As the twins' mother, Corinne was worried they would cry at being left at the kindergarten, which happened a few days ago.
The twins were crying when she went to pick them up, but on this day, they came out smiling instead.
"That's wonderful. Since you two have been so good, you can each choose a balloon you like."
"Yay!"
"I want the bunny!"
The twins skipped and hopped over to the old man selling the balloons. The old man kindly bent down so that it would be easier for them to choose which balloon they wanted.
Corinne felt relieved to see the twins getting used to their days at the kindergarten.
At that moment, she noticed Joey did not go to pick his balloon. Instead, he stood alone with his head hung low.
"What's the matter, Joey? You don't want a balloon?" Corinne asked him gently.
Joey looked up at her with surprise. "I get one, too?"
Corinne frowned. "Of course. Why wouldn't Mommy get you one?"
Joey's eyes lit up. "Thanks, Mommy!" he said, beaming at her.
Only then did he walk to the old man selling the balloons. However, he stood waiting until the twins finished choosing their balloons before choosing one himself.
Joey chose a balloon he liked after the twins were done choosing. However, Bryan—one of the twins—changed his mind and wanted Joey's tiger-shaped balloon after seeing it.
Joey agreed to trade balloons with Bryan, but the younger kid insisted on having both. The older boy was reluctant to let him have both balloons, so Bryan started throwing a tantrum.
Seeing this, Joey pouted and gave Bryan the tiger-shaped balloon.
Satisfied, Bryan reached out to take the balloon. Before he could even touch it, however, his hand was slapped away.
Bryan started crying again.
"You each get one! It's not right to force others to give you their balloon just because you regret the one you chose!" scolded Corinne with a frown.

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...
