As reluctant as Bryan was, he did not dare to defy Jeremy. Thus, he unwillingly apologized to Sophia. "I'm sorry…"
Sophia was so happy for Jeremy taking her side that she decided to let Bryan's attitude slide. She started to pretend to be a good person again.
"It's okay, Benjamin. I'm not really angry with you. But make sure you don't speak like that to me again, you hear?"
The only reason Bryan apologized to her was because Jeremy forced him to. He did not sincerely mean it, so he turned his face away from Sophia.
Jeremy looked at Bryan with darkened eyes. "You're right. He is getting ruder. He really needs to be disciplined."
"Forget it. I think Benjamin knows he was wrong. Don't be too harsh on him, Zachary," said Sophia, feigning kindness.
"It's exactly because I was too lenient on him that he became so disrespectful! You should carry on what you were going to do, and I'll give him an earful."
Sophia nodded and secretly smiled. "Okay, I'll leave you to lecture him while I go cook dinner."
Jeremy nodded at Sophia, and he then glared at Bryan.
Seeing this, Sophia smiled smugly as she turned and left.
'Zachary is finally willing to teach that impudent b*stard a lesson. Serves that kid right!' thought Sophia. Seeing Jeremy's stern and angry look, she no longer worried about what the kid would say in front of him. 'Zachary would never believe whatever the kid says. He'll only think that the kid was talking nonsense!'
Bryan pouted, and he looked like he was about to cry. "Sniff… I want my Mommy," he said tearfully as soon as Sophia went out.
Jeremy put his finger to Bryan's lips. "Shh..."
Bryan blinked tearfully. "Huh?"
Jeremy gently pulled the little boy to him and comforted him in a low voice, "There, there. We can't anger Sophia for the time being, so don't talk to her like that in the future."
It was obvious Jason did not want to go back to the Talbot Group building just yet. Sitting in the front passenger seat, he muttered, "Corinne, we rarely go out together, so let's go have a meal together."
Corinne's eyes never left the road when she replied impassively, "Sorry, but I've already eaten."
"You've eaten?" Jason looked at the time. "You mean lunch, right? It's already past three o'clock. We can have dinner in a little while! So how about we have dinner together and then go back to our respective homes?"
"Sorry, I can't."
"Why not? Weren't you at a friend's house when I called you? And I'm sure there's no emergency at your company."
Corinne frowned and was about to retort when Jason suddenly interrupted her and said, "Corinne, look! Who are those two people over there?"
Corinne did not think she should take her eyes off the road while driving, but because Jason was really startled, she could not help but look over to where he was pointing.

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...
