Corinne could not even formulate words at the moment.
Francine and Chester were stunned, but they nodded tacitly.
After that, Jeremy carried Corinne upstairs in an authoritative manner.
As unwilling as she was to go up with him, Corinne knew it was futile to fight him. Based on her understanding of him, the more she struggled, the more it would excite him.
Happy tears streamed down Francine's cheeks again as she watched Jeremy carrying Corinne up the stairs. 'He's home! My brother is really home!'
Chester passed her a tissue. "Here. Use this to wipe your tears, or your makeup will be ruined."
Francine snapped out of her thoughts. She turned to look at Chester.
"Oh, no. Don't tell me you find me annoying too," she said with a pitiful pout.
Chester burst out laughing. Worried that she might be overthinking again, he moved closer to her and wiped away her tears for her. "Silly girl. You should know that I'll never find you annoying."
Francine turned bright red. She took the tissue from his hand so that she could wipe away her tears herself. "Don't look at me! I must look very ugly right now."
"No, you're not. You look cute—like a little tabby cat," said Chester with a smile.
Francine turned even redder. "Here you go, teasing me again. Ahem! By the way, what were you talking about with Jeremy and Corinne? Did Jeremy tell you how he managed to escape from Sophia?"
Chester shook his head. "He didn't talk much. Though, I did tell him how I feel about you."
Francine was taken aback. "What… What did you tell him exactly?"
Chester cupped her face in his hands. "Well, I told him I'm serious about you and that I wish to have a future with you."
…
Meanwhile, Jeremy brought Corinne into a guest room upstairs. He did not bring her to their bedroom since the kids were still playing inside.
Corinne immediately felt his warm breath on her skin as soon as she was placed on the bed. His shadow fell on her as they gazed deeply into each other's eyes.
"Ahem! What do you think you're doing?" she asked him.
Jeremy was in no hurry. He gave her a gentle peck on her cheek. "What do you think? I'm pretty sure you know very well what I want to do to you."
Corinne frowned. "Cut it out! It's going to be dinner time soon. It'd be rude to make Grandpa and Grandma wait for us."
Jeremy burst out laughing. "Glad to know that you still have confidence in my staying power. You're right. It'll be well after dinner time until I'm finished with you!"

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...
