Jeremy remained silent. Years ago, to save his life, Anya selflessly extracted the snake venom from her own body, forever sacrificing her ability to become a mother. This was a debt he would always owe to the girl, and he could not fulfill Anya's emotional needs. Therefore, when Lucas accused him in such a way, he had no words to respond.
Corinne raised an eyebrow and said, "Mister Lucas, if you truly care about your sister, it is more important to help her find her beloved son than to focus on competing with me for a man's heart here!"
Lucas glared at Jeremy, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the eloquent Corinne, filled with disgust and anger. It was all because of her! Anya was tormented back and forth by this little girl Corinne, to the point where she was on the verge of a breakdown. He wished he could strangle her!
At that moment, several household servants gasped for breath as they returned from somewhere within the estate to report.
"Mister Lucas, we've searched everywhere, but we still haven't found the child!"
Upon hearing this unfavorable outcome, Anya began to sob, "Where could Joey have gone? My Joey!"
Lucas snapped back to his senses, turning to his subordinates with a stern frown. "Have you searched all the rooms in the house?"
One of the servants stepped forward and answered, "Young Master, we have searched all the places we could, except for the two special rooms upstairs. We didn't dare enter without your permission."
When the two special rooms upstairs were mentioned, a complex look flickered in Lucas's eyes. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand. "I'll go and take a look at those two rooms upstairs. In the meantime, bring a few search dogs and comb through every corner of the house!"
"Yes, Mister Lucas!"
The servants received new orders and went down one after another to carry them out.
Lucas wearily pinched his brow and then turned around, speaking gently to Anya, "Anya, brother will go upstairs to take a look. Don't worry, we will find the 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...
