Chester's question obviously had Jeremy stumped.
Corinne looked at Jeremy expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Jeremy felt immense pressure under Corinne's gaze. "I like everything about her!"
"Then I like everything about Francine as well! I want to have a future with her," chimed Chester.
Jeremy naturally could not find any error in what Chester said.
Corinne laughed at this. It was rare to see Jeremy speechless. She sidled up to him and whispered with a smile, "I suggest you give it up. Chester and Francine really like each other, so stop causing trouble for him!"
Jeremy wrapped his arm around her waist and gave it a squeeze. "Seems like you really like this junior of yours."
It was Corinne's turn to be speechless. 'He seems to be even more prone to jealousy after getting back his memory!'
At that moment, Francine ran down the stairs.
"Jeremy!" she shouted emotionally. Her snot and tears were all over her face.
She had gone upstairs to look for him but got no response after knocking on his door. Assuming that he was still in the shower, she went to find Pamela and Greg.
She was overcome with emotions the moment she went downstairs and saw Jeremy. Not caring what other people thought, she threw herself onto him and bawled her eyes out.
"Jeremy! Do you know how worried we've been over the last three years?" she whimpered. "You're finally home!"
Previously, she would never have dared to be so affectionate to Jeremy. As much as he doted on her, there were still step-siblings, so it was difficult for her to drop her guard entirely.
Feeling embarrassed, Francine got up from Jeremy and sat next to Corinne.
"Corinne, did you see that? Have you ever seen a brother being so harsh to his own sister? Does he treat you like this too when you get your tears on his clothes?" she complained.
Corinne did not know how to answer her, but her guess was that he probably would not.
Not getting an answer from Corinne, Francine muttered to herself, "Sigh! I know he wouldn't mind you doing that to him. In fact, I bet he wishes you'd cry in his arms."
'Haha. Is that so?' wondered Corinne.
Jeremy glanced coldly at Francine before getting up and scooping Corinne into his arms. He was in no mood to talk to other people, nor did he wish to be bothered by them.
"Stay here with your boyfriend. Corinne and I have some unfinished business to do upstairs."

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...
