Ch. 1091..1100

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1091-Jeremy stroked Corinne’s head lovingly. “Good girl. You did the right thing.” Corinne was not used to him treating her like this since they had not seen each other for many days.

Corinne frowned and looked straight into his eyes. “Mister, when did you get back? Why did you come here?” Jeremy rested his chin on her forehead and huskily spoke, “I took the flight back home last night. And why did I come here, you ask? Well, I wouldn’t need to if you had just listened to me and stayed home instead of coming here. I can’t help but think you’re doing this to avoid seeing me.”

His warm breath tickled her face as he spoke, causing her to blush. “So is this your way of giving me a surprise?” she asked a little unhappily.

“I guess you can say that,” said Jeremy.

Corinne frowned. “I appreciate your thought, but I’ve told you that I don’t like surprises! Next time, please let me know in advance when you’re coming back.” It was true. Corinne did not like surprises, having to guess, or the unknown.

What she preferred was having her ducks in the row.

Jeremy pulled her into a hug and buried his face into her neck to breathe in her scent. He had sorely missed her scent while he was on his business trip.

“Okay, I promise you I’ll do that next time.” Finding it hard to breathe as she was being squeezed tightly, Corinne started struggling. However, she gave up after a while as Jeremy seemed to hug her even tighter the more she struggled.

“Mister, I have another question!” she said with a pout.

Jeremy rubbed his stubbled chin on her shoulder. “Ask away.” “Where are my clothes? I remember wearing them to sleep last night! How come I’m naked when I wake up?” she said crabbily.

Jeremy traced Corinne’s spine with his finger, as though he wanted to commit every dip and rise of her skin into his memory, while teasing her into submission.

“I wanted to hug you so badly since it’s been so long since we saw each other.

But your clothes were getting in the way,” he whispered seductively into her ear.

Corinne felt a minor electric current jolting through her body whenever Jeremy touched her, causing her to get goosebumps. On one hand, she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling, but on the other, she was still angry at him.

“So you took off my clothes without first asking me?” she asked, frowning.

Jeremy chuckled softly. “As your husband, I have every right to take off your clothes whenever and wherever I want. Or would you have preferred I wake you up the next time so you can take them off yourself?” Corinne frowned. “Are you sure you did nothing more than hug me last night?” Jeremy did not answer her question, but his silence said it all.

‘It was pointless to ask him that question. Knowing him, he would of course take advantage of me while I’m sleeping,’ thought Corinne. This just made her even angrier.

“Well, you had me for the whole night, so you can let me go now,” said Corinne.

“No. I haven’t had enough of you yet,” said Jeremy, hugging her tighter.

Corinne was starting to get annoyed. “I’m starving. I want to go wash up and eat my breakfast now!” “I only arrived at the airport at two in the morning, and it took me another hour to get here, so I didn’t really get to sleep much. Be a good girl and lie here with me for just a while more, and I’ll bring you out to eat later, okay?” For a moment, Corinne was very tempted to do as he said. However, she remembered the woman on the phone, and her anger flared up again.

“No! I’m not tired anymore; sleeping anymore will just give me a headache. You can sleep all you want if you’re tired, but I’m getting up!” She tried to break free from Jeremy’s embrace, but…

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1092-Jeremy bit Corinne’s ear roughly.

“Stop moving! Who says you’re going to get a headache by sleeping too much?

Just lie here. I’ll make you so comfortable that you’d think you’re in heaven!” It was obvious what Jeremy meant, and Corinne could not help but blush.

Nonetheless, she shoved him away angrily. “Hmph! It doesn’t sound like you’re as tired as you’re making yourself out to be since you still have the energy to say all this nonsense!” She quickly slipped out of the bed and put some distance between them to prevent Jeremy from pulling her back.

However, she realized something was not quite right the next second. Not only did Jeremy not pull her back, but he did not seem upset about what she did either.

Instead, he lied down on his side, propped up his face with one hand, and stared at her with a taunting smirk.

Corinne frowned, not understanding why he was looking at her like that until she felt the coldness creeping up on her skin. It was only then she remembered she was naked!

