He did not want to answer this phone call.
However, if he did not answer, it would be as if he was hiding something from the little girl. Just when he just brought the little girl back, Jeremy did not want any misunderstandings to make her angry. If he couldn't see her tomorrow and she ran away again, it would be troublesome.
So, the man directly answered the call on speakerphone.
From the other end of the phone, Anya's voice trembled with a crying tone, sounding flustered and panicked. "Jeremy, where are you?"
"At home."
"Jeremy, do you have time to come over? I need you."
"Not convenient."
Anya heard the man's resolute refusal but did not give up. She pleaded while crying, "Jeremy, I know it's not good to disturb you like this all the time, but now Joey is missing! Wuwuwu! I searched everywhere I could, but I can't find him anywhere. I don't know what to do now! Jeremy, do you think something happened to Joey?"
Upon hearing this, Jeremy's brow furrowed. The child was missing?
Beside him, Corinne finished half a bowl of noodles, put down her chopsticks, and casually interjected, "Go and take a look. After all, that child was adopted by you and Miss Anya together. Mister, you also have a share of the guardianship responsibility."
Jeremy did not respond to Anya's tearful cries over the phone. He simply hung up and gazed deeply into Corinne's eyes. "Little girl, you have to believe that child."

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...
