The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 820

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?"

Corinne pulled out a chair, sat down, and decided to play her phone while waiting for them.

However, it had not even been a hot minute before someone shrilly spoke, "What are you doing here? Who says you can sit here?"

Corinne looked up and saw Phoebe, dressed very luxuriously, looking down her nose at her. The other woman had just come out from the back kitchen and she immediately took a dislike to Corinne, who she thought was Sunny's tutor, when she saw her sitting down at the table.

'How dare a mere tutor sit down at the table with us?' she thought.

Corinne raised her eyebrow. "What's the matter, Miss Phoebe? Can't I sit here?"

"You can't seriously think you have the right to sit here. Why, you're just a lowly tutor! No no, you're not allowed to sit at the same table as us. You must've forgotten your place. Get up now! The food on this table is for our special guest…and not for the likes of you!"
