"I know it was wrong of me for not taking good care of Joey…but please don't give him away. I promise I'll be a better mother to him from now on!" Anya pleaded tearfully.
The sight of her was enough to give Lucas a headache. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Fine… Just look after him now while I go out to take a call."
He then fished out his vibrating phone and turned to leave the room, but before he could even take a step, Joey shakily grabbed Lucas' hand. "Uncle…don't go…" he said weakly.
Joey wanted to tell Lucas he was scared of being left alone with Anya, who would turn into a monster when no one was around, but he could not.
Lucas had no idea what Joey was thinking, so he simply stroked his cheek and said coaxingly, "Be a good boy, Joey. I promise I'll be back in a jiffy, okay? And in the meantime, your mommy will stay here with you."
"Uncle…don't go… I…scared," said Joey fearfully. He looked like he was about to cry.
Lucas immediately became suspicious of Anya when he saw how frightened Joey was at being left alone with her. 'Is he actually afraid of…Anya? When did he become so afraid of her? Did Anya lose her patience and blow up at him?'
His phone kept vibrating. It was an important work call, so he had no choice but to take it. After cooing gently at Joey, he quickly left the room.
Joey reached out his hand helplessly as he watched Lucas leave the room, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach him.
Once the door closed and the sound of Lucas' footsteps faded, Anya immediately slapped Joey's face. "D*mn you, you little brat! Why did you do that? Do you want everyone in the world to find out just how scared you are of me?"

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...
