The Day I Kissed An Older Man

-Corinne knew Sophia was testing her, so she feigned surprise. “Triplets? You must’ve remembered wrongly. I have three children, but I only gave birth to twins. The eldest was adopted by Jeremy under some circumstances in the past.”

Sophia locked eyes with Corinne intently. “Are you sure? I heard rumors you had triplets.” Her primary aim was to determine whether Corinne knew Bryan and Benjamin were switched. She had seen Corinne talking gently to Benjamin but could not discern the contents of their conversation.

Corinne knew right away that Sophia was up to something. “Where did you hear that from? One of the doctors told me during my prenatal check-up that I was carrying triplets. I remember that clearly, but I gave birth only to twins! I kept convincing myself that I must’ve misheard him. I’m surprised you heard similar rumors, too. Could you tell me who told you that? Does that person know what happened? Did they see someone take one of my children away?”

Midway through the conversation, Corinne held Sophia’s hand to give more credibility to her act.

Sophia, taken aback by Corinne’s response, withdrew her hand following Corinne’s questioning. She cleared her throat and said, “I can’t remember who mentioned it, but I heard people saying you had triplets. That person might’ve thought the adopted child was one of the triplets.”
