let's go greet your relatives together, okay?"
Annie stood up with a blush on her face. Her sour mood vanished instantly after seeing her handsome husband. She felt like she was dreaming. 'Am I really going to start a new family with this handsome man in front of me? Is he really mine?'
…
Corinne had gone to a secluded garden at the back of the wedding venue, near a small pond. The serenity of the surroundings offered a stark contrast to the lively atmosphere of the celebration.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Jeremy. [Where are you?]
She received no response even after 20 minutes.
'Did he really go back to Molomia like Sophia said? But why didn't he tell me? After all, he remembers everything now,' thought Corinne.
Having experienced a significant loss before, Corinne felt a profound lack of security. She really could not understand why he would not text her to tell her.
Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Stick to the plan. As for Jeremy, I can bring him back even if he tries to run this time."
"Got it." Xante nodded, then added, "By the way, Boss, there's another matter."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"I found out that Nellie might be in the country."
"What?" Corinne's previously stoic expression shifted to one of surprise. "Are you serious?"
Xante proceeded to share the details of what she saw in the hospital the day before, as well as the findings from her men's investigation.
Corinne's pupils trembled intensely. She suddenly recalled the visit from Melinda and her daughter the other day, mentioning they wanted to introduce her to someone from her past.

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...
