Corinne bent down to pick up Joey, who put his arms around her neck.
"We can chat about all sorts of things. Plus, this'll be a good practice before I give birth. You don't need to worry, Miss Phoebe. I'll never take him away without your permission."
"As if I believe you! Where am I going to find him if you secretly take him away? Come, Joey. How many times have I told you not to let strangers pick you up?" said Phoebe angrily.
She then walked over and tried to pick him up from Corinne's arm, but he clung to her tightly. This made Phoebe even angrier, so she started prying Joey off. Still, he did not let go. That was how much he did not want to be with Phoebe.
In the end, Phoebe gave one last pull with all her strength, and only then did she pry Joey away from Corinne's arms, causing her to stumble back.
"Watch out, Corinne!" cried Jason, who kept himself hidden from Phoebe all this while. He quickly strode over to steady her. "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?" he asked with concern.
"I'm okay," said Corinne with a shake of her head. She then moved away from Jason, but it was too late.
Phoebe was stunned to see Jason coming out of Corinne's room before a mocking smile appeared on her face.
"Well, fancy seeing you here, Jason. What are you doing in Corinne's room so early in the morning? Tsk, tsk! Don't you know she's a married woman?"
Jason smiled calmly and politely at Phoebe. "Aunt Phoebe, please don't get this the wrong way. I only came just now to ask Corinne to join me for breakfast."
Corinne smiled. "And is there a law that says two friends of the opposite sex cannot hang out in the room early in the morning? Plus, we have both of our clothes on, so what seems to be the problem?"
Phoebe looked at their tidy clothes and frowned, but she still kept her phone aimed at Corinne and Jason.
"In any case, I have video evidence of you two hanging out in a room alone. Let's see what the people online will say after I post the video online!"
Corinne chuckled softly. She was so bored with the whole thing.
"Miss Phoebe, it's obvious you haven't learned anything from your last lesson. Otherwise, you wouldn't use the same tactic of trying to crush me with public opinion."

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...
