Corinne led Joey out of the room.
Edmund was leaning against the wall and scrolling through his phone. As soon as he heard the door opening, he straightened himself respectfully. However, his dutiful expression changed to confusion when he saw Corinne with Joey.
'What's going on? I've been standing guard here the whole time, so how did Miss Anya's kid go in without me noticing?' he wondered.
"Miss Corinne, how did Joey get into your room?"
"I'm not sure either. I just happened to see him come running in from the balcony."
'Oh, so that's what happened! I'm so glad it wasn't my mistake,' thought Edmund.
"Forgive me, Miss Corinne," he said respectfully. "I shouldn't have let Joey bother you. You can leave him with me and head down to have your dinner."
Corinne nodded and pulled Joey toward Edmund. However, the kid just grabbed her hand harder as if not wanting to let go.
Joey had a particularly peaceful rest, and it had been such a long time since he had slept so soundly with none of the frequent nightmares plaguing him. He especially liked how Corinne sang and patted him to sleep as if letting him know he was in a safe space.
'This lady is a good guy…not the bad guy Mommy says she is! I want to be with her always…' thought Joey.
Edmund was worried Joey would annoy Corinne, so he quickly said, "Come here, Mister Joey. I'll bring you to your mother."
This only made him grab Corinne's hand even tighter.
Corinne patted his head and said softly, "Do you remember what I told you just now?"

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...
