The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1716

"No! I'm not going to do that!" retorted Adam. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I hear what you two are saying. Please give me some time to think about it."

Melinda and Lilin exchanged glances. It seemed there was hope.

Adam stood up and said, "You two can stay here for as long as you want. I'm going to get out of your hair first. But I'll arrange for a few bodyguards to protect you two. I'll come back to pick you two up after I've thought everything through."

After that, he turned around and walked out of the door.

Lilin watched as he left, then turned to ask Melinda, "Mommy, do you think Daddy will agree to our condition?"

Melinda shook her head. "I'm not sure. Sophia is just too important to him, after all."

Lilin spread out her hands. "Sigh! I wish Daddy would wake up soon. I hate to see Sophia emotionally manipulating him like that."

Melinda sighed and was about to say something when her phone buzzed with the sound of a notification. She took out her phone and saw it was a text message from her best friend, Emily.

[Mel, have you found the photo of the girl you said looked like my daughter? Don't forget to send it to me if you have.]

Melinda had almost forgotten that she promised Emily to send her a photo of Corinne. She could not find any photo of her online and did not know anywhere else to look.

Seeing that Melinda was in a dilemma, Lilin asked her, "Mommy, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Melinda sighed again. "Your art teacher wants to see a photo of Corinne because I think she really looked like her when she was young. But I can't find any photo of her. I'm afraid your art teacher's going to be disappointed."

They tried to persuade them not to run around, but the kids would not listen. In a fit of desperation, the two maids told them they would give them two bags of potato chips if they went back to their room quietly to continue with their handwriting practice.

With the promise of potato chips dangling over them, the two kids thought about it and agreed to the deal. Thus, they obediently went back to the room and picked up their pens again.

Keeping their part of the deal, the maids went to get the two bags of potato chips they secretly hid away and gave the kids each a bag.

Even though Corinne grounded them from eating junk food for a month, they had to do what they had to do. They were sure Corinne would understand once they had explained the situation to her. After all, Corinne had always been a very understanding employer.

However, Joey—who had just woken up—came into the room to find Corinne before she returned. It had always been his habit to look for his favorite person in the whole world after he had just woken up, but when he went into the room, he only saw Bryan and Christine doing their handwriting practice with the two maids supervising them.
