Corinne smiled at Phoebe coolly. "Miss Phoebe, why are you so worked up? I haven't even said anything."
Phoebe became even more irked at Corinne's nonchalant attitude. She hated how her words had no effect on her.
"You might be cocky now, Corinne, but mark my words—you're not going to last long with the Holdens either!" she said through gritted teeth. "Do you really think they'll like a country bumpkin like you? I'm willing to bet Jeremy will soon be sick of you. Then, he'll ask you to get as far as possible from him."
Corinne remained unfazed. "Thank you for your wise words, Miss Phoebe. But can we get to what I came to talk about now? I'm sure you've been told of my reason for coming here. Joey is of no use to you now, and you seem to have no interest in raising him. Why don't you let me take him away? That way, everyone gets a happy ending."
Phoebe widened her eyes in anger. "Dream on if you think I'm going to let you do that! He's my grandson, and Anya got him fair and square! What right do you have to take him away?"
"You're right. I don't have a right, but my husband does. He's also Joey's legal guardian. Miss Phoebe, why do you insist on keeping Joey by your side when he is of no more use to you? Not to mention, you don't love him at all."
Phoebe scoffed. "It's true that the child is of no more use to us, but don't think I don't know what you're doing! You just wanted to prove how kind you are to the Holdens by bringing the child back. Well, that's not going to happen, and there's nothing you evil b*tch can do about it."
"Miss Phoebe! Please watch your words when speaking to Miss Corinne," warned Tommy.
Phoebe crossed her arms haughtily. Since she and Corinne disliked each other, she felt there was no need to put up an act in front of the Holdens anymore.
"Why should I? She's nothing but a country bumpkin who just happened to get lucky. So no, I won't watch my words when speaking to her!"
"Why you…" Tommy frowned. He could not stand Phoebe's overbearing attitude. He was about to say something more when Corinne raised her hand to stop him.
Corinne paid no mind to Phoebe's words. Her priority then was to get Joey out of there.

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...
