The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1543

Corinne deleted the message after reading it. At the very least, she was able to put on an act to ensure that Sophia did not suspect anything. They could not allow Sophia to realize they had uncovered the truth. Sophia would only let her guard down if she felt that she was still in control of the situation. There was always a possibility that Sophia might go to the extreme and threaten them with Bryan's safety.

"Mommy, did Sophia come and look for me earlier?" Benjamin asked uneasily. Even though he had not seen Sophia, he was certain he had heard her voice.

Corinne held her son close and reassured him, "No. I won't let her take you away again. Don't worry."

Benjamin's unease toward Sophia made Corinne worry about Bryan. She wondered if Sophia might target Bryan. Retrieving Bryan was not possible, at least not at that moment. It would only raise suspicion and work against their current situation. She hoped that Jeremy would be aware of Bryan's existence and take steps to protect the boy despite having lost his memory.

Corinne brought the kids home as soon as she bought toys for them and comforted them. She then turned on her computer and used several special methods to decode the source of the text she received on her phone. She wanted to try and contact Jeremy.

Elsewhere, at Estee Bistro, Annie sipped her orange juice by the window and spaced out as she gazed at the street. She had waited more than 40 minutes for the blind date her mother had arranged.

Annie's mood was souring fast, and sitting around waiting for someone she had no interest in made it worse. She just had a morning session with her therapist, who encouraged her to try dating again instead of letting fear hold her back.

The man sitting across from her was much, much older than her. He had the old-fashioned style and reeked of grease. Worse of all, he had very little hair left on his head! That did not look remotely like the top student her mother mentioned.

Qualifications notwithstanding, his appearance did not match that of a recent graduate from a top university. He was more like a top student from her father's generation!

"You must be Miss Annie! Sorry, I'm late. The traffic here was terrible. I hope you won't mind the slight delay," said the man.
