Corinne brought some baby food for Joey. She told him to stop playing for a while and have dinner first.
Joey was very obedient. He swiftly put down the toy and got off the bed to eat his dinner. Corinne taught him to eat with a spoon, and Joey followed suit with a nod. His movements might be a bit clumsy, but he was able to learn how to eat.
Corinne could not help but feel a little emotional when she watched him use the spoon. She was leaving, and she did not know if the Holdens would take good care of her once she left. Since he was not blood-related to anyone in the household, there was no guarantee that the jerk Jeremy might treat his adopted son well in the future. Even if he did, he was the kind of man who had little time to take care of his children.
That was one of the reasons she taught Joey to eat with a spoon. He would be independent enough to feed himself if no one fed him after she left.
She was staring at Joey in a daze when her cell phone began to ring. She had two mobile phones at that moment: One was her own, and the other was left by Xante.
The ringing came from her phone, and the caller was none other than Jeremy.
Corinne was surprised that Jeremy would give her a call. 'Where did he get the time to call her when he was with his legal wife in another country?'
His act proved that Aaron was right in calling him a control freak.
Corinne snorted and answered the phone.
She scoffed and answered the call. She did not take the initiative to say anything, and neither did Jeremy. In the end, however, Jeremy spoke first and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Keeping an eye on Joey while he eats his dinner," Corinne answered.
"And you? Have you eaten?"
"Yes."
Corinne answered bluntly, "Yes."
Jeremy replied with an even more displeased tone. "Let's end the call, then. I have nothing more to say to you."
Corinne hung up without hesitation.
Jeremy merely said that in a moment of anger. Truth be told, he was still waiting for Corinne's explanation, but all he heard was the dial tone.
In his anger, he gripped his phone so tightly that it nearly broke.
At that moment, a woman came over and asked, "Why the long face, Jeremy? Did something happen?"

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...
