"I am in love with someone," Corinne answered, "and that's why I can't fall in love with other people."
Christine asked curiously, "Then who are you in love with? Where is he? Why isn't he here with you?"
Corinne was speechless. Every child had their own endless set of questions for adults. She would never answer that if someone else posed such a question to her, but she could not do the same to her daughter.
"The person I'm in love with can't come back for now," Corinne said helplessly, "but once he's back, I'll have someone to love!"
Christine asked again, "Is that person Daddy?"
Corinne was taken aback and nodded earnestly. "Yes. It's Daddy."
Christine pouted. "But I don't like Daddy!"
The little girl's response startled Corinne. "Why do you feel that way when you haven't even met him before?"
Christine huffed. "That's why I don't like him! The prince will always show up and save the princess when she needs him the most! He'll also fight dragons to protect her! But Daddy has never shown up for you! He doesn't like you, so I don't like him either!"
A child's logic can be amusing at times, but on that occasion, Corinne was made to feel a little sad. "Before you were born, he always showed up when I needed him the most," Corinne said with the utmost sincerity.
Christine was puzzled. "Then why didn't he disappear after we were born? Does that mean he hates us?"
Corinne stood up and asked, "How did it go? Did you find any vendors selling kites?"
Francine blushed slightly because she was still holding Chester's hands. She shook her head and said, "Chester and I searched everywhere, but we didn't find any vendors selling kites. The person probably brought it from home."
Corinne sighed and turned to Bryan, saying, "There aren't any vendors selling kites here, but I'll buy it for you online once we get home. Is that okay?"
Bryan lowered his head in disappointment and muttered, "Okay..."
Since he could not get the kite at that moment, he decided to meet the kite's owner.

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...
