The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1529

"You should worry about yourself instead of others. How have you been lately?" David asked Annie when he saw Annie's confused expression.

Annie snapped out of her thoughts. Shrugging, she said, "Same old, same old. Happy at times, sad at times… You know."

"How about your sleep? Has it improved?"

Annie sighed. "Not really. It'll take me at least a few hours to fall asleep. I keep having nightmares as well, so I always wake up tired."

David put down his cup of coffee. "We might really need to put you on pills if this continues," he said seriously.

Corinne walked around the neighborhood with 'Bryan' in her arms to look for a taxi, but not one was in sight.

The neighborhood they were in was a high-end area reserved only for the wealthy. This meant that not many people there would require a taxi, nor would taxi drivers go there to solicit for business.

After a while, her arms started to feel sore from carrying 'Bryan'.

She thought she would find a place to talk with the boy since she could not find a taxi for the time being.

She spotted a walled flower bed in front of them, so she walked over, sat 'Bryan' down on top of the wall, and sat down herself.

'Bryan' blinked at her innocently. "Mommy, aren't we going home?"

Corinne narrowed her eyes. She held his face with both hands to look at him closely. Alas, she could not find anything different about him at all.

'Bryan' frowned anxiously. "Mommy… What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Corinne's eyes darkened slightly. "You're not really Bryan, are you?"

Guilt immediately filled the boy's eyes. "I…"

Corinne's heart ached even more when she heard him calling her 'Aunt Corinne'.

'So he has no idea that I'm his real mother,' she thought.

"Are you not happy living with your Daddy? Is that why you want to stay with me?" she asked.

Benjamin shook his head. "No, it's not that. My Daddy loves me very much and spends time with me everyday, but I don't like the woman we're living with. She keeps Daddy and I locked up in the house."

Corinne frowned. She naturally knew who the woman was.

"Is the woman not good to you two?" she asked.

Benjamin shook his head again. However, he did not know how to explain what he thought of Sophia to Corinne.

"She said she's my Mommy, and she takes very good care of me and Daddy. But she controls our freedom, especially Daddy's! She wouldn't let us go out or talk to anyone else."
