Corinne turned and saw through the gap in the door that Benson was standing respectfully at the entrance.
When she came back, she deliberately left the door ajar to avoid arousing any suspicion. Although Sunny might be young, he was still a member of the opposite gender. The Rivera household was a place where one must always remain tactful, especially since Anya was around and might try to cause trouble at any time. Being cautious would go a long way in saving her from all the headaches that might come with any trouble.
Corinne walked over, opened the door, and said politely to Benson, "Well, Sunny here had a question that he needed my help to explain."
Sunny snorted and muttered, "When did I ask you for help?"
Benson smiled respectfully and said, "I see. Apologies if he's caused you any trouble! Lunch is ready, by the way, and the cookies Madam Beatrice has specially baked for you are ready too. She sent me to invite you over for lunch with her."
Corinne nodded. "Sure, I'll be there soon."
Sunny placed his pen down and said, "I want to try the cookies grandma baked, too!"
Corinne turned and looked sternly at him. "You're not going anywhere until you finish your homework."
Sunny was never going to obey her. He stood up, walked out with a swagger, and said, "You're not the boss of me! This is my home, and I can do whatever I want!"
Instead of arguing with him, Corinne took out her phone calmly. "Hello, Mister Lucas, I'm—"
Sunny immediately turned back in fear and ended the call. "Okay, okay! I'll stay here and do my homework, alright?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
