Sophia smiled superficially. "You won't even let Mommy hug you? Mommy can't help but feel like you've changed. You're not Mommy's Benjamin anymore."
Bryan would only feel guilty toward the people he liked. Thus, the only emotion he felt toward Sophia was disgust.
'She obviously knows I'm not Benjamin, so she's trying to make me slip up by acting all nice. What a hypocrite,' thought Bryan.
Bryan remained calm and said arrogantly, "I'm a big boy now! What's so weird about me not wanting to be hugged by a woman? Hmph!"
Sophia came closer and looked at him fiercely. "Are you really Benjamin? You do know Santa doesn't bring little boys who lie to their parents presents, right?"
Benjamin already hated Sophia in the first place, and her threat just served to make him hate her even more. In fact, he thought she looked like an evil witch.
"Can't you even tell whether the kid you gave birth to is your own kid? I can't help but think you didn't even really give birth to me!" shouted Bryan.
Sophia was speechless.
"So are you going to call room service or not? If you're not, I'm going to look for Daddy!" urged Bryan impatiently.
Sophia snapped out of her shock and smiled superficially again. "Okay, calm down. Mommy's going to call room service now."
"Hmph! Hurry up! I'm starving," said Bryan.
Sophia took a deep breath and swallowed down her pride. 'One day, I'm going to spank that kid until his butt is as red as a baboon's!'
She assumed that the little boy who was not Benjamin probably wanted to stay there because he did not go to kindergarten and there were lots of toys for him to play with.
Turning sideways to look at her, he asked, "Did I interrupt you working?"
Corinne shrugged. "Yes. If you don't mind, Mister Lucas, can you please give this short?"
Lucas' eyes darkened a little. "Do you remember the painting I gave you last time?"
Corinne's eyes immediately lit up. She nodded and said, "Yes, of course! You said it might be Nellie Nymphaea's recent work since the paint wasn't even dried yet."
"Yes. That painting. My friend contacted me just now, and she said her art teacher is back from her field trip."
Corinne's eyes trembled. "Does that mean I can finally meet Nellie Nymphaea?"

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...
