It was Joey.
Previously, she kept pestering Jeremy to accompany her in adopting a child from overseas. However, the child still did not have an official name. Lately, she was not interested in taking care of the child herself and has left it to the nanny to handle all day long. Mostly, she was too lazy to take care of the child!
This child used to have some value for her as a major excuse to cling to Jeremy and briefly hold his attention. But things are different now. Jeremy already knows that Corinne is carrying his child, so he won't care about this adopted child without a blood relationship.
Thus, this child has become a burden, with no utility or value left. Anya never truly loved this child, aside from considering it as a tool for her benefit. She never had any genuine affection for the child.
All the tenderness and maternal gestures she displayed toward the child in the past were only an act put on for Jeremy! When there was nobody around, she could not be bothered to pretend anymore!
At this moment, Anya is in a bad mood, and looking at this child who is no longer of any use to her only makes her angrier! When the child comes over wanting a hug, Anya, devoid of any love, impatiently pushes away Joey, who was still unsteady on his feet.
"Get away! Stay far away from me! You little brat, all you do is eat and cry all day long. Aren't you tired of being annoying?"
Joey fell to the ground, completely shocked and helpless, looking at his mother with a bewildered expression, then bursting into tears, feeling deeply wronged.
Anya felt annoyed and extremely bothered by the loud crying of the child. In frustration, she reached out and forcefully pinched and twisted the flesh on Joey's body.
"Crying, crying, crying! All you know is crying! I have so many people serving you, taking care of your food and drink every day. What else do you have to cry about? Let me tell you, if it weren't for my kind heart in adopting you, you would still be eating scraps in that impoverished orphanage. Would you be able to enjoy such good food now?"

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...
