Sophia no longer had any taunts up her sleeve and shot Corinne a fierce glare. Her eyes were red with jealousy when she saw Corinne and Jeremy standing together. All of a sudden, she cackled manically and clutched her belly as she said, "You're only confident because you've given birth to three of his children! But you're not the only woman who can give birth, you know! I can do it, too! I'm pregnant with his child now!"
Corinne narrowed her eyes and looked at Sophia's abdomen. "And how did that happen?"
Sophia gazed at Jeremy lustfully and retorted, "How else? Jeremy made passionate love to me night after night! I'm bound to get pregnant if he keeps filling me up!"
Corinne turned and glanced at Jeremy, who remained expressionless. "I've never done anything of the sort."
Corinne scoffed softly and directed her attention back to Sophia. "You heard him. How is he supposed to get pregnant if he hasn't done anything with you? What do you take me for? An idiot? He was wheelchair-bound in all his time with you. Where is he going to get the strength to father a child with you? Even if any physical intimacy did happen between you two, you had to be the one who took the initiative."
Sophia's face stiffened, but she burst out in laughter again. "He was just pretending to be wheelchair-bound! How else could he recover so quickly?"
Corinne crossed her arms and stood her ground. "Yes. I know that he had been pretending to be wheelchair-bound the past few days, but don't you have any idea why he was pretending? Let me refresh your memory. He's been putting on that act because he didn't want you to know! Why would he take the initiative to be intimate with you if he had been hiding that from you?"
"He... Who cares what happened? I'm pregnant with his baby! We can do a blood test if you don't believe me!"
Enraged and shocked at the revelation, Sophia took a few steps back and pointed at Corinne tremblingly. "You... You're evil!"
"Certainly not as evil as you," Corinne retorted. "All we did was expose your past wrongdoings. You, on the other hand, resorted to all sorts of evil tactics to kidnap someone else's husband! Your father might hold a lot of power in Molomia, but he doesn't have the same influence here. If you don't want to drag him down with you, your only choice is to turn yourself in. You might get some leniency in exchange for revealing the full details of how you violated our country's laws and evaded taxes."
At that moment, Sophia seemed to have lost all her sanity. "Hell no! I'm going to bring you down with me!"
Sophia then lunged at Corinne with outstretched hands, but Jeremy was quick to intervene. He shielded Corinne from the attack and shoved the frenzied Sophia away.

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...
