Jeremy sounded upset, so Corinne went soft on him. "Hey! I was just kidding!"
"Little rascal, I promise that none of this will happen again. No one, and nothing, can separate us again," vowed Jeremy as he hugged Corinne tightly.
"I believe you, Mister," said Corinne with a nod.
…
"Everything is alright. Joey may go home now. Remember, keep his wounds away from water, and change the dressing on time," reported the nurse with Joey's report in her hands.
Corinne and Jeremy thanked the nurse and left the ward with Joey.
They then took Joey to Emily's ward to inform her that he had been discharged. They promised to visit her again after they had calmed the rest, especially Pamela and Greg.
The atmosphere in the Holdens' estate was a little heavy. As a precautionary measure, Pamela and Greg hired bodyguards to keep a close eye on their grandchildren.
Christine did not like being watched at all times, so she pouted and whined to Pamela, "Great-grandma, can you please ask these people to stop following me? They're making me uneasy, and it's no fun being watched all the time!"
Benjamin and Bryan nodded. All three of them were not used to being watched round the clock.
"Christine, sweetie, I'm doing this for your own good. You too saw how the bad guy took away your brother Joey! These kind people here will keep you safe," said Pamela while she stroked Christine's head lovingly.
Christine frowned. "That was outside the house. We're inside the house now! Besides, haven't Daddy and Mommy found Joey already? And they said the bad guys were captured too! We're safe now, Great-grandma!"
"That's right, Great-grandma. These people even followed me to the toilet! I almost forgot how to pee when they keep staring at me like that," complained Bryan.
Benjamin nodded anxiously.
The bodyguards had been following them since the previous night. Because of this, the three of them felt like prisoners in their own home.

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...
