At that moment, someone knocked on the bedroom door.
"Kids, time for dinner! There's barbecue ribs, all of you guy's favorites today!" said Francine from outside the door.
Joey's eyes immediately lit up when he heard there were barbecue ribs. He grabbed 'Bryan's' hand and said, "Let's go eat barbecue ribs now!"
Benjamin snapped out of his shock. He looked at Joey, and then back at Christine.
He still had no idea how to answer Christine. He did not want to admit he was not Bryan as he was afraid Corinne would send him home if he came clean. He still wanted to stay and play.
Thus, he ignored Christine and ran downstairs with Joey.
"Hey, be careful! The barbecue ribs aren't going anywhere so there's no need to run!" said Francine exasperatedly when they dashed past her.
However, the two boys were already out of sight by then.
Francine shook her head and turned to look at Christine. 'Well, I guess it's true girls mature faster than boys,' she thought with relief.
"Christine, where's your Mommy?"
Christine, who was still hugging the doll, pointed to the bathroom. "Mommy's in there."
Francine walked toward the bathroom and took a look inside.
Corinne was picking up the kids' clothes from the floor for the servants to wash later.
Francine took the white polo tee to have a closer look. "Corinne, did you buy this for Bryan? How come I've never heard of this brand?"
Corinne frowned. "I didn't buy it."
"This is odd. If you didn't buy it, and I didn't buy it, how come Bryan has this polo tee? Give me a second, I'm going to look up this brand online."
Francine took out her phone and searched for the brand name online. The result showed that it was an indie brand from Molomia, and the company only sold its products there.
"Well, this is even odder. We haven't been to Molomia for quite a while. How did Bryan end up with this polo tee?" said Francine.
Corinne found the whole thing troubling, too. She was so focused on scolding 'Bryan' at the park that she did not even notice her own son was wearing unfamiliar clothes.

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...
