Before the servants could stop Phoebe, however, Lucas shouted, "Don't stop her! Let her do whatever she wants!"
The servants stopped when they heard that.
Lucas chuckled coldly. "I'd like to see if a woman like her, who's willing to do anything to achieve glory and wealth, would kill herself."
Seeing that no one was coming to stop her, Phoebe slowed down a little before bumping her head lightly against the pillar before she pretended to pass out.
Lucas gestured with his chin for Edmund to check up on her.
Edmund put his finger under Phoebe's nose for a few seconds before standing up and reporting, "Miss Phoebe is still breathing, so she's probably just fainted."
A hint of disgust flashed across Lucas' eyes. "Ugh. You two there, carry her back to her room. She has caused enough trouble for the day."
The servants quickly carried Phoebe away.
"Don't worry, she's not going to die that easily. Next time, just let her be if she uses the same tactic to threaten you all again. She'll come around by herself given enough time," said Lucas to the rest of the servants.
"Yes, Mister Lucas!" chorused the servants.
Thus, Jeremy—with Joey still in his arms—followed her back to their room.
…
Joey fell asleep not long after they got back into their room. It was the best sleep he ever had since he knew he was safe with Corinne.
Jeremy, who was tired out from catching the red-eye flight, soon fell asleep next to Joey too.
Corinne's eyes softened when she saw the two of them sleeping soundly on the bed. Even though she was still angry at Jeremy, she could not deny she still cared about him. Thus, she walked over and draped the blanket over him and Joey.

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...
