Jeremy was still hugging Corinne, so he could not hold Joey. Instead, he said coldly to Anya, "Why don't you bring Joey to the guest room? It's not good for him to be out and about when he has a fever."
Anya was angered by Jeremy choosing Corinne over Joey. "Jeremy, aren't you going to give Joey a hug? He's been crying for you nonstop. Oh, I get it now. You're worried about Corinne getting jealous, aren't you?"
She then turned to Corinne and pleaded pitifully, "Corinne, won't you let Joey have some time with his father? He really needs him right now…"
Jeremy was about to say something, but Corinne beat him to it. "Hey, I'm not the one keeping him from Joey. He's a grown man. He can choose who he wants to spend time with, and it just so happens he chose me."
She leaned lazily against Jeremy and crossed her legs, treating him like a human-shaped armchair. "You surprised me today, Miss Anya. I've always thought you're a fragile woman, but it took you no time to run over her with Joey in your arms. Why, it hasn't even been a hot minute after Jeremy hung up on you."
Anya found it harder to hide the hatred she had for Corinne. She forced herself to squeeze out a smile. "Well, one learns how to become stronger after one becomes a mother. Which is something you wouldn't know, Corinne. Since you're not a mother yourself."
'Oh, please! As if she deserves to be called a mother!' thought Corinne. She broke out in a mocking smile as she stood up from Jeremy's lap. "Oh, Miss Anya. Your words have so moved me. How can I keep little Joey away from his father? Here, let his father carry him."
She then turned to look at Jeremy with her eyebrow raised. "Mister, what are you still waiting there for? Your kid is crying for you!"
Instead of moving, Jeremy simply stared at Corinne with narrowed eyes.

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...
