'Ugh! He's so annoying,' thought Corinne.
She threw her phone aside, laid down beside Joey, and sang him a lullaby to lull Joey to sleep and also to calm herself.
…
The next morning, they had breakfast earlier than usual since Pamela woke up before dawn to supervise the kitchen staff in breakfast preparation.
After breakfast, Pamela, Corinne, Francine, and Joey got ready to go to Central Park for a stroll and to feed the pigeons. The bodyguards were about to stop them, but Pamela simply glared at them until they backed down. Later, the bodyguards reported the situation to their supervisor.
With Pamela in charge, the group was able to drive out of the mansion without a hitch.
In the car, Pamela patted Corinne's hand gently. "Corinne, I've asked the servants to bring along some sandwiches and other food. You and Joey can eat in the car if you're hungry later."
Corinne smiled. "Thanks, Grandma. You didn't need to do that since we could just eat in the restaurant."
Pamela shook her head. "No, that simply won't do! You're pregnant, so it's best not to eat outside food. Who knows whether the ingredients they use are fresh or not? Also, most of their food is just hyped up by influencers, so it's best to eat food from home."
Francine, who was carrying Joey in her lap, laughed out loud. "Hahaha! Grandma, I didn't know you knew what hype up and influencers mean."
Pamela scoffed. "Of course I know! Even a boomer like me knows how to use the Internet."
Corinne laughed too, but her laugh sounded hollow.
Corinne asked for a dozen bread rolls and was about to pay with her digital wallet when someone suddenly snatched her phone away and ran off.
The thief cut through the ground when a flock of pigeons was milling about, causing them to fly up into the air, and disturbing the people around them.
"Thief! Thief! That thief has stolen my phone!" shouted Corinne in a panic.
The bodyguards immediately rushed over to her. "Ma'am. Are you alright?"
"Quick! Get me my phone back!" she ordered anxiously. "That phone has private information about Jeremy. You must get it back!"

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...
