Joey, though in the car, spotted Tonny and Terry outside. He frowned and began to blame himself again. He wanted to go out to help Corinne because he felt that he should be the one to take responsibility.
As he reached for the door handle, both Bryan and Christine grabbed his hand.
"Joey, you can't go out!" reminded Bryan.
"Joey, did you forget what Mommy told us? Getting out will only cause more trouble for Mommy!" added Christine.
Joey was sad. "But..."
The trouble started because of him, and those people were causing trouble for Mommy because of him!
"No 'buts'; we just need to listen to Mommy!"
"Yeah! Bryan's right! We just have to listen to Mommy!"
Convinced by Bryan and Christine, Joey reluctantly withdrew his hand. He decided to stay in the car and observe for the time being.
Outside the car, Corinne spoke calmly to the overbearing Terry, "So, why did you go to all that trouble to corner me here?"
Terry assumed Corinne was mocking him by asking the obvious. He glared at her and answered, "What do you think? Your son attacked mine! My poor baby has been so traumatized these days that he can't even eat. Look at how thin he's become! I'll say it again: your son must get down on his knees and apologize to my son!"
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "And what if he doesn't?"
Terry grew impatient. He grinned evilly and said, "If he won't, you can kneel instead!"
Corinne chuckled. "How interesting! Firstly, I really can't tell that your son has lost weight! Also, is this how you educate your child at such a young age? Do you think he'll grow up to be anything other than a thug, just like you?"
Terry thought Corinne was getting scared, so he laughed. "Isn't this what you brought upon yourself? Let me tell you, I'm not a thug. I have my principles! I never lay a hand on women, and I did set a good example for my son! But you women hitting each other is just a perfectly fair game!"
Corinne looked at the man with disdain. Beyond disgust, there was not much else.
Terry lifted Tonny in his arms. "Scared now, huh? Well, it's not too late to tell your son to get out and apologize to mine!"
Corinne furrowed her brow on purpose. "Oh, I'm absolutely terrified! Trying to force my son to apologize for something he didn't do wrong? Fat chance!"
Terry gritted his teeth. "Fine! You asked for this! Get her! Cripple this woman, and show her what'll happen when she messes with my son."
Following his command, the robust women raised their fists and slowly closed in on Corinne.

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...
