It was already dark by the time Corinne and the kids got home.
She had planned to take the kids home after eating at the restaurant, but Sunny insisted on taking them to the indoor playground to play for a while.
Naturally, the three kids were eager to go, and she did not have the heart to say no to them when she saw their big puppy eyes looking at her.
Once they arrived at the indoor playground, Corinne called Francine to tell her that they would be home later than usual.
Francine immediately sensed something was not right from Corinne's tone alone. "Corinne, are you okay? Why do you sound so tired? Are you not feeling well?"
"It's nothing. I'm fine. Remember to tell Grandma that we'll be home late, or she's going to worry again."
"Okay…"
Corinne pinched the bridge of her nose after she hung up the phone. She was physically alright, but her mental state was failing. That was why she sounded a little off on the phone.
However, she felt better after watching her three kids playing happily on the giant trampoline.
As soon as Corinne entered the mansion, she heard the sound of people talking, but those voices did not belong to Pamela or Greg.
She ushered the kids to the living room and saw Xante, Annie, and Francine having a good time talking to each other.
'Huh. Never thought they'd have something common to talk about,' thought Corinne.
She cleared her throat, and the three women turned to look at her.
'Bryan' remained stuck to Corinne's side. He wrapped his arms around her leg and looked at Xante with alarm.
'That's weird. He'd usually hug me like Christine whenever he saw me. I wonder what's up with him today,' thought Xante.
"Bryan, don't you like Auntie Xante anymore?" she asked the little boy.
'Bryan' had no idea who Xante was at all, so he simply hid behind Corinne.
Xante frowned for a second. She then picked up Christine. "Boss, is Bryan okay? Did he get scolded by you again?"
Corinne looked down at her son, who had become shy and timid suddenly. She, too, was wondering why he had been acting weirdly for the past few days.

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...
