"Mommy's not feeling so well, and she asked for you to see her upstairs," answered Anya.
Maxwell frowned. "She should ask for the doctor instead of me. It's not like I know how to cure whatever she has."
Anya was stunned. Maxwell sounded just like Jeremy. 'Is that how men treat the women they don't love anymore?'
Ever since she married into this family, Phoebe had been doing whatever she could to please Maxwell, Cedric, and Beatrice, but she did not get the love and respect she hoped for. It was only because of Anya and Sunny that she could keep her position as Maxwell's wife.
'Sometimes I wonder how a man's brain works. I mean, why is Daddy still pining for his ex-wife and daughter? He should be spending more time with Mommy instead. And that Jeremy…he'd rather marry that scheming country bumpkin instead of me!'
Feeling sad for her mother, Anya decided to fight for her sake. "Daddy, maybe you should at least check on Mommy. I heard Grandpa had invited a guest over today, and I'm worried that he'd think Mommy's a party pooper if she says she wants to go to the hospital today."
Maxwell pinched the bridge of his nose. "Go back to your mother first. I'll go check on her a bit later."
"It's not that I don't want to accompany her, but I need to take care of Joey too! Daddy, please hurry up to her room."
Maxwell sighed and got up from the bench.

Sunny brought Corinne back to his room because he was afraid he would be scolded if anyone caught him being rude to Corinne.
Felix, who was doing Sunny's math homework, was stunned to see Corinne in the room.
"Felix, get out now," Sunny ordered.
"But I haven't finished doing your homework yet…"
"Leave it, and get out now!"

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...
