As much as Pamela was relieved to hear that, her heart still went out to Corinne. "Why don't you help the kids wash up and rest a bit? Dinner will be ready soon."
"Okay, Grandma," Corinne replied with a nod.
Joey led Christine upstairs while Corinne followed behind them. A few steps later, she noticed 'Bryan' was not with them.
She turned back around and saw him standing and looking around with a lost expression as though he was a deer caught in a headlight.
Corinne picked him up and blamed herself for scaring him by being overly harsh on him.
"Bryan, Mommy's going to help you wash up. We'll come down to have dinner with Great-grandpa and Great-grandma afterward, okay?"
'Bryan' said nothing. He simply flopped his head down on Corinne's shoulder to get a sense of security. He really liked Corinne's scent; it soothed him.
Francine made sure Corinne and the kids had gone up before sidling up to Pamela, whispering, "Grandma, Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy today. I think Corinne might have been affected… She might be missing Jeremy…"
'What? Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy?' thought Pamela with shock. She then sighed heavily. "It hasn't been easy for Corinne for the past three years. She never once gave up hope that Jeremy would come back."
After Corinne bathed Christine, she blew-dry her hair and helped her change into a pair of pink pajamas. Then, she filled up the bathtub again and asked Joey to bring Bryan in for their bath.
The boys liked to play in the water. She would usually give them some toys, and the boys would play in the water for a while before washing up.
On the bed, Christine was playing with her doll while Corinne looked up some work-related information on her laptop.
A piece of land that Holden Group had been wanting to buy would be up for auction the next day. Jeremy had his eye on that piece of land even before he disappeared. Unfortunately, it was not up for sale then.
The reason he wanted that piece of land was to build a landmark commercial area in the city. He was sure the project would be a hit since the location was very promising.
He was not able to fulfill his dream three years ago, so Corinne thought she would do it for him.
Ghostlord did not think forgetting about the past was a good thing. In fact, he wanted to know what happened to him in the past. [Were we friends in the past?]
Corinne thought about it; it would be an overreach for her to call them friends.
[Umm…it'll be more accurate to say we're online friends. We're actually not that close.]
[Then have we seen each other in real life before?]
[Yes, and no. A few years back, we both attended a hacker conference, but we were wearing masks then.]
[Where was the hacker conference held?]
[Kanton City.]

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...