She looked down at herself, blushing madly. ‘Oh my god! How can I forget I’m naked? No wonder he’s looking at me like that! Where… Where are my clothes?! Gah! This is so embarrassing!’ For the first time ever, Corinne felt at a loss for what to do. Her hands went up and down her body, trying to cover herself as she looked around for her pajamas, but she failed to locate them.

Thus, she quickly ran over to her luggage and grabbed the first thing she touched before rushing into the bathroom. After she put on her baby pink dress, she looked at her blushing sorry sight in the mirror.

For some reason, she found herself always fumbling and quick to blush whenever Jeremy was around. ‘This isn’t me at all!’ she told herself with a sigh.

To not think about it further, she picked up her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth.

Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open. Before she could react, Jeremy walked in smirked at her through the reflection of the mirror.

Corinne was still embarrassed about being naked moments ago, so she frowned with wariness the moment Jeremy touched her.

“What are you doing?” she mumbled indistinctly as her mouth was filled with foam.

“Nothing. Can’t I just look at you?” he said with a smile.

Corinne’s lips twitched. “What’s there to look at? I’m just brushing my teeth.” Jeremy looked at her adoringly. “Everything you do captivates me. I just can’t get enough of you.” As corny as it was, Corinne could not help but blush again.

“Fine, you can watch. But nothing more than that, okay? If not, I’ll get angry!” “Okay. I promise you I’ll just watch.” ‘Why do I feel like he has become more clingy after his business trip?’ wondered Corinne. ‘The poor thing does look exhausted… But he hasn’t told me who the woman on the phone is yet, so I shouldn’t go easy on him!’ It was not like she could not ask him first, but she was holding out hope that Jeremy would tell her everything without her asking.

‘I’ll believe anything he says as long as he tells me everything without me prompting him,’ she told herself.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1093-However, if she were to ask Jeremy first, Corinne would not be happy with any answer she got from him. She would think he was hiding things from her or that he did not care about her since he obviously thought there was no need to explain himself.

Even though Jeremy was clingy to her as though she was his lifeline, she did not feel touched at all. ‘All men only have one thing on their minds!’ she thought.

She was really not in the mood to give him what he wanted. In fact, until he told her who the woman on the phone was first, she was not going to let him touch her!

After brushing her teeth, she bent down to wash her face. During all these, Jeremy would sometimes loosen his grip to allow her to move more easily, but

he never once let her go completely.

After she finished washing her face, Corinne straightened herself up to reach for her towel, but it was not there. Jeremy had taken it from the railing. He turned her around and lovingly wiped away the water dripping down her face.

Stunned, Corinne tried to take the towel from him, but he just pushed her hand away. He carefully wiped her face with the towel, and their eyes met.

Without Corinne noticing, the towel had been replaced with Jeremy’s fingers as he brushed her cheeks lightly before pressing his lips possessively and seductively.

Corinne was not stupid. She knew what was going to happen next, so before he bent down to kiss her, she quickly covered his mouth with one hand. She already decided she would not let him kiss her until he told her why a woman was with him in his hotel room.

Jeremy was not happy about being stopped at all. After all, he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He pried away her hand and asked, “What’s the matter?” “It’s nothing,” said Corinne sullenly.

Jeremy frowned. “Then why won’t you let me kiss you?” Corinne frowned. “You promised me you wouldn’t do anything else other than watch me!” Jeremy leaned in closer. “But you’ve already finished washing up, right?” Corinne turned her head away. “You’re not allowed to kiss me even after I finish washing up!” A deep frown appeared on Jeremy’s forehead. “Why not?” Corinne scoffed. “Because you don’t have the right to do so!” Jeremy did not understand what she was saying. He pinched her chin and turned her head back around to face him. “Why don’t I have a right? Didn’t you already say you’re willing to be with me? I’ve only been gone for a few days, and you’ve changed your mind?” he asked sternly.

Not wanting to be bewitched by his enchanting eyes. Corinne tried to turn her head away again. However, no matter how hard she tried, she was no match for Jeremy’s strength. In fact, she was just making it even more painful for herself.

Frowning, she said angrily, “Stop… You’re hurting me.” Jeremy immediately loosened his grip. “Let me take a look. Where does it hurt?” Corinne glared at him angrily. “This isn’t the first time you hurt me, you know!

