The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1456

As much as Pamela was relieved to hear that, her heart still went out to Corinne. "Why don't you help the kids wash up and rest a bit? Dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay, Grandma," Corinne replied with a nod.

Joey led Christine upstairs while Corinne followed behind them. A few steps later, she noticed 'Bryan' was not with them.

She turned back around and saw him standing and looking around with a lost expression as though he was a deer caught in a headlight.

Corinne picked him up and blamed herself for scaring him by being overly harsh on him.

"Bryan, Mommy's going to help you wash up. We'll come down to have dinner with Great-grandpa and Great-grandma afterward, okay?"

'Bryan' said nothing. He simply flopped his head down on Corinne's shoulder to get a sense of security. He really liked Corinne's scent; it soothed him.

Francine made sure Corinne and the kids had gone up before sidling up to Pamela, whispering, "Grandma, Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy today. I think Corinne might have been affected… She might be missing Jeremy…"

'What? Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy?' thought Pamela with shock. She then sighed heavily. "It hasn't been easy for Corinne for the past three years. She never once gave up hope that Jeremy would come back."

After Corinne bathed Christine, she blew-dry her hair and helped her change into a pair of pink pajamas. Then, she filled up the bathtub again and asked Joey to bring Bryan in for their bath.

The boys liked to play in the water. She would usually give them some toys, and the boys would play in the water for a while before washing up.

On the bed, Christine was playing with her doll while Corinne looked up some work-related information on her laptop.

A piece of land that Holden Group had been wanting to buy would be up for auction the next day. Jeremy had his eye on that piece of land even before he disappeared. Unfortunately, it was not up for sale then.

The reason he wanted that piece of land was to build a landmark commercial area in the city. He was sure the project would be a hit since the location was very promising.

He was not able to fulfill his dream three years ago, so Corinne thought she would do it for him.
