The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1757

Upon hearing Zachary's words, Sophia reconsidered. "Um... Alright. I'll have my dad arrange for you and Benjamin to go back to Molomia first. I'll go back too once everything is sorted out here."

Sophia would not have let Zachary and Benjamin go back to Molomia first if she were not so worried about Corinne stealing them. Sophia believed it was best for her to keep them in her sights, but she had to deal with the tax investigation then and would not have the time to look after them.

'Well, I suppose it should be fine for Zachary and Benjamin to head back to Molomia for now. As long as Dad's people are keeping an eye on them, things should go smoothly once they're there,' thought Sophia.

Zachary nodded. "So, now that's settled, just go and rest. I'll wait here for the room service to come."

Sophia felt grateful and pleasantly surprised by the unexpected care he was showing her. "Thanks, Zachary. It means a lot to me to have you here. I'll definitely miss you and Benjamin when you go back to Molomia."

However, Zachary simply ignored her.

Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door from room service.

Thus, Zachary maneuvered the wheelchair to open the door.

…

The fireworks show had started, and Corinne and the three kids were enjoying it from the VIP platform.

Bryan and Christine were excitedly jumping around, completely overjoyed and thrilled. Lost in the enjoyment of the day's festivities, they were oblivious to everything else.

"It's okay, Mommy! From now on, you're not alone. I'll be with you, and Bryan and Christine will also be there. Even Daddy too...when he's back..."

Corinne stroked his head again. "Thank you, sweetheart! Please remember that you're never alone too. You have me, Bryan, Christine, and Daddy with you too."

There was a newfound brightness in Joey's eyes; it seemed like the reflection of the fireworks in the sky and also of hope.

It was already late at night by the time they got home.

The fireworks show did not actually end very late, but due to the crowded conditions, Corinne worried about losing the children in the peak hours and darkness. After all, she had brought the kids alone and had no assistance. Thus, she waited until the very end in the amusement park before finally leaving with the kids.
