Corinne ignored Sophia's pointed jab and instead looked at Benjamin suspiciously. She could not get a good look at his face due to the cartoon mask he was wearing.
"How old is your kid?" Corinne asked.
"He's two years old this year."
'Two years old…' Corinne's gaze remained fixed on the kid with the cartoon mask. Even though his face was covered by the mask, she could still see his deep blue eyes.
Tilting his head, Benjamin stared back at her like a little puppy.
A look of alarm immediately flashed across Sophia's face when she noticed the two of them staring at each other.
She turned Benjamin's head to look at her and asked, "Benjamin, have you decided what balloon you want to get? We need to hurry up since Daddy is still waiting for us at the hotel."
Benjamin looked at the balloons and finally chose one in the shape of a dinosaur.
After paying quickly, Sophia smiled and said, "I have to go now, Corinne. But let's have a meal together if we bump into each other again. It'll be my treat!"
Corinne simply stared quietly at her and said nothing.
Sophia got into the black SUV with Benjamin in her arms, and the car quickly drove off.
Corinne remained standing where she was, staring at the direction the car had left while thinking about the look in Benjamin's eyes. She could not help but feel she had seen that look somewhere before.
Suddenly, a waving hand appeared in front of her.
"Hello, earth to Corinne? What are you still looking at? The car left long ago!" said Jason.
Corinne snapped out of her trance and rolled her eyes at him. "You should leave too."
Jason frowned. "Why are you asking me to leave again? I don't have a car, so how am I supposed to leave?"
Corinne had no sympathy for him at all. "You only have yourself to blame for that since you insisted on getting in my car."
Jason shrugged. "Fine, I won't say anything to make you mad anymore. I'll just quietly accompany you and the kids to the theme park."
Corinne ignored him and walked toward the kindergarten entrance. Through the gate, she saw Francine leading the twins out. Joey, with his backpack on his back, followed them from behind.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Corinne walked over and squatted to ruffle the twins' hair. "Have you two been good today?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The twins had just started kindergarten and were still trying to get used to it.

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...
