Sophia grabbed Bryan and pulled the painting from behind him. She then pushed him away and examined the painting. As she laid eyes on the artwork, she came to realize that it was just an ordinary landscape painting.
Bryan was infuriated after his painting was snatched away. He attempted to jump up and reclaim it, but Sophia's taller stature made it impossible for him to reach it. He yelled, "Give it back! Give that painting back to me!"
Sophia turned the painting over to see if there was anything out of the ordinary on the back, but the painting was rather normal like before. However, the irate expression on Corinne's child delighted her greatly, and she deliberately withheld the painting from him to revel in his misery.
Their commotion eventually caught the attention of Adam, Melinda, and Lilin.
"What's happening, Sophia? Why is the boy making such a fuss?" Adam asked sternly as he came out of the room with his hands behind his back.
Sophia smiled at her father and explained, "Don't worry about it. He insisted on running out on his own, and he got upset when I tried to stop him."
Melinda looked sympathetically at the profusely sweating 'Benjamin' and waved to him. "Come here, Benjamin. You shouldn't run off on your own. I'll put on some cartoons for you, okay?"
Bryan never took kindly to Sophia, and he was never going to consider Adam and Melinda as his grandparents. He ignored Melinda's invitation and continued to jump and reach for the painting in Sophia's hand, demanding, "I don't want to watch cartoons! I want my painting back; give it back to me!"
Melinda was not angry at him—just helpless.

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...
