The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 813
Edmund looked at Anya’s retreating figure in confusion. ‘What’s the matter with Miss Anya today? Where did the usual soft,
caring, and kind girl go?’
Anya was beyond furious. Not only did Corinne steal the man she loved but also her brother who had always seen her as the
apple of his eye! She could not, for the life of her, figure out why Lucas would respect Corinne so much.
‘I thought Lucas would always take my side since he hates Corinne so much...’
Joey had just woken up and the nanny was feeding him some oatmeal when Anya reached his room. He immediately hid in the
nanny’s arms when he saw Anya come in.
Anya was already in a bad mood, but seeing the trembling Joey in the nanny’s arm worsened it. ‘Why, that brat! What’s the use
of keeping him now?’
She walked over and extended her hand to the nanny. “Give that bowl to me. I’ll feed him. You can leave the room now.”
The nanny hesitated before placing the bowl in Anya’s hand. She then plucked Joey from her arms and put him in the crib before
she walked out of the room.
Joey watched anxiously as the nanny left the room. He reached out his chubby hands to her, but it was useless. Only he and
Anya were in the room afterward.
Anya smiled sweetly at Joey. “Come, Joey. Your mom will feed you now.”
Looking at Anya, Joey started to tremble out of fear she would hit him again. However, the happy memories of when Anya first
brought him back from the orphanage flashed through. his mind when he saw how lovingly Anya smiled at him.
He blinked and decided to let his guard down, allowing Anya to get close to him again.
Anya shoved a big spoonful of oatmeal into Joey’s mouth. “Here you go. Eat more! Eat!”
Joey nearly choked when the oatmeal suddenly filled his mouth. It was just too much. Moreover, the oatmeal was still piping hot,
so he immediately spat out everything.
Anya’s mood soured. “Hey, don’t spit out your food! That’s so wasteful of you. You should eat whatever is given to you!”

She tried to shove another spoonful of oatmeal into Joey’s mouth, but not wanting to be burned again, he refused to open his
mouth.
Seeing this, Anya grabbed Joey’s cheeks to force open his mouth, and the harder Joey resisted her effort, the harder Anya
would squeeze his face. In the end, out of frustration, she poured the whole bowl of oatmeal into his throat.
Joey started crying out of fright and through his struggle, he accidentally knocked over the bowl. After that, he started coughing
and puking.
Seeing the bowl break sent Anya into a flying rage. “Is that all you know how to do? Cry? I’m your mother, so why do you always
cry when you see me?! Don’t you know that you’ll still be suffering in the orphanage if I didn’t bring you home? You useless child!
You should be
thanking me instead of crying your head off!”
Joey’s lips had become swollen by then. After puking out the oatmeal, he burst into a louder.
sob, so loud that his cries could be heard from a few doors away.
