"Uhh... Because Xante's with me now?" Sunny replied.
Corinne had a rough idea of what was going on. "Pass her the phone!"
Sunny stayed silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, but she's busy right now. I'll visit you and the children at the Holdens tomorrow. Can we talk then?"
Corinne pursed her lips when he ended the call. 'That little brat!'
"Mommy..." Joey's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Corinne put her phone away and turned, only to see Joey coming in with a worried look. "What's wrong, Joey?"
Joey frowned and said, "Mommy, Bryan and Christine are fighting! I couldn't stop them, but Aunt Francine was teaching them a lesson right now. Please break up their fight, Mommy..."
'Bryan and Christine are fighting?' Corinne found that highly unusual. 'Bryan and Christine were twins who never fought before, so what gives?'
"Where are they now?" Corinne inquired.
Joey took his mother's hand and replied, "In Aunt Francine's room. She's scolding them right now! Hurry up, Mommy! They might cry if Aunt Francine keeps scolding them..."
With Joey leading the way, Corinne followed him to Francine's room with a sense of perplexity.
Inside Francine's room, Bryan and Christine stood with arms crossed. They looked grumpy and refused to acknowledge each other's presence.
Meanwhile, Francine placed her hands on her hips while lecturing them. "How could you hit each other so hard when you're both siblings? I won't tell your mother if you make up with each other now."
She then nodded subtly to the kids to get them to show some remorse. "You've learned your lesson, haven't you?"
After receiving that hint from Francine, they pretended to admit their wrongs even though they were still angry at each other.
'Bryan' and Christine both said, "We're sorry, Mommy!"
Corinne narrowed her eyes as she examined them. What she thought was a minor squabble between siblings had resulted in a rather serious altercation. There were visible signs of a physical altercation—Bryan had three scratches on his face, while Christine's left eye was swollen.
"You two, come with me," said Corinne.
Though her words did not seem to show any emotion, both children shuddered in response.

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...
