The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1743

Corinne picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was a call from the kindergarten principal. Concerned, she answered promptly, "Hello. Is something the matter?"

The principal's voice sounded rather anxious. "Could you please come to the kindergarten right now, ma'am? Joey beat up another boy, and their parents insist on meeting you!"

"What?!" Corinne stood up abruptly. It was hard for her to believe that the well-behaved Joey would resort to violence. After a moment, she composed herself and said, "I'll be there right away!"

After ending the call, Corinne left hastily without explaining anything to Jason.

"Where are you going, Corinne? Did something happen?" Jason got up to follow her after sensing that something was amiss. However, the wait staff stopped him and asked him to foot the bill. By the time he left, Corinne was nowhere to be seen.

Corinne drove to the kindergarten within 15 minutes. She was incredibly worried about Joey as he had always been an obedient, mature, sensible, and friendly kid. The notion that he would hit someone without rhyme or reason was simply perplexing.

She might have believed it if such a thing happened to Bryan, so she suspected that Joey might have retaliated after being bullied. She rushed to Joey's classroom, only to be informed that Joey was at the principal's office.

The child's father retorted, "Your apology won't change the fact that my son was beaten! I can't even bear to hit my son! Can you imagine how I felt when I found out that someone else hit him? You won't hear the end of me unless the parents of that boy apologize to my son!"

The mother was visibly distraught. "Yes! No one in our family has ever laid a finger on him until now, and he's always been a very obedient child! How could you claim to say that Joey is a well-behaved child? Why would a well-behaved child bully someone else? It's preposterous for you to defend him, and it is grossly negligent for you to appoint a child with violent tendencies to be in charge!"

The principal could only continue to apologize in embarrassment. Just when he was at a loss as to what else he could do to placate them, he spotted Corinne at the door. "Ma'am! You're finally here! Please tell Joey to apologize to Matt. Matt is bleeding, and Matt's parents are very upset now."
