Rather than comfort the crying girl, Matt tossed her hairpin to the floor and started to laugh at her. She cried even louder as a result. Joey, who was busy reading a storybook, could not bear to see the sight of it any longer. He went up to Matt, scolded him, and urged him to return the hairpin to the girl.
Matt ignored Joey's plea and made mocking faces at him. Joey warned him that he would call the teacher if he did not return the hairpin.
"I dare you!" Matt retorted. "I'll smash your head if you call the teacher!" Matt then grabbed Joey's collar before threatening him with a clenched fist.
Joey was not pleased, and it was clear that he was trying his best to endure what was happening. He took a deep breath and yelled, "Teacher!"
Matt then decided to punch Joey in the face to stop Joey from yelling. However, Joey was nimble enough to dodge the attack. He then pushed Matt away, and Matt lost his balance as he hit the table leg. Undeterred, Matt stood up and attempted to punch Joey again.
Joey avoided the assault and refused to retaliate. In a fit of anger, Matt attempted several punches and kicks but failed to land a single hit on Joey. Eventually, he fell awkwardly to the ground after missing a punch.
Matt, in his frustration, vented his anger on the little girl. He pulled her pigtails forcefully and caused her to cry out in pain. Unable to bear the bullying any longer, Joey rushed over to intervene. However, Matt took the chance to swing his fist at Joey but missed yet again. Infuriated, he began to taunt Joey, "You little b*stard! You're an unwanted child! The whole kindergarten knows! B*stard! Hahahah!"
Before Corinne could respond, Matt's father interjected, "The video clearly shows that your son's fist struck my son's face first! Doesn't that make it clear he's the instigator? Didn't your son make the first move?"
His wife naturally supported him, though with less confidence compared to before. "That's right! Your son who hit my son first!"
Corinne could not help but laugh. "Well, aren't you two the perfect match? Like you said earlier, the apple never falls far from the tree! Your son assaulted his female classmate, yet you conveniently turned a blind eye to his misbehavior!"

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...
