Corinne had never brought Bryan and his siblings on faraway trips because she was worried about their safety. She insisted they should wait until they were older. As a result, the three of them had never gotten the chance to witness mountains or rivers.
He marveled at the paintings and said, "If these are already so beautiful, I can't even imagine how awesome it would look in real life. I wish I could see it in person."
Lilin was reminded of Sophia's 'control freak' nature when she saw his longing expression. Sophia rarely allowed him to venture outside.
He had a very challenging upbringing. As if being taken away from his biological mother right after birth was not bad enough, he had to be raised under the watchful eyes of a heinous stepmother.
"I'm not even that good at art. The painting by my art teacher is so much closer to the actual scenery. Let me show it to you," Lilin said. Since she was too young to take her little nephew to experience those sights in person, she was very keen to share the artwork with him.
She retrieved her painting, selected a piece, and presented it carefully to Bryan.
"Here it is! This was painted by my art teacher. It's more realistic than mine," Lilin said.
"Wow!" Bryan exclaimed. He was completely captivated by the stunning scenery in the painting. It never crossed his mind that such beautiful places existed. At that moment, he resolved to bring his family to see those incredible landscapes in the future. He admired every inch of the painting until he noticed a signature—Nellie Nymphaea.
Bryan's eyes lit up. "Is Nellie Nymphaea your art teacher?"

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...