You only know how to use force to get what you want. All you care about is your feelings!” Stunned, Jeremy let go of her completely.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I promise I won’t do it again. It’s just that… I miss you so, so much. Please don’t be angry…” he said coaxingly.

“Hmph!” Corinne snorted sullenly and turned her face away.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1094-Seeing that Corinne was really unwilling to kiss him, Jeremy simply sighed and said, “Okay. I won’t force you if you don’t want to do it.” True to his words, he let her go.

Corinne did not let her guard down. “Why are you still standing here, then?” she asked with a single eyebrow raised. “Go on. Get out.” Jeremy tapped her on the nose. “I should be the one saying that to you. You’ve finished washing up, right? So it’s now my turn. Of course, I won’t mind if you choose to stay in here with me.” After that, he started unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his sexy collarbone.

Seeing this, Corinne quickly slipped out of the bathroom as she knew Jeremy would get frisky if she did not do so.

‘Oh my god. The way she still blushes whenever she sees my body even though she’s already pregnant with my kid is so cute!’ thought Jeremy with a smile as he looked at her running out of the bathroom.

Corinne made sure to shut the door after her to make it clear to Jeremy that under no circumstances was he to follow her out to take advantage of her.

After she calmed down, she looked down sadly on the floor. What should have been a happy reunion was marred by the fact that Jeremy did not explain to her who the woman on the phone was. It was as if he thought he could get away with it by pretending the whole thing did not happen when he knew she had heard the woman’s voice.

Knock! Knock!

Corinne had just finished changing when a knock sounded at the door. Thinking it was Tommy, she went to open the door. Instead, it was Jason, standing at the door with his usual smile instead.

“Good morning, Corinne.” “Yeah, good morning,” said Corinne with a perfunctory smile.

“Are you okay? You don’t look like you slept well at all,” asked Jason.

Corinne was in no mood to chit-chat with him, so she asked bluntly, “Can I help you?” Jason shrugged. “Oh, it’s nothing in particular. I just came to see if you’d like to join me for breakfast.” “Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not hungry yet, so you should go ahead without me,” said Corinne with a bored expression.

After that, she moved to close her door.

Having expected to receive this kind of response from her, Jason quickly slipped in through the crack like an eel.

“Mister Jason, what do you think you’re doing?” asked Corinne unhappily.

Jason sat on an armchair as though he was in his room. “What do you mean?

I’m waiting for you to go have breakfast with me.” “I’ve already told you that I’m not hungry and to go ahead without me!” “But it’s so boring eating alone!” whined Jason. “At least with you there, I’ll have somebody to talk to! I’ve decided to wait here until you’re hungry. Then we can go have breakfast together.” Corinne frowned. “Mister Jason, hasn’t anyone ever told you it’s rude to barge into a woman’s room this early in the morning?” Jason smiled innocently. “But I didn’t barge in here… You were the one who opened the door for me, remember?” Corinne was speechless. ‘Why, he’s the most shameless man I’ve ever met!’ Jason chuckled softly when he saw her unhappy face.

“If you don’t like me being here, come have breakfast with me.” Corinne might have agreed readily if it was not for her husband in the bathroom

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1095-Anyone would have thought something was going on between them if they saw Jason in Corinne’s room this early in the morning.

‘D*mn this shameless fool! Doesn’t he know how incriminating this is?!’ thought Corinne. Since Jeremy was there, she knew she should wait for him to finish taking his shower.

“Sorry, but it’s really inconvenient for me to go anywhere right now. It’s best if you go ahead without me,” said Corinne with a frown.

Jason did not realize someone was in the bathroom as the summer villa boasted the best soundproof walls money could buy. He was about to say

something to convince Corinne otherwise when Phoebe’s voice suddenly came from the hallway.

“Joey! Why do you want to find her? Come back!” Corinne and Jason quickly looked toward the door in unison.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Corinne purposely left the door slightly ajar after Jason slipped in.

Joey carefully peeked in through the door and looked at Corinne hopefully.

Corinne was walk over to him when Phoebe pushed open the door and pulled Joey back out.

