"But, Mommy… I like both balloons…" muttered Bryan with a pitiful pout. He was still at the age where he could not control his greed.
Even though Corinne would spoil the kids from time to time, she was very strict when it came to teaching them how to be a decent human being.
"You can ask me to buy you another one if you like both balloons instead of forcing your brother to give you his. Your brother likes balloons too, and he'll have none if he gives you his. Let me ask you something: Would you be sad if the same thing happened to you?"
"I know, Mommy, I was wrong…" said Joey. He turned to Joey and said, "Sorry, Joey. Let's share our balloons! You can play with mine, too."
Joey decided to forgive and forget. He smiled happily and said, "Okay! Let's play together."
Children's emotions were ever-changing like the weather, and it was not long before their laughter could be heard in the air.
The younger twin, Christine, followed after her two brothers with her pink bunny balloon. Even though she was the youngest, she was actually the most mature out of the three of them. Thus, she found Joey and Bryan immature to fight over the balloons.
Francine clapped her hands to get their attention. "Alright, let's all get into the car. We're going for pizza!"
The kids quickly got into the car one after another. Seeing this, Corinne walked over too.
"It's hard to treat all kids equally, huh? You certainly have your hands full, Corinne," said Jason as he walked along her.
"It's not really that hard," replied Corinne nonchalantly. "As long as you have the intention and are observant enough to catch the kids' feelings, which I'm a master of."
Meanwhile, Sophia arrived back at her hotel.
"Zachary, we're back!"
She walked into the presidential suite with Benjamin in her arms, but her husband was not in the living room. She put down Benjamin and went to the bedroom to look for him.
"Zachary, what are you doing?"
A man in a wheelchair was quietly staring out of the floor-to-ceiling window. The presidential suite was situated on the highest floor, so he could see the entire city from where he was sitting.

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...
