Sophia shot a death glare at the gossiping girls. It was clear she was warning them to shut up.
The girls quickly shut up and looked away.
…
Corinne continued to lecture 'Bryan' as she carried him back. She was still very angry at him for running off.
'This kid is getting more and more out of hand and stubborn. How dare he run off by himself,' she thought.
As for 'Bryan', he just listened to her mutely. He did not apologize or admit to any wrongdoing.
Once they were back at their picnic spot, Corinne put 'Bryan' down and asked him sternly, "Aren't you going to say anything? Do you know what you did wrong? There better not be a next time."
'Bryan' stared at her with big sad puppy eyes.
Francine sighed with relief when she saw Corinne was back with 'Bryan'. "I think that's enough, Corinne. He only ran off because he liked the cartoon kite so much. I'm sure he won't run off anymore if we get him one."
Corinne could not accept her reasoning. "Even so, he shouldn't just run off without telling me. I think he's asking for a good smacking."
Francine quickly shielded 'Bryan' with her body. "Bryan, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to your Mommy now."
'Bryan' pouted for a second before breaking out in a loud sob.
"There, there. You must've been scared all alone," cooed Francine. "It's okay. It's okay. You're back with Mommy and Aunt Francine now."
Both Francine and Chester were stunned too.
'What did Bryan say? Did he say he wants his Daddy? He has never seen his Daddy before, nor does he have any memory of him, so why would he suddenly want his Daddy? This is his first time… Corinne's going to be sad again when she thinks of Jeremy…' thought Francine.
Corinne snapped out of her shock, squatted, and pulled 'Bryan' into a tight embrace. "Why do you suddenly miss your Daddy? Where do you think we can find him?"
'Bryan' pointed in a particular direction. "Daddy's over there. I want to go there to look for him…"
Stunned, Corinne snapped her head to look at where he was pointing.
Both Francine and Chester turned in that direction too.

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...
