Anya fell to her knees with a thud, holding her lifeless child, unable to contain her sobs.
"Joey, my Joey, wake up! Open your eyes and look at Mommy! Mommy is sorry, Mommy came too late! Joey, sob, sob!"
As a pregnant expectant mother, Corinne could not help but feel a pang in her heart witnessing the separation of mother and child. At the same time, she remained cautious, raising her eyes to observe her surroundings, wary of whether there were others in the miscellaneous room.
Anya's screams quickly drew the attention of many people.
"Anya, what happened?"
Lucas hurriedly ran in and his face turned solemn upon seeing the scene.
Anya continued to sob while holding the child, on the verge of collapse as if her breath was about to give out. "Brother! Joey, he has stopped breathing, sob, sob!"
Lucas quickly squatted down and reached out to feel the child's breath, but there was no sign of life. His hand trembled slightly, he closed his eyes in grief and took a deep breath.
Jeremy entered afterward and his pupils contracted upon seeing the scene. "What happened?"
Hearing the man's voice, Anya raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Jeremy, our Joey, he was murdered!"
Jeremy's brows furrowed, he froze for a moment, then he kneeled down and gently touched the child's small hand. It was still warm, but the child already lost his breath.
Although he only adopted this child with Anya not long ago, despite having no blood relation, he felt deep sorrow and regret.
A very obedient child, not even two years old yet.

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...
