The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne looked around the yard. ‘This will be my last time standing here.’
The only person she could not really let go was Joey.
Soon, night came. After dinner, Corinne took her shower and was about to read a bedtime story to Joey when her phone rang.
She picked up her phone and saw Jeremy’s name on the screen.
‘What’s up with him? Why is he calling me every day now?’ she wondered.
As much as she did not want to talk to him, Corinne forced herself to answer the phone as she did not want to make Jeremy
suspicious.
“Have you slept?” asked Jeremy softly. It sounded like he had already moved on from what happened last night.
“What do you think? Would I have answered your phone if I was sleeping?” asked Corinne monotonously.
“I asked because I was afraid I’d woken you up,” said Jeremy darkly.
“If you’re really afraid of waking me up, you wouldn’t have called at this hour!” said Corinne, hitting the nail on the head.
After a few seconds of silence, Jeremy said softly again, “I was busy, and this is the only hour I can call you. How was your day?
Did you eat properly?”
Corinne felt a little disgusted by his concern. She would rather not hear it, so she pressed the phone on Joey’s ear instead,
saying, “Your daddy misses you, Joey. Why don’t you talk to him for a while?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

“Dada!” shouted Joey happily.
Jeremy was speechless.
“Hello? Dada? Hello? Hello...” repeated Joey when he did not receive a reply from Jeremy.
Jeremy sighed. “Hello, Joey.”
Joey giggled happily. “Dada, come back. Joey misses Dada.”
“Soon, Joey, soon. You need to be a good boy while I’m not there, you hear?”

“Yes, Dada!”
“What is your mommy doing?”
Joey was stunned. Then he looked down sadly. “No Mama... No...”
He thought Jeremy was talking about Anya, but Joey did not want to see her as his mother since she would always scold and hit
him.
Jeremy rubbed the bridge of his nose. “What is your sissy doing?”
Joey looked at Corinne with shiny eyes. “Auntie Sissy lying next to Joey! She good. Joey likes Auntie Sissy!”
The call was not on speakerphone, so Corinne could only hear Joey’s end of the conversation.
She was a little tired holding up the phone for him, so she impatiently took back the phone and said, “Mister, is there anything
else? If not, I’m going to put Joey to bed now.”
“Thanks for doing this, little rascal. I know it’s hard to take care of a child unrelated to you while pregnant,” said Jeremy
apologetically.
Corinne scoffed. “If you really think that, you’d be here to take care of yourself now. All you know how to do is pay me lip
service!”
After that, she hung up the phone.
