Corinne waved her hand. "You don't have to say anything; my mind is made up. Have the car wait for me at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. And don't tell Grandma Pamela anything about this—I don't want her to worry."
As reluctant as Tommy was about the plan, he did not try to convince her otherwise. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes, Ma'am."
"That'll be all for now. You may leave now."
"Yes, Ma'am."
After Tommy left, Corinne stayed seated on the chair. 'Ugh, this is so tiring,' she thought while rubbing her temples. She would have preferred to ask Aaron to help with the arrangement, but he had not returned from attending a seminar abroad.
Xante, too, was not in the city, and Corinne did not want to ask her to come back for such a trivial matter. Thus, that left only Tommy to handle the arrangement. It was just as well as it would make it look more legit if a staff member from the Holden family helped Corinne request an audience with Phoebe.
After all, out of the two of them, only Jeremy was Joey's legal guardian.
'I hope Phoebe won't treat Joey too harshly…' thought Corinne while rubbing her pregnant belly as though it would make the baby grow faster. Perhaps it was her maternal instincts kicking in as she would be a mother, but she could not bear to see any kid suffering.
After a while, Corinne walked out of the study, only to bump into Francine and Chester.
Chester had just finished tutoring Francine and was about to leave. Whenever Chester was around, Francine would tamp down her overbearing attitude in favor of a more demure, ladylike attitude.
Chester's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Corinne. "Hey, Corinne."

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...
