The nanny heard Joey's cries from outside and rushed into his room to check on him.
"Miss Anya, what's going on? Did Mister Joey make you angry again? He's just a kid… He doesn't know any better. Won't you please forgive him?"
Anya was raging. "What are you doing back in here? Didn't I ask you to go outside? How dare a lowly servant like you tell me what to do!"
The nanny immediately hung her head low and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Miss Anya. I didn't mean to…"
In a fit of blind rage, Anya slapped her. "What didn't you mean to do? Barge in here? I put Joey in your care, and look at how he turned out now! The moment he sees me, he'll start crying as if I'm a monster. You must've taught him to do that."
Covering her cheek with her hand, the nanny tried to explain, "No, Miss Anya. I didn't teach Mister Joey to do that. You're a first-time mother, so it's normal to lose patience sometimes… I'm sure he'll stop being afraid of you if you just show him a little more patience…"
Anya gave her another backhand slap. "How dare you call me impatient! I don't need you to teach me how to be a good mother, you useless piece of sh*t!"
This time, the force of the impact was so great that it caused the nanny to fall to the floor, sobbing. Seeing the person who had been taking care of him getting hurt made Joey cry even louder.
At that moment, Lucas—who had just changed out of his suit and was on his way downstairs—saw Anya slap the nanny through the opened door.
"What are you doing?!" He walked in with a stern expression and saw the nanny and Joey crying. "Anya, what happened here?"
Anya started to panic at Lucas' sudden appearance. She quickly put on her damsel in distress act before throwing herself crying into Lucas' arms.

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...
