The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 814
The nanny heard Joey’s cries from outside and rushed into his room to check on him.
“Miss Anya, what’s going on? Did Mister Joey make you angry again? He’s just a kid... He doesn’t know any better. Won’t you
please forgive him?”
Anya was raging. “What are you doing back in here? Didn’t I ask you to go outside? How dare a lowly servant like you tell me
what to do!”
The nanny immediately hung her head low and said respectfully, “I’m sorry, Miss Anya. I didn’t mean to...”
In a fit of blind rage, Anya slapped her. “What didn’t you mean to do? Barge in here? I put Joey in your care, and look at how he
turned out now! The moment he sees me, he’ll start crying as if I’m a monster. You must’ve taught him to do that.”
Covering her cheek with her hand, the nanny tried to explain, “No, Miss Anya. I didn’t teach Mister Joey to do that. You’re a first-
time mother, so it’s normal to lose patience sometimes... I’m sure he’ll stop being afraid of you if you just show him a little more
patience...”
Anya gave her another backhand slap. “How dare you call me impatient! I don’t need you to teach me how to be a good mother,
you useless piece of sh*t!”
This time, the force of the impact was so great that it caused the nanny to fall to the floor, sobbing. Seeing the person who had
been taking care of him getting hurt made Joey cry even louder.
At that moment, Lucas-who had just changed out of his suit and was on his way downstairs- saw Anya slap the nanny through
the opened door.
“What are you doing?!” He walked in with a stern expression and saw the nanny and Joey crying. “Anya, what happened here?”
Anya started to panic at Lucas’ sudden appearance. She quickly put on her damsel in distress act before throwing herself crying
into Lucas’ arms.
“You came just in time, Lucas. This nanny is no good. She was feeding Joey, but she didn’t blow on the oatmeal before giving it
to Joey. Look at how red his lips look! I told her to make sure the oatmeal is warm before giving it to Joey, and she actually talked
back to me...so I hit her in a fit of rage. I mean, this is Joey’s safety we’re talking about after all.”

Lucas looked down at the crying Anya emotionlessly and did not hug her back. Instead, he looked at Joey’s swollen mouth.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked the nanny, “Is what she said true?”
Anya’s eyes started to falter. ‘Why would Lucas ask the nanny to confirm what she said? He always believed me unconditionally
in the past! What happened to him to make him change so much?’
The nanny stood up fearfully and was about to explain herself when Anya turned around and threw her a threatening look. This
immediately struck fear into her heart, and after thinking of all the times Lucas had sided with Anya, she knew there was a high
chance Lucas would not believe her words.
Not wanting to cross Anya further, she finally lied, “Mister Lucas, I didn’t mean to...”
Lucas frowned. “You should pack up your things and leave if you don’t have the patience to care for a child!”
The nanny nodded helplessly. She took one last look at the child she had bonded over with before leaving the room quietly.
Anya heaved a sigh of relief. She then snuggled against Lucas and said, “That nanny has gone overboard this time! Joey
could’ve ended up even more hurt if I didn’t stop her in time.”
Lucas put both of his hands on Anya’s shoulders and pushed her away. “You look after Joey by yourself if you think you can do a
better job than the nanny. Joey is your kid, so it’ll be better if you, as his mother, take care of him.”
Anya was stunned. For some reason, she had the sinking feeling that there was an impenetrable wall between her and Lucas,
causing them to be not as close as before.
“Okay, Lucas. I’ll try to take care of Joey as best as I can from now on.”
“Good.”
