The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne was at a loss for what to do with Joey. On one hand, she did not want to traumatize him further with abandonment issues, but on the other, she did not want to saddle herself with him.

In the end, she decided it was more important to get him to sleep. Thus, she said, “There, there. I’m not going anywhere. Go to sleep, and we can have breakfast together tomorrow morning.”

“O…kay…” said Joey before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The next morning, Corinne brought Joey down for breakfast after they had both washed up.

Even though both Pamela and Greg were very fond of Joey, the little boy still felt scared in the new environment. Thus, he clung to Corinne like his life depended on it.

After breakfast, Corinne needed to discuss something with Xante and Aaron at the company, so she gave Joey some pep talk before handing him over to Francine to look after.

However, the moment she stepped out of the house, she saw Tommy and a line of bodyguards blocking her way.

“Good morning, Ma’am,” Tommy greeted her respectfully.

“Why are you here? Don’t you need to be at work?” she asked with a confused frown.
