The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1473

Corinne stared at Edmund sympathetically.

"That's enough, Mister Lucas," she said, jumping in to defend the poor man. She then turned to Edmund and said, "Why don't you go out first, Edmund?"

Edmund bowed to her gratefully. "Yes, Miss Corinne."

Lucas became even more upset and jealous when he heard her call Edmund without using the word 'Mister'.

'How can she be so casual with Edmund when I don't get to have that privilege?' he thought seethingly. 'Hmph! Oh well.'

Not wanting Corinne to think he was ill-tempered, Lucas decided to let the whole thing slide. He waved 'Bryan' over, saying, "Come here, Bryan."

'Bryan' became a little sad at being scolded by Corinne. At first, he was hesitant to go over to Lucas, but he somehow felt like he was familiar, so he walked over to him docilely.

Lucas picked him up lovingly. "What's the matter? Did you get scolded by your Mommy?"

'Bryan' nodded with a pout.

Lucas patted him gently on the head. "That's because she's worried about you. You shouldn't run off by yourself next time, understood? She's going to be worried about you again if you do."

Corinne looked angrily at 'Bryan'. "Next time? I'm not going to look for him next time. He can go wherever he wants!"

Even though Sophia told Benjamin she was his Mommy, he never felt that way about her. She felt more like a stranger to him, but the same could not be said about Corinne. For some reason, he found Corinne as familiar as his father and would always want her to hug him.

'Could it be that the kind lady is actually my real Mommy? But… Daddy has never met her before, so how could she give birth to me?' he thought. He told himself it was impossible for Corinne to be his Mommy and that he was being delusional.

Corinne's heart softened when she saw the boy crying nonstop. "Stop crying. A big boy like you shouldn't cry so much. Come here. You're dirtying your uncle's clothes with your tears and snot."

'Bryan' looked at the wet spot created by him on Lucas' suit sheepishly.

"It's okay. I don't mind," said Lucas with a doting smile.
