Chapter 474
Corinne was not surprised at all that Lucas would believe Rosie’s words. Without batting an eye, Corinne made her stance clear as she said, “Mister Lucas, this is what happened. An hour ago, Miss Anya and Miss Rosie said they wanted to go shopping and asked me to help take care of the child. I repeatedly refused but to no avail. I had no choice but to watch Miss Anya’s child sleep the whole time. I did not touch him at all. As for how injuries on his body happened, I have no idea.”
Hearing what Corinne said, Anya sobbed even harder in Lucas’ arms. She blamed herself and said, ” Lucas! It’s my fault! It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have left Joey in the care of your secretary. I didn’t expect she’ll do this to my child.”
Rosie said furiously, “Lucas, don’t listen to Corinne! Joey came running in fear while crying as soon as we entered. If we came back any later, there’s no telling how Corinne will abuse Joey! I feel we should call the police straight away and detain her. Child abuse is a serious crime!”
Lucas glanced at Rosie and did not listen to her opinion. He looked at Corinne again with an unfathomable gaze. “How can you prove that you didn’t touch Joey?”
Carrying her child and being in her brother’s arms, Anya turned her face timidly and choked back a sob as she said weakly, “Corinne, why? Why did you do this to my child?”
Rosie questioned her as well, “Corinne, is it because Joey is Anya and Jeremy’s child that you felt jealous, so you can’t stand the sight of him and deliberately abused him to vent your anger?”
Jealous? Corinne sneered and ignored Rosie. She looked at Anya-who was sobbing-and said, “Usually, when a mother sees that her child is injured, her first response should be rushing the child to a hospital, then find out who’s the person who hurt her child after that! However, I see that you’re not worried about your child’s injuries at all. Instead, your focus is on slandering me!”
Anya’s eyes were shifty, and there was a hint of guilt on her face that was barely noticeable. “I’m not trying to slander anybody. I’m heartbroken to see Joey’s injuries! Lucas, hurry up and get the doctor!” She sobbed.
Rosie disliked Corinne, so she defended her best friend and said, “Anya is just in a panic. Of course, she cares about the child’s injuries very much. Lucas and I care about it very much too. We’ll take Joey to the hospital immediately! Don’t you try to create a distraction? Just admit it honestly and be prepared to be imprisoned!”

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...
