Francine nearly hit her nose on the door. She quickly stepped back and knocked on the door, shouting, "Hey, Corinne! I didn't mean what I said just now. I just don't want to see you arguing with Jeremy…"
No response came from inside the room.
"As a matter of fact, I don't ever want Jeremy to replace you with someone else anymore. I mean it! So please don't be angry. You can take what I said just now as me spouting nonsense!"
Still, no response came from inside the room.
'How dare she still ignore me when I've apologized?' thought Francine angrily.
"Hey, Corinne! You're not really angry, are you? I don't remember you being this touchy in the past. Fine, be angry all you want, but take that kid back with you! I don't want to babysit him anymore!"
Francine received no response no matter what she said.
'This can't be good,' she thought with a frown. 'Something serious must've happened to cause her to be like this.'
The Corinne Francine knew would immediately retort should she do anything to upset her.
Francine gave up knocking on the door after a while. She then went downstairs to get a drink of water.
She was not worried about Joey since she had instructed a maid to care for the sleeping child. As long as he did not wake up, she had all the time in the world to think about why Corinne was acting so weird.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion at the main entrance, which interrupted her thoughts. She looked over and saw Jeremy rushing in and changing his shoes.
She immediately put down her glass of water and walked over. "Jeremy, you're back!"
"Is Corinne back yet?" he asked with a frown.
"Please look after him a while longer," he said without looking back.
Francine rolled her eyes and muttered, "They're obviously not going to win any parents-of-the-year award… How can they expect me, a single woman with no child of her own, to know how to take care of a toddler?"
…
Jeremy rushed upstairs and turned the doorknob, but the door would not open.
'That little rascal locked me out again? How dare she lock the door when she was the one who left without waiting for me?'
He was really confused. After all, they were fine when they left the house.
Frowning, he knocked on the door a few times and waited, but the door remained shut tightly.

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...
