A warm glow of happiness instantly filled Sophia's face when she looked down at her child. "Yes, this is my kid. I've gotten married, if you haven't heard. Our son's name is Benjamin! Benjamin, be a good boy and say hello to Aunt Corinne."
Benjamin ignored Sophia as all of his attention was on the balloons the old man was holding.
Corinne frowned and looked probingly at Sophia. "And may I know who you married?"
Sophia smiled. "You won't know him even if I told you his name. He's just an ordinary person. He grew up abroad and had never even been to this country before we got married. I don't think you've ever met him."
Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Is that so?" she asked meaningfully.
Sophia laughed. "Corinne, don't tell me you think I've married Jeremy?"
Corinne's chest tightened at the mention of that name. She kept her eyes trained on Sophia, but Sophia's expression told her that she was not hiding anything at all.
Sophia said self-deprecatingly, "I wished I could've married Jeremy as well, but he doesn't love me at all. He insisted on revoking our marriage so that he could be together with you, even though I begged him not to. I admit I was distraught then, but I eventually moved on after some time. I count myself very lucky to have met my current husband after that. He really loves me, and I can honestly say I'm happily married."
Corinne found no signs of Sophia lying from her expression. However, she could not shake the feeling something was not right.
"What's your husband's surname?"
"Finnix. Corinne, I know what you're suspecting, but you're really overthinking things. I heard there's still no lead on Jeremy after all these years, and I do feel bad for you. But you still got what you wanted, right? I mean, even without him, people still call you Missus Holden."
"By the way, Corinne, what are you doing here?" Sophia asked with a smile.
Corinne snapped out of her flashback. "I'm here to pick up my kids."
Sophia looked at Jason, who stood beside Corinne, from head to toe before saying coyly, "Did the two of you come here together? Does that mean the two of you are here to pick up you two's kids or…"
Jason smiled and was about to answer her when Corinne said, "They're my kids. He's just passing by."
Sophia's smile deepened. "Oh, I actually thought you two were dating."

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...
