Not knowing what else there was to say, Emily gazed at Melinda with gratitude, admiring her positivity and understanding.
…
Outside the ward, Corinne and Jeremy overheard Emily and Melinda's conversation. They looked at each other silently, deeply impressed by Melinda's moral standing.
'Mom is lucky to have a friend like Missus Addison. She's such an understanding woman,' thought Corinne.
Suddenly, Corinne's phone buzzed in her pocket. She took out her phone and saw it was a call from Pamela.
She showed the phone to Jeremy, who took a quick glance and said, "Go ahead, answer it."
'Grandma must be wondering why we're not home yet at this hour,' thought Corinne as she picked up the phone.
Before she could tell Pamela that they would not be home that night, Pamela said anxiously, "Corinne, where are you and Jeremy? Come back, now! Something terrible has happened!"
Corinne exchanged glances with Jeremy before asking, "What's happened, Grandma?"
"Joey… Joey was abducted! A stranger took him away! I've sent our men to go after them, but we haven't received any updates. Greg and I… We don't know what to do…so come back quick! Hurry!" replied Pamela. She sounded like she was hyperventilating.
'Joey was abducted? How could this have happened?'
Corinne stood up and dashed to the elevator. Her maternal instinct was triggered the moment she heard about the abduction.
"Jeremy, Corinne! You've just arrived, too? Have you found Joey?"
Corinne dashed into the house without answering. Pamela and Greg were sitting agitatedly in the living room, waiting for the latest updates.
Benjamin, Bryan, and Christine were in the living room as well. They were guarded by five maids and five servants to keep them from wandering off.
"Grandma! Where's Joey? Any news?" Corinne was so worried that her eyes had become bloodshot.
Pamela wiped her tears sadly and said, "I'm sorry, Corinne. It's all my fault for not looking after him well… Our men came back, and they failed to get him back. The stranger grabbed Joey and got in a plateless minivan at the junction. The minivan drove into a small street and vanished."
Corinne, flabbergasted by the news, fainted in Jeremy's arms.

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...
