That evening, Corinne went to fetch the kids from the kindergarten as usual.
While waiting for the automatic gate to open, a man holding cartoon balloons walked past their car.
Christine's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the cartoon balloons.
"Mommy, can I get a pink balloon?" she asked.
Corinne looked up from her phone, and a hint of doubt flashed across her face when she saw the balloon seller outside her window.
However, she still agreed to Christine's request. "Sure. You three can each choose one."
"Thank you, Mommy!" said the three kids in unison.
After that, they all got out of the car to choose the balloon they liked. Even though they were just outside the mansion, Corinne made sure she kept her eyes on the kids.
While the kids were choosing their balloons, she looked the balloon seller up and down. The balloon seller was a man around the age of 40, and she did not find anything odd about him.
He smiled kindly at the kids and asked them what balloon they wanted.
Very quickly, the three kids finished selecting their balloons, and they were all smiles as they held their balloons.
"How much do I need to pay you for the balloons?" Corinne asked the balloon seller.
"It's two dollars each, so the total is six dollars."
"Don't worry about it. All the best yeah," said Corinne as she took the change. She then walked into the mansion compound.
Francine, all dolled up, was just on her way to a date when she bumped into Corinne.
She looked at the balloon seller, who was walking away, and asked Corinne, "Why would a balloon seller be selling his balloons here?"
Corinne turned around and glanced at the balloon seller once more. "You think it's weird too, right?"
Even though their mansion was not located in a gated community, there would rarely be vendors peddling their wares there.
"Yeah, it's weird. Maybe someone told him we have three kids here, so he thought he'd try his luck in earning some money."

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...
