Lucas was at a loss for words. He could not make sense of the logic behind all this, but to him, of Corinne’s previous actions lacked logic as well. For example, her sudden appearance at the Riveras‘ job interview, or her presence at his grandfather’s birthday banquet without. any reason. Moreover, both Anya and the maid witnessed Corinne’s actions firsthand. Could it be fake?
“I know why Corinne made such an effort to save Joey, Lucas,” interjected Anya.
As everyone turned to look, they saw Anya, with red eyes, walking in from outside.
She planned to accompany Joey to the hospital with the medical staff, but because the child had an extreme reaction as soon as he saw her, the medical staff advised her to stay behind, and she had to come back.
Lucas frowned when he saw her returning alone and asked, “Why didn’t you go to the hospital? Where’s Joey?”
Anya walked to her brother’s side, wiped away her tears, and said, “Edmund is with Joey at the hospital, so I feel relieved. We can go to the hospital later to see Joey together. Now, I want to see the mastermind who hurt Joey brought to justice. Otherwise, as a mother, I’ll feel too guilty and won’t be able to face my child…”
She choked up again as she spoke, evoking sympathy from those present.
After being advised against going in the ambulance, Anya calmed down a lot. She thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
With Joey already taken away by the ambulance and temporarily unable to reveal anything detrimental, this was the time to firmly establish Corinne’s intentional homicide charge. They would deal with the child at the hospital later.
Children were easier to handle; there were ways to prevent them from talking nonsense.

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...
