The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 767

"I know it was wrong of me for not taking good care of Joey…but please don't give him away. I promise I'll be a better mother to him from now on!" Anya pleaded tearfully.

The sight of her was enough to give Lucas a headache. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Fine… Just look after him now while I go out to take a call."

He then fished out his vibrating phone and turned to leave the room, but before he could even take a step, Joey shakily grabbed Lucas' hand. "Uncle…don't go…" he said weakly.

Joey wanted to tell Lucas he was scared of being left alone with Anya, who would turn into a monster when no one was around, but he could not.

Lucas had no idea what Joey was thinking, so he simply stroked his cheek and said coaxingly, "Be a good boy, Joey. I promise I'll be back in a jiffy, okay? And in the meantime, your mommy will stay here with you."

"Uncle…don't go… I…scared," said Joey fearfully. He looked like he was about to cry.

Lucas immediately became suspicious of Anya when he saw how frightened Joey was at being left alone with her. 'Is he actually afraid of…Anya? When did he become so afraid of her? Did Anya lose her patience and blow up at him?'

His phone kept vibrating. It was an important work call, so he had no choice but to take it. After cooing gently at Joey, he quickly left the room.

Joey reached out his hand helplessly as he watched Lucas leave the room, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach him.

Once the door closed and the sound of Lucas' footsteps faded, Anya immediately slapped Joey's face. "D*mn you, you little brat! Why did you do that? Do you want everyone in the world to find out just how scared you are of me?"
