Corinne looked around the yard. 'This will be my last time standing here.'
The only person she could not really let go was Joey.
Soon, night came. After dinner, Corinne took her shower and was about to read a bedtime story to Joey when her phone rang. She picked up her phone and saw Jeremy's name on the screen.
'What's up with him? Why is he calling me every day now?' she wondered.
As much as she did not want to talk to him, Corinne forced herself to answer the phone as she did not want to make Jeremy suspicious.
"Have you slept?" asked Jeremy softly. It sounded like he had already moved on from what happened last night.
"What do you think? Would I have answered your phone if I was sleeping?" asked Corinne monotonously.
"I asked because I was afraid I'd woken you up," said Jeremy darkly.
"If you're really afraid of waking me up, you wouldn't have called at this hour!" said Corinne, hitting the nail on the head.
After a few seconds of silence, Jeremy said softly again, "I was busy, and this is the only hour I can call you. How was your day? Did you eat properly?"
Corinne felt a little disgusted by his concern. She would rather not hear it, so she pressed the phone on Joey's ear instead, saying, "Your daddy misses you, Joey. Why don't you talk to him for a while?"
"Dada!" shouted Joey happily.
Jeremy was speechless.
"Hello? Dada? Hello? Hello…" repeated Joey when he did not receive a reply from Jeremy.
Joey looked at Corinne with shiny eyes. "Auntie Sissy lying next to Joey! She good. Joey likes Auntie Sissy!"
The call was not on speakerphone, so Corinne could only hear Joey's end of the conversation.
She was a little tired holding up the phone for him, so she impatiently took back the phone and said, "Mister, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to put Joey to bed now."
"Thanks for doing this, little rascal. I know it's hard to take care of a child unrelated to you while pregnant," said Jeremy apologetically.
Corinne scoffed. "If you really think that, you'd be here to take care of yourself now. All you know how to do is pay me lip service!"
After that, she hung up the phone.

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...
