Sophia was also wary of waking up Benjamin. After finally soothing him to sleep, she sighed and whispered, "Now that Benjamin is asleep, it's about time we get something to eat. I had some wine and steak sent to the hotel."
Jeremy raised his hand and dismissed her offer. "Go ahead without me. I'm not hungry."
Sophia frowned. "How are you not hungry when you haven't even eaten lunch?"
"You can go ahead and start eating," Jeremy reiterated. "I'll eat when I'm hungry."
Sophia felt a bit displeased. She sensed that he might be intentionally avoiding a meal with her. However, given the circumstances with the sleeping child, she had little choice but to leave and eat alone.
"Sophia," came Jeremy's deep voice.
She turned back in slight shock and replied, "Yes, Zachary?"
Jeremy looked at her with a listless gaze. "I'd like to go out for some fresh air tomorrow. Staying in the hotel all day is getting boring."
Sophia was taken aback and seemed to respond with a hint of defensiveness. "The air quality in this country is hardly on the same level as Molomia's air quality. I wouldn't want your health to be affected if I took you out."
It was not until her three kids approached her with googly eyes that she shifted her attention from the computer screen to them.
Deep down, she felt conflicted and unable to resist their earnest pleas. With some reluctance, she closed her laptop and conceded, "Okay, okay! We can go! All your Aunt Francine knows is to bring you out to play!"
Francine pursed her lips and said, "I'm just thinking about their well-being! They don't have any kindergarten homework to keep them busy on weekends, and they'll get bored at home. It'd be much better to use the time for an outing. Once they start elementary school, they'll have so much homework that they won't have any chance to go out and play! Besides, you've been busy with work too, and this should be a day off for you to go all out and relax. What's wrong with that?"
Corinne shot her a disdainful look. "This picnic is your suggestion, but I don't see you preparing any food."

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...
