"Zachary, I'm back!" Sophia shouted as soon as she walked in through the door.
Both Jeremy and Bryan were watching the television in the living room. No one looked over at Sophia when they heard her coming back.
"Okay," said Jeremy lightly.
Sophia was used to his indifference. She walked to the sofa with the groceries she bought from the supermarket.
"Zachary, look! I passed by the supermarket on my way back and bought a lot of fresh ingredients. I'm going to make you some beef stew I just learned today!" said Sophia while shaking the plastic bag in her hand.
Jeremy raised his eyes and looked at her passively. "You've been busy all day, so you don't have to cook today."
Sophia shook her head and insisted, "I'm not tired! Zachary, I found that I actually like cooking. I get a sense of achievement every time I see you and Benjamin eating the food I cooked."
Jeremy said nothing. He was not going to offer up any more opinions if she insisted on cooking. He would just let her do it. It did not really matter to him whether Sophia cooked or not since he did not have any appetite anyway.
Bryan, on the other hand, muttered innocently, "We eat the food you cook, not because it's yummy but because we have no choice. If we don't eat it, we'll end up starving."
Sophia's face stiffened before she forced an awkward smile. "Benjamin, you shouldn't speak so bluntly! You won't be able to get a wife when you grow up if you speak like this."
"Of course I wouldn't talk like that to my future wife. I'm not stupid!"
Sophia was stunned for a moment. She then let go of Bryan and looked at Jeremy in shock. "Jeremy, I'm just disciplining this child! You've also seen how he's becoming ruder to me! He doesn't treat me with respect at all! And I'll be d*mned if I'm going to let him continue to treat me like that."
Jeremy pulled Bryan over to check his swollen ears. He then glared at Sophia angrily. "You shouldn't resort to violence when disciplining a kid! How can you be so cruel? He's only three years old, for god's sake!"
"I didn't use any force just now. I just wanted to scare him!" said Sophia innocently. "Zachary, you shouldn't believe everything this kid says. He's just trying to make you take his side and drive a wedge between us! I think we really need to discipline him, or he won’t even listen to you in the future!"
Bryan nestled in Jeremy's arms pitifully. "Who says I won't listen to Daddy? I'll do anything he says!"
Sophia looked at him. "Why don't you listen to Mommy, then?"

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...
