Sophia then said, "I'll make something that you and Benjamin both like to eat. I'll let you know once I'm done."
Zachary did not respond. Sophia waited for a while before heading to the kitchen.
Inside the room, Zachary waited until Sophia left. His cold gaze then turned warm as he looked at Benjamin's swollen eyes.
"Why did you cry so much? Didn't I tell you I'd be back soon?" Zachary's voice was firm, but his hand movements were gentle as he gently rubbed Benjamin's swollen eyes.
Benjamin pouted and replied dejectedly, "Daddy, I... I don't like it here. I want to go back to Mommy Corinne... I..."
Before the child could say anything further, Zachary placed a finger to his lips and urged him to be quiet. They needed to be cautious about discussing 'Mommy Corinne' here.
Benjamin understood his father's gesture and sniffled before falling silent. Zachary lifted him in his arms and whispered, "I know you miss her very much, and so do I. But it won't be long until our family is reunited."
Benjamin looked at him with surprise and whispered back, "Is that true, Dad? Can we live with Mommy Corinne, Joey, and Christine, too?"
Zachary nodded with certainty. "Yes. We'll never be separated again after that."

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...
