Jeremy only looked away from Corinne after she went back inside her private booth. He looked down at the boy who looked exactly like his son, and when he saw the fear in the boy's face, he thought, 'He seems like he's really scared of being found by that woman.'
He put his hand on Bryan's head and said, "Come now. Let's go inside."
Bryan snapped out of his trance and went inside the private booth with Jeremy.
Sophia could not help but worry that Jeremy had seen Corinne since it was not that long ago that Corinne left.
"Zachary, what took you and Benjamin so long?" she asked with an unnatural smile on her face.
In contrast to her, Jeremy's expression remained impassive.
"Benjamin was experiencing some minor diarrhea, so I waited for him to be done. By the way, who was that?" he asked naturally as though they were just having a casual conversation.
"Beats me. She was just some random woman who thought this was her private booth," replied Sophia as naturally as she could while staring at Jeremy's reaction.
'So he did see Corinne after all… But judging from his reaction, he doesn't seem like he remembers who she is,' she thought.
"I see," came Jeremy's simple reply. It was as if he was not curious about anything at all.
Still worried, Sophia probed him by asking, "Are you asking because you think she's pretty? Did she see you too?"
"No. I only saw her back as she walked out of here, to be honest. Is she pretty? How pretty?" replied Jeremy disinterestedly.
To her surprise, 'Benjamin' pushed her away. He did not like her one bit, so he did not want to be carried by her. "I don't want you to carry me! I can walk by myself!"
'What's the matter with this kid? When did he become so temperamental?' thought Sophia with a frown. 'One second, he's running out to apologize to me, and the next he won't let me touch him? Ugh, forget it. Now's not the time to think about all this. We need to leave before Corinne sees us!'
"Okay, Benjamin. You can walk by yourself. Mommy will wheel Daddy out, then."
Sophia walked over to Jeremy and wheeled him out of the room.
Jeremy's expression remained impassive. As always, he let Sophia wheel him out without saying anything.
"You're not my Mommy," muttered Bryan under his breath.

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...
