Annie looked at her with pity and annoyance. "Of course I know you'll only feel better if you can vent it out on Uncle Jeremy, but he's still missing, Corinne! Francine and I are really worried that you're going to explode one day!"
Corinne thought of the man in the wheelchair who seemed to be having the time of his life. "Well, I won't have to keep all those emotions in for long…"
Annie was a little taken aback. "What do you mean? Corinne, are you saying that…there's a lead on Uncle Jeremy's whereabouts?"
Before Corinne could answer her, David came in with 'Bryan', who immediately threw himself into Corinne's arms.
Corinne stroked his head and looked up at David. "How did it go? Did you find out the reason for his behavior change?"
David nodded. "Yes, but I need to speak to you in private. Would you mind following me upstairs?"
Corinne instinctively feared for the worst, that her son indeed had some kind of serious mental health problem.
Frowning, she passed 'Bryan' to Annie and then got up to follow David upstairs.
David led her to his counseling office, where he normally had one-on-one counseling with his clients.
After sitting behind his desk, he waved her over. "Have a seat, Miss Corinne."
Corinne pulled out her chair and sat down. "What is this about? Is my son's condition serious?" she asked anxiously.
David shook his head. "After talking to your son, I concluded he's just shy. So there's no need for him to have a counseling session."
'Shy? That's impossible. I gave birth to him and raised him, so how could I not know my own son's personality?' thought Corinne.
"What do you mean? How can he suddenly feel like his home is unfamiliar when he lived there all his life? Did he have a memory loss or something?"
At the words 'memory loss', Corinne's tone became vehement.
David was perplexed, too. There was just something he could not figure out.
"Miss Corinne, I didn't mean that. Uh… What I meant is… Is there a possibility that the kid downstairs isn't your real son at all?"
During his talk with 'Bryan', he discovered a lot of contradictory points. It was as if the boy was trying to hide something from him. Nonetheless, the boy's mental health was under no threat whatsoever.
David's question shocked Corinne.

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...
