Corinne sat on the blanket with her three children and enjoyed the food Pamela prepared for them.
Meanwhile, Chester and Francine were talking to each other some distance away. They had taken a small step in their relationship and were thus very shy as a result.
Joey had some mayo smeared on his mouth from the sandwich, so Corinne took out a tissue and gently cleaned it for him. "Eat slowly, and don't rush."
In response, Joey nodded obediently.
Bryan, who sat next to Joey, could not take his eyes off the kite soaring in the sky. When he noticed the kite drifting in a different direction, he quickly gobbled down the remaining half piece of sandwich. He then stood up and said, "Mommy, I'm full! I'm going over there to talk to Aunt Francine!"
Corinne turned her attention to her youngest son and reminded him, "Be careful! Don't run too fast and trip!"
Bryan acknowledged her warning and rushed over to where Francine was to get a better view of the kite.
Once Corinne saw Bryan approach Francine safely, she turned her attention to Christine and offered some water from a bottle. Joey and Christine stayed obediently by Corinne's side while quietly enjoying their meal. Corinne occasionally glanced in Francine's direction to keep an eye on her youngest son's whereabouts.
Bryan initially stayed close to Francine while he was captivated by the kite. At some point, Corinne looked over again and saw that Bryan was gone.
Corinne's eyes widened, and she swiftly rose to her feet to scan her surroundings. "Francine, where's Bryan?"
Francine was engrossed in her conversation with Chester, but Corinne's alarmed question snapped her out of it. She looked around with a worried expression and said, "He was just here! He was looking at the kites..."
Corinne noticed the Robot Man kite descending lower in the sky had immediately surmised where Bryan was.
The child in the robot mask felt that the rude boy was familiar, but he could not recall where they had met before. He remembered that his father had warned him about talking to strangers, so he ignored the question and walked past the boy after picking up his kite.
Bryan, unhappy at being ignored, chased after Benjamin and blocked his way again. "Why are you ignoring me? I asked you a question!"
After being cornered, Benjamin said, "My daddy told me I shouldn't talk to strangers or answer their questions."
Bryan disagreed and placed his hands on his hips in frustration. "But my mommy taught me that we should be polite and help our new friends!"
Benjamin snorted behind his robot mask. "You're not being polite though! You should greet a person first before asking a question!"

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...
