Bryan sat up and scratched his head. "What are you talking about, Daddy? I don't understand what you're saying."
"You're not my son," said Jeremy sternly.
Bryan was shocked. He could not hide the guilt on his face anymore. Finally, he pouted and said, "Fine, I admit I'm not your son…"
'Well, at least he's honest,' thought Jeremy. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you pretend to be my son? Did someone put you up to it? Just what are you trying to achieve?"
Bryan shook his head quickly and put up his hands. "No, no! I'm not trying to achieve anything! I just thought you were very handsome and fatherly. I don't have a father, so I wanted to experience what it's like to have one…"
For some reason, Jeremy could not help but feel a tug at his heart when he saw how pitiful and sincere Bryan looked.
All sorts of possibilities ran through his mind. For example, someone made the child look like Benjamin through an ancient art of face disguise called Metamorph so he could spy on him and Sophia.
However, he found no trace of the child having undergone any physical changes. The child's skin was as real as it could be. Thus, Jeremy ruled out that possibility.
"When did you swap places with my son?" asked Jeremy, even though he knew the answer since he could remember the exact moment he found out his son was acting weird. He just wanted confirmation.
'So he was crying for his real mother and not Sophia, then. But how could another boy out there look exactly like my son? Do doppelgangers exist?'
"Call your Mommy now and tell her where you are. Ask her to bring my son back and tell her also that I'm going to make her pay if my son is hurt in any way," said Jeremy after thinking it over.
Bryan frowned. "Don't worry, Mister. My mommy is a super nice lady. Your son must really look like me for her to mistake him for me. She'll definitely treat him well since she thinks he's me!"
Jeremy considered himself a cautious and suspicious person, but for some reason, he did not feel at all worried about the bizarre situation.

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...
