The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1454

However, there was no one there at all, apart from a black SUV that had just driven away.

Corinne's face gradually softened. She turned back and said gently to 'Bryan', "No more next time, you hear? You shouldn't run off by yourself no matter what because you'll make Mommy worry."

'Bryan' stared at Corinne dazedly. His resistance went down after Corinne changed her tone. This was markedly different from the attitude he held toward Sophia; he would rebel against her no matter what she said to him.

Corinne hugged 'Bryan' tightly and gently patted his back. "You like those cartoon toys, right? Don't cry. Mommy will buy you and Joey lots of cartoon toys, okay?"

Benjamin knew his name was not Bryan, but he could not resist Corinne's gentleness. Thus, he nodded and rested his head on her shoulder. "Okay."

Everyone smiled when the mother and son made peace. Only Christine frowned with a heavy heart at the scene.

…

Back at the hotel, the real Bryan had fallen asleep on Jeremy's lap.

Sophia wheeled Jeremy into the bedroom. Just when she reached out to pick up Bryan, he started crying in his dreams. She immediately pulled her hand back and the little boy stopped crying.

She tried a few more times to pick him up, but she failed. "Why is this kid being so difficult?"

Jeremy looked down at Bryan with eyes full of fatherly love. "It's okay. I'll take care of him myself. You should get some rest too."

"Sure," said Jeremy with a nod.

After Sophia went into the bathroom, Jeremy maneuvered his wheelchair to the side of the bed and then put Bryan down on the bed.

Bryan frowned at the movement before turning to his side without waking up.

Jeremy was gently pulling the blanket over Brayn when the little boy muttered, "Mommy, Bryan wants to eat chocolate… Mommy, hug me to sleep…"

'Bryan? Who's Bryan? Why is my son calling himself a name I've never heard before?' thought Jeremy with shock.
