The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1819

After all the kids had bathed and fallen asleep, Corinne wearily leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone.

She had received a message from Melinda that evening that updated her about Emily's new hospital details and ward number.

Oddly enough, the messages she sent to Jeremy earlier in the day remained unanswered.

'Is he pulling the disappearing act again?' wondered Corinne with a sigh. She genuinely found this game of silence more draining than entertaining.

The busy day also made her feel very tired, so she decided to lie down and get ready to sleep. After all, she still had the task of withdrawing all three kids from the kindergarten tomorrow morning. Ever since Joey's incident, Corinne decided not to send the kids to that kindergarten anymore.

Her kids had become targets in someone's malicious game of spreading rumors. People were circulating unpleasant speculations about Joey's biological parents, and it would only get worse from there on.

Therefore, Corinne decided to withdraw her kids from the kindergarten. She planned to give the kids some time to rest at home before looking for another new kindergarten for them.

Early the next morning, Corinne set out with the kids after their breakfast.

At the kindergarten entrance, there was a balloon seller who resembled the same one she saw yesterday at the Carews' residence.

Corinne instinctively led the kids to take a detour to avoid the balloon seller and into the kindergarten.

Each of them went with their respective teachers to pack their belongings while Corinne went to handle the formalities with the principal.

The principal remained oblivious to Corinne's true identity. She simply exchanged pleasantries without making a real effort to convince Corinne to stay. After all, she did not want to offend the parents of the other child, whom she perceived as wealthier and more influential.

Corinne did not waste time engaging in small talk either. Once the paperwork was done, she took the three kids and left the kindergarten with all the documents.

As they stepped outside, the balloon seller from earlier was nowhere to be seen.

A man emerged from the central black car, bringing along a chubby boy.

Corinne quickly recognized them. It was the kid Joey confronted before—his name being Tonny Langdon. Accompanying him was his seemingly overprotective father, Terry.

"Hey, still remember us?" Terry called out in a gruff voice.

Corinne gazed at them calmly. "Get straight to the point! You're blocking the road for other innocent people."

Terry laughed savagely. "I don't care about them! I've been waiting here for days just to corner you!"

Corinne felt a sudden wave of disgust seeing a man like this. She could not fathom how such a foolish b*stard could end up having a child and becoming a parent.
