Francine blushed and replied awkwardly, "What do you mean by that? He was very diligent in tutoring me back then!"
Corinne neither explained nor rephrased her remark.
Chester did not seem to pay too much mind to that either. He grinned shyly and looked at the three little kids seated between the two girls. He sighed. "Time sure flies. The children are all grown up now."
Corinne tilted her head and looked out at the passing streetscape through the car window. She murmured, "Yes. Time flies... Three years have passed in the blink of an eye..."
The city's lush parks were the preferred destinations for spring outings and picnics. Many families brought their children here to play on weekends when the weather was perfect.
Corinne and Francine led the children ahead, while Chester followed behind and helped carry their belongings. After finding a suitable empty spot on the field, Francine pointed and said, "Let's set up our spot here!"
Chester nodded. "Sure."
The two of them busied themselves by spreading out picnic blankets on the grass and arranging the food and drinks they had brought along. Francine took several photos of the food, beckoned the three children over so she could take pictures of them with the food, and shared some cheerful moments with them.
The children loved their aunt dearly, and Francine felt the same toward them too.
Chester was not much into taking photos, so he stayed out of the camera frame. He retreated a few steps to the side and observed quietly with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Corinne walked over to Chester and asked softly, "You've fallen for her, haven't you?"
"Mommy! Mommy!" Her son's cry drew Corinne's attention. Guided by maternal instinct, she immediately looked toward him.
Bryan was excitedly jumping as he pointed to the sky in some agitation.
Corinne walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
Bryan replied eagerly, "Mommy, I want to fly a kite too! I want that Robot Man kite!"
Corinne looked in the direction that Bryan was pointing toward and gazed upward to see a Robot Man-themed kite soaring in the sky.

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...
