Sophia thought that was a lame excuse on Jeremy's part. After all, the bed was a king-size bed, so there was plenty of room for all three of them to sleep in the same bed together.
However, Jeremy's face would inevitably darken whenever he saw her coming in with her pillow and blanket. He then would tell her he did not wish for her to see his crippled legs.
At first, Sophia thought it was his pride that made him say that. As time went on, she began to think he simply did not want to sleep in the same bed with her.
'I've been nothing less than attentive to his needs for the past three years, so why won't he love me back?' she thought sadly.
"Okay. You sleep early too, Zachary."
"Okay."
Sophia walked out of the room sadly, but before she closed the door, she threw a murderous glance at the sleeping kid on the bed.
'That kid is definitely not Benjamin,' she thought.
How could she be so sure? It was because she purposely put green peppers, which Benjamin hated the most, into the omelet she cooked for dinner. Not only did the boy not recoil from the taste, but he even ate a lot.
The real Benjamin would never eat green peppers. Not wanting him to be a picky eater, Jeremy tried many ways to get him to eat green peppers, but he would rather starve than eat them. In the end, Jeremy gave up.
Sophia did not believe a kid's taste would change in such a short time. Even though she had no idea who the kid was, she was sure he was not Benjamin.
Corinne had not slept well for the past few days, and especially on the night she went to find Jeremy.
"I told you I wanted to introduce a therapist friend to you, remember? And you said you'd come with me when you're free on the weekend?" said Annie again.
Corinne had forgotten about it. She was so tired that all she wanted to do was continue sleeping.
"Let's go another day. I'm not really in a rush to meet him. Tell your friend we'll see him another day," she said.
Annie frowned. "No! He's usually so busy that you can't even get an appointment within the next couple of months. Today's only his free day, so let's go!"

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...
