When Bryan saw the painting being taken back, he gazed at Lilin in confusion and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to give it to me? Why are you taking it back?"
Lilin rolled her eyes and replied annoyedly, "I agreed to give you the painting, but I didn't say you could give it to Sophia." She harbored a very strong resentment toward Sophia and believed that the woman did not deserve to be given that painting.
Bryan felt a bit disheartened. "But Sophia isn't..." he tried protesting but stopped himself before he could finish his sentence. He could not afford to reveal his true identity as it might make things troublesome for his father. He decided to wait until he could put Corinne in touch with Lilin so she could purchase the painting.
Lilin was eager to hear what 'Benjamin' was about to say and urged him, "Finish your sentence. Sophia isn't…?"
Bryan shook his head and replied, "No, forget about it, Aunt Lilin. You're right. I shouldn't use the painting you gave me to make Mommy happy. I don't want the painting anymore. You should focus on your homework. I'll go back to my Daddy's room."
The disappointment on his face was unbearably depressing, so Lilin called out to him, "Hey! Wait..."
Bryan turned and asked, "Yes, Aunt Lilin?"
Lilin took the painting out of the folder again and handed it to him. "Here. Take it."
Bryan was pleasantly surprised. He took the painting and stared at her in slight confusion. "Are you sure?"
"Yes.” Lilin nodded and said, "You can have it! Feel free to do whatever you want with it. It's yours now!"
Bryan beamed with joy. "Thank you, Aunt Lilin!"

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...
