Corinne went closer to have a look. There were only crumbs left in Christine's bag of potato chips.
As for Bryan, he was rolling and crawling all over the floor with his toy soldiers as though possessed while shoving the potato chips into his mouth from time to time.
Corinne could never let Joey eat whatever was left in that bag, not after she saw how unhygienic Bryan was. Thus, instead of asking Bryan to share his potato chips, Corinne stroked Joey's head and said, "Sweetheart, Mommy will go buy you some more potato chips afterward, okay?"
Joey simply nodded docilely.
Suddenly, Corinne heard her phone buzzing, so walked over to check on it. It was an encrypted message which could only be unlocked with certain skills.
Decrypting the message was a piece of cake for Corinne. She sat at the side of her bed and started typing in codes. A few minutes later, the message was finally decrypted. It was a message from Jeremy.
[Are you home yet?]
Corinne scoffed, but she could not help but smile. She also replied with an encrypted message, [Yes. I'm playing with the kids right now.]
A short while later, Jeremy replied, [You must be tired after a long day. I'm going to make it up to you when I'm home.]
Corinne stared at the message. Somehow, she could tell that he did not mean it literally.
She thought for a while before replying, [Not at all! But you'll be doing me a huge favor by taking care of the kids.]
[No, that's different. The kids are the kids, and you are you. So I'm going to make it up to you in another way, my dear wife,] replied Jeremy almost immediately.

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...
