Lilin walked up to Sophia with a frown and looked up at her sister, who was much taller. She stretched out her hand and said, "You wanted to give back the painting to me, right? Well, give it."
Sophia did not notice anything peculiar with the painting, and she was not prepared to argue with Lilin in front of Adam. After all, she had just promised her father that she would get along well with her sister, so she happily returned the painting to Lilin.
Lilin rolled her eyes at Sophia after taking back the painting. She then handed it to 'Benjamin' in front of everyone and said, "Here! Take better care of the painting I gave you next time!"
Bryan's unease improved slightly after he took the painting back. He pouted and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lilin!"
Lilin replied, "You're welcome!" She then turned to look at Adam and said, "See, Dad? Benjamin is a very sensible, polite little boy. Some people just don't know how to teach their children!"
Adam had a slightly contorted expression, while Sophia gritted her teeth after hearing the sarcasm in Lilin's words.
Lilin ignored Sophia and held the boy's hand. "Come with me. I'll bring you to your father's room!"
Bryan nodded and said, "Okay." He left obediently with Lilin, while Sophia was left to deal with Adam's scrutinous gaze.
Once they left the suite, Lilin looked around to make sure Sophia was not following them. She then whispered to 'Benjamin', "I know you're not Benjamin."
Bryan's expression froze. He stiffened, and he looked at Lilin with shock and guilt.
His reaction all but confirmed Lilin's guess. "I can see that you hate Sophia as much as I do."

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...
