The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1065

Throughout the call, never did Corinne once ask about Jeremy nor did Tommy mention him.

'If Mister wanted me to know about something, he would've told me. I wouldn't need to ask other people about it. Since he doesn't want me to know what he's up to, there's no point in asking Tommy,' she thought.

When night came, Tommy visited Corinne to give a status report on the task she asked him to do. Since it would be inappropriate to receive him into the bedroom, Corinne asked him to follow her to Jeremy's study.

"Ma'am, I already went to the Riveras to ask for custody of Mister Joey," said Tommy respectfully.

Corinne was sitting casually on Jeremy's office chair with her cheek resting on her hand. "And what did they say?"

"Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice said you've mentioned Mister Joey's custody arrangement to them before. After careful consideration, they both think it's best for you and Mister Jeremy to take care of him."

Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked at Tommy's sides. "So where is he? Why didn't you bring him here?"

Corinne could not help but see herself in Joey. 'Poor kid. He's been mistreated again and again after Anya found no more use of him.'

"Even though Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice agreed to let you take Mister Joey away, Miss Phoebe insisted on keeping him by her side. She said that now that Miss Anya had been locked up, she can't lose her only grandson too. She even went as far as to threaten to commit suicide if they take Mister Joey away from her."

Corinne did not pity Phoebe. She only found the whole thing laughable. 'So I see she has changed from a good mother act to a good grandmother act now that Anya isn't there to play the 'good daughter' act. When was she when Anya was abusing Joey? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Both of them are as evil as they come.'
