At that moment, Francine wanted nothing more than to take a bath and slather on some skincare since she had a date with Chester the next day. She did not want him to see her all sunburnt! That being said…
"Corinne, are you taking the kids out for shopping later? How about I go, too? That way, you'll have one more pair of eyes looking after them," she said.
Corinne nodded. "I'm thinking of taking them to the toy shop nearby after Benj—Bryan wakes up. It'll only be a while, so you don't have to come. Go do whatever you want to do."
She nearly spilled out Benjamin's name. It was a good thing Francine did not catch it.
Francine nodded. "Okay then. I'm going to take a bath now. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay. Enjoy your bath."
Francine went back to her room happily and bathed.
Corinne's phone rang with a message not long after Francine left. She took out her phone, and her pupils immediately shrank when she read the message.
Christine instantly noticed Corinne's reaction, so she frowned and asked, "Mommy, what's the matter?"
Corinne snapped out of her shock, shook her head, and nonchalantly replied, "It's nothing. Let's go change your clothes, and we'll go shopping for your gifts after Bryan wakes up."
"Yay!" cheered Christine and Joey.
…
Meanwhile, at Newmoon Group.
"Yes, Miss Xante," replied her secretary before leaving the room.
However, a few minutes later, Xante heard her secretary saying, "No, you can't go in… Gah!"
Her door then opened.
Sunny swaggered in with both his hands shoved into his pockets. He looked at her mockingly and said, "Just how much do you not want to see me? Why did you ask your secretary to tell me you're not in when you obviously are?"
Xante looked up at him unhappily. "Mister Sunny, it's true you've become more mature, but don't you think you've become ruder as well?"
Sunny walked over and pulled out a chair. "It depends on who I'm talking to, and I see no need to be polite to you."

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...
