The two maids assigned to look after Bryan and Christine stood there helplessly.
"Ma'am, Mister Bryan and Miss Christine were fighting over a toy. We couldn't stop them."
"They threw a tantrum when we tried to stop them."
Corinne pinched the bridge of her nose again. She had been so busy recently that she sort of neglected the two kids to the point where they had become even more bad-tempered.
"Enough is enough! Both of you stop!" roared Corinne.
The kids stood quietly as they felt their mother's burning rage.
Corinne pulled them closer, scolded them sternly, and forbade them to have any snacks for one month. Christine and Bryan's faces immediately fell when they heard that.
Nonetheless, Corinne stood firm on her decision. She took out the handwriting homework the kindergarten had given them and told them to do it. She would be back later to check on their progress.
Christine and Bryan were displeased with the punishment they received but did not dare to disobey her, so they did as they were told.
After she finished lecturing the two kids, Corinne came out of the room and looked for the maid who was holding Joey's potato chips for her.
The maid was looking for her, too. "Ma'am, Old Missus Holden is asking for you. She'd like to have a word with you."
'A word with me? Did Grandma find out something?' thought Corinne with concern.
After deliberating for a while, she asked the maid, "How about Joey? Have you found him?"
"Yes, Mister Joey is taking a nap in his own room. There's no need to worry about him. Please go and see Old Missus Holden now," replied the maid.

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...
