Throughout the call, never did Corinne once ask about Jeremy nor did Tommy mention him.
'If Mister wanted me to know about something, he would've told me. I wouldn't need to ask other people about it. Since he doesn't want me to know what he's up to, there's no point in asking Tommy,' she thought.
When night came, Tommy visited Corinne to give a status report on the task she asked him to do. Since it would be inappropriate to receive him into the bedroom, Corinne asked him to follow her to Jeremy's study.
"Ma'am, I already went to the Riveras to ask for custody of Mister Joey," said Tommy respectfully.
Corinne was sitting casually on Jeremy's office chair with her cheek resting on her hand. "And what did they say?"
"Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice said you've mentioned Mister Joey's custody arrangement to them before. After careful consideration, they both think it's best for you and Mister Jeremy to take care of him."
Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked at Tommy's sides. "So where is he? Why didn't you bring him here?"
Corinne could not help but see herself in Joey. 'Poor kid. He's been mistreated again and again after Anya found no more use of him.'
"Even though Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice agreed to let you take Mister Joey away, Miss Phoebe insisted on keeping him by her side. She said that now that Miss Anya had been locked up, she can't lose her only grandson too. She even went as far as to threaten to commit suicide if they take Mister Joey away from her."
Corinne did not pity Phoebe. She only found the whole thing laughable. 'So I see she has changed from a good mother act to a good grandmother act now that Anya isn't there to play the 'good daughter' act. When was she when Anya was abusing Joey? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Both of them are as evil as they come.'

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...
