The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1039
Joey fell backward from the force of impact and immediately cried.
"You mutt! How dare you spy on me?!" roared Phoebe.
"I… I…not spying on you," whimpered Joey.
He really was not spying on her. He wanted to go out to the living room but was not sure whether it was safe for him to do so. He thought he would observe the situation outside first.
Phoebe, who already thought of Joey as a nuisance, became even more irritated at him due to the anxiety and anger brought on by Anya's arrest. Thus, she decided to use him as a punching bag.
She kicked him again. "This is all your fault! Nothing ever went right for Anya after she adopted you. We should've thrown you away the first chance we got!"
Joey immediately curled up in pain.
Almost every day, he would receive some kind of beating. Whenever Anya was upset, she would take it out on him. However, she would make sure to hit him on the parts of his body that would not be easily noticed should a bruise form. She was worried Lucas would find out what she had been doing to Joey.
With Lucas not around, Anya was more brazen in her beatings.
Joey actually felt relieved when he saw Anya going out because that meant he would be spared from getting beaten up today. Alas, that was not the case.
'Why is Grandma hitting me too? She's so scary, just like Mommy… I want to leave this place… I want to go back to my own country. I'd rather starve in the orphanage than stay with these scary people…'

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...
