Tommy bowed. "Ma'am, you're too kind! Without Mister Jeremy, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's the least I can do!"
Corinne admired Tommy's abilities and character. She did not say more about the topic. Instead, she asked, "And where is he? Why isn't he here?"
"Mister Jeremy is on his way. He should be here in a little while."
Corinne smirked. "He's always like this. He said he'd go get us some food yesterday, but after he left, he never came back. Instead, he got his subordinates to deliver it."
Tommy chuckled. "Ma'am, you've misunderstood. Mister Jeremy didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you the whole story. Yesterday, our people caught Anya. He was concerned she might deny being the mastermind behind Mister Joey's kidnapping, so he personally supervised the police interrogation and confronted her. Mister Jeremy also took care of Sophia. She and Anya won't be causing any trouble for us soon."
'Anya's been caught, huh? Good. I'll never have to worry about her coming for Joey again!' thought Corinne.
Through the incident, Corinne could almost confirm that Anya was the one spreading rumors at Joey's kindergarten.
'This vile woman is truly twisted for not even sparing the child she once adopted!' thought Corinne.
As she walked back to the ward with Joey in her arms, Corinne muttered, "This is all Jeremy's fault for being so fatally handsome. Just look at this mess he's brought upon us! You better not follow in his footsteps!"
'Fatally handsome? Ma'am is as direct and sharp-tongued as ever,' thought Tommy, who nearly burst into laughter at Corinne's remark.
Not long after returning to the ward, a nurse came in to check on Joey. She changed the dressing on his wounds and drew some blood for testing. Before leaving, she told them to wait for the result. If everything checked out fine, Joey would be able to leave the hospital.
While waiting for the result, the door suddenly creaked open. Corinne glanced outside, thinking the nurse had come back with Joey's test result. However, it was actually Jeremy who came in.
Corinne's eyes dimmed. She then pouted and returned to her seat.

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...
