"Since Bryan and Christine have forgiven each other, we should go get some food and eat up here together!" Corinne said.
Joey was the most mature out of the three. He nodded and opened his arms to enter his mother's embrace. "Okay!"
After Corinne carried Joey out, the two little kids who just shook hands and made peace turned against each other again.
Christine crossed her arms and said haughtily, "Hmph! I'm not going to make up with you! You can trick other people, but you can't trick me! You're not my brother! Impostor!"
Benjamin frowned and retorted unhappily, too. "Whatever! I don't care! I just didn't want Mommy to get angry! I never wanted to make up with you in the first place!"
Christine shot him a look of disdain. "You're not my brother! How dare you call my mother 'Mommy'? Shame on you! Don't you have a Mommy of your own?"
Benjamin did not have a reply. He was fond of Christine's mother, but he knew that the lady was not his real mother. His mother was Sophia, whom he could never bring himself to like.
When Christine saw that 'Bryan' had stopped talking, she hopped off the sofa and approached him. She stared at him sternly and asked, "Where did you hide my brother? You're taking my brother's place here. What are you trying to do?"
Benjamin felt guilty under her scrutiny. "I... I am your brother!"
Christine shot back, "You're lying again! You suck at lying! You always blink when you tell a lie!"
Christine tilted her head to one side and pressed further, "What's he like?"
The image of his father appeared in his mind, and he proudly declared, "He's handsome. I'd even say he's the most handsome man in the world!"
Christine pursed her lips and shook her head. "I don't believe you! My uncle is the most handsome man in the world!"
Benjamin responded confidently, "Why should I lie to you? My Daddy is super handsome! Your uncle might be handsome, but he's not as handsome as my Daddy!"
Christine contemplated for a moment and retorted, "I still don't believe you, not unless you bring me to see what your Daddy looks like. Seeing is believing!"

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...
