Pamela's heart ached as she looked at Corinne. 'She looks healthy, but why isn't she as energetic as before?'
Corinne turned to leave after she said what she had come to say. Her goal was to make Pamela feel guilty so that the old lady would let her guard down. She vowed to escape from the Holdens, who changed her life's trajectory, no matter what tomorrow.
After coming out of Pamela's room, Corinne saw Francine and Joey playing in the yard with Chester watching from the side. After thinking about it, she went out to join them.
Joey immediately toddled over to Corinne when he saw her walking toward them. "Auntie Sissy…"
Francine followed after him, shouting playfully, "You little ungrateful brat! I spent the whole day playing with you, yet you dumped me the moment you saw your Auntie Sissy?"
Joey giggled at Francine while keeping his chubby arms wrapped around Corinne's legs. It was obvious who he preferred.
Corinne ruffled his hair and said, "Go play with Aunt Francine. I'll be watching you from over here."
Joey nodded obediently before pulling Francine to play at another side. Francine led him to the swing. She sat down and placed him on her lap. Together, they swung slowly.
Corinne was relieved to see Francine being so patient with Joey. That way, even if she left the next day, Joey would still have Francine to take care of him.
Chester walked over to greet her. "Hey, Corinne."
Corinne turned to smile politely at him. "You're here early."
"I have no class on Saturday, so I thought I'd come early to tutor Francine."
"If you're not here anymore?" repeated Chester in shock.
Corinne did not plan to reveal anything more than that, so it was a good thing Francine suddenly called out to him, "Hey, Chester! Can you come over here to push us?"
Chester was still waiting for Corinne to give him an explanation, but she just gestured with her chin. "Go. She's calling you."
Knowing Corinne was not going to say anything more, Chester sighed and went over to Francine.
Corinne was not at all worried Chester would say anything to Francine because she knew he was a guy who knew when to keep things to himself. The reason she said what she said to him was because she knew Francine would only listen to him.
If Chester told Francine to take good care of Joey, she would take that as her life mission.

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...
