However, Corinne quickly took a deep breath to compose herself. All her hard work would be in vain if she blew up.
She smiled at Phoebe nonchalantly. "I hope you don't mind, Miss Phoebe, but I'm going to stay here for a while since you're not willing to let me take Joey with me. Plus, the mountain air will be good for the baby in my womb."
Joey looked up happily at Corinne when he heard she was going to stay.
Phoebe looked annoyed at first, but an idea suddenly came to her mind.
She smiled cunningly. "Of course you're more than welcome to stay. I was feeling a bit lonely anyway, so I'll be glad to have someone to talk to."
"Great. That settles it, then."
Tommy frowned with worry. "Ma'am, I don't think that's a…"
Corinne knew what he was going to say, so she chimed in, "It's going to be fine. I'm only going to stay for a few days."
After that, she stood up and took Joey's hand. "Joey, can you please give me a tour of the villa?"
It seemed Joey had become scared of human touch as he immediately shrank back his hand, but Corinne managed to keep a tight grip on it. All of sudden, he felt a sense of security and courage flowing from Corinne's hand to him, and he did not want to let go of that feeling.
Joey nodded docilely to show he was willing to show her around.

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...
