Bryan pouted. "But I still want to go up and see for myself…"
"No! You have only two choices now." Lilin raised one finger. "One is to let me go upstairs for you to take a look." She then raised another finger. "And two is for us to go back together with neither of us going upstairs."
Bryan had no choice but to compromise. "Okay! You go, then."
Lilin grinned. "Alright, you just have to trust me!"
…
Jeremy's eyes were fixed on the restroom door. He did not even notice Sophia piling food on his plate. It was not until he saw Bryan coming out of the bathroom and returning to the table obediently that he felt relieved.
Melinda, however, was confused. "Benjamin, why did you come back alone? Where's Lilin?"
"Aunt Lilin said that she suddenly had a stomach ache and wanted to poop, so she asked me to come back first," answered 'Benjamin'.
Melinda was embarrassed when she heard that. 'That Lilin should know better! Everyone is eating here, yet she asked Benjamin to tell everyone she's pooping… Doesn't she know that a kid Benjamin's age soaks up everything they hear and see like a sponge?'
"Uh... Okay, then. We'll go ahead without her. She doesn't eat much anyway. Here, Sophia, eat more meat. You've been losing weight recently," said Melinda with a smile.
…
Meanwhile, Lilin snuck up to the second floor of the restaurant. The private rooms on the second floor were almost full, so she had to check them individually.
Lilin was stunned. It never crossed her mind that there would be an attached restroom in the private room.
Nonetheless, her mind worked quickly, and she immediately came up with a reasonable explanation. "Someone else was using the restroom in the private room I was in, and I couldn't hold it in anymore, so I ran out alone! Mister, can you take me to find my mommy?"
Seeing the little girl with tears in her eyes, the waiter could not help but feel sorry for her. "Okay, okay! Don't cry. I'll take you from room to room to find your mommy."
Having succeeded, Lilin jumped for joy mentally while she kept her pitiful look on her face. She nodded docilely and said, "Thank you, Mister."
The waiter took her hand and led her to the first private room in the east end. He knocked on the door, led Lilin in, and asked if someone had lost their daughter.
Lilin, on the other hand, took this time to look carefully at the faces of everyone in the room to see if any woman looked similar to Bryan.

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...
