Jeremy recalled what Sophia said, that 'Benjamin' looked different somehow. He narrowed his eyes to get a better look at him but found nothing odd about him.
Suddenly, an image of the girl he saw on the field flashed across his mind. He was sure he had seen her somewhere before.
Moreover, he could not help but feel his chest tightening at the thought of her chatting and laughing away with another man.
'Who is she? Where have I seen her before?' he kept wondering.
Meanwhile…
It was already dinner time by the time Corinne and the rest of them returned to the Holdens' mansion.
Pamela immediately came to welcome them back when she heard their voices. Corinne and Francine came in with the three kids, whereas Chester had already gone back to his school.
Even though Pamela was old and frail, she would still want to pick up his great-grandchildren for hugs and kisses whenever she saw them.
She picked up the lightest of the three of them, Christine, and asked, "Did you have fun today, sweetheart?"
Christine wrapped her arms around Pamela's neck and nodded. "Yeah! It was super fun. The food you made was super yummy, Great-grandma! We all love it so much."
Her high praises made Pamela grin from ear to ear. "Really? Then I'll make super yummy food for you every day!"
Christine smiled and nodded. "Yay! But Great-grandma, Bryan didn't have much fun today. He was scolded by Mommy for running off by himself."
Seeing how scared he looked, Corinne said to Pamela, "It's okay, Grandma. I've already lectured him. He must still be experiencing some after-shock. I'm sure he'll be fine and talk to you later in the night."
Pamela looked worriedly at 'Bryan', then back at Corinne. "Corinne, what exactly happened? Is it as Christine said? That Bryan ran off by himself?"
Corinne nodded. "Yeah. He saw a kid with a toy he really liked, so he ran off to find that kid without telling us. It was a good thing we found him quickly. He has promised he won't do it anymore after I scolded him."
Even though Pamela was not on the scene, she could not help but shudder at what happened. "Thank you for your hard work, Corinne. Taking care of three kids isn't easy. Not to mention, they're at a very naughty age where you can't ever take your eyes off them. I'm so glad the family has you."
Corinne smiled. "It's all worth it since they're my kids."

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...