“I already told you to not talk to a stranger! Why don’t you ever listen to me?” Joey furrowed his eyebrows in distress, and he stuttered, “Sis… Sissy isn’t…a stranger.” Phoebe became even angrier after she heard that. “What do you mean, she isn’t a stranger?! Let me tell you something: Apart from your mother and me, everyone else is a stranger to you. Only your mother and I have your best interest at heart, so you better stay with us! Understood?!” Joey pouted. He wanted to argue back, but his limited vocabulary did not allow him to do so.

Corinne narrowed her eyes after witnessing the whole ordeal from the door.

“Come here, Joey.” Joey’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard Corinne calling him over. Not caring about Phoebe, he half-ran to Corinne and wrapped his arms happily around her legs.

“Sissy!” babbled Joey.

Corinne bent down to ruffle his hair. “You’re up early. Did you have something you wanted to tell me?” she asked gently.

Joey shook his head and glanced anxiously at Phoebe.

He was only trying to escape from Phoebe’s rage. For the past few days, she was easily irked at the drop of the hat.

Knowing what Joey was thinking about, Corinne could not help but feel sorry for the boy.

Thus, she turned to Phoebe to ask, “Miss Phoebe, do you mind if Joey stays with me here for a bit?” Phoebe crossed her arms and glared at her. “I do mind; I’m worried this naughty boy would bother you. Joey, come here. It’s time for breakfast.” It was clear Joey did not want to go with her as he subconsciously tightened his grip around Corinne’s legs as though he was begging her to save him.

Corinne could not bear to see him like that. ‘Miss Phoebe is definitely going to give Joey a scolding if he were to go with her.’ “Oh, it’s no bother at all, Miss Phoebe,” said Corinne with a smile. “In fact, I was hoping he’d save me from the boredom. I hope you’ll allow him to spend some time with me.” Phoebe scoffed. “What can a kid like him do to save you from boredom? I think you should just forget about it

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1096-Corinne bent down to pick up Joey, who put his arms around her neck.

“We can chat about all sorts of things. Plus, this’ll be a good practice before I give birth. You don’t need to worry, Miss Phoebe. I’ll never take him away without your permission.” “As if I believe you! Where am I going to find him if you secretly take him away?

Come, Joey. How many times have I told you not to let strangers pick you up?” said Phoebe angrily.

She then walked over and tried to pick him up from Corinne’s arm, but he clung to her tightly. This made Phoebe even angrier, so she started prying Joey off.

Still, he did not let go. That was how much he did not want to be with Phoebe.

In the end, Phoebe gave one last pull with all her strength, and only then did she pry Joey away from Corinne’s arms, causing her to stumble back.

“Watch out, Corinne!” cried Jason, who kept himself hidden from Phoebe all this while. He quickly strode over to steady her. “Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?” he asked with concern.

“I’m okay,” said Corinne with a shake of her head. She then moved away from Jason, but it was too late.

Phoebe was stunned to see Jason coming out of Corinne’s room before a mocking smile appeared on her face.

“Well, fancy seeing you here, Jason. What are you doing in Corinne’s room so early in the morning? Tsk, tsk! Don’t you know she’s a married woman?” Jason smiled calmly and politely at Phoebe. “Aunt Phoebe, please don’t get this the wrong way. I only came just now to ask Corinne to join me for breakfast.” “Is that so? You two sure are chummy,” said Phoebe snidely.

“We are friends after all,” said Jason with the same smile on his face.

“Friends? Ha!” Phoebe took out her phone and started recording them. “There’s no pure friendship between a woman and man. Do you seriously think anyone will believe you only came to ask her to join you for breakfast?

“My, my. I’ve really underestimated you, Corinne. I thought your target was only Jeremy, but I see now just how insatiable you are! Seems like you’re willing to throw yourself at anyone, including Jason, to get your hands on wealth and power!” Corinne frowned and rolled her eyes at the troublemaker Jason. She then asked calmly, “Miss Phoebe, do you have any proof I was throwing myself at Jason?” Phoebe chuckled snidely. “Isn’t it obvious? I mean, I caught you two hanging out in the same room this early in the morning.” Corinne smiled. “And is there a law that says two friends of the opposite sex cannot hang out in the room early in the morning? Plus, we have both of our clothes on, so what seems to be the problem?” Phoebe looked at their tidy clothes and frowned, but she still kept her phone aimed at Corinne and Jason.

“In any case, I have video evidence of you two hanging out in a room alone.

Let’s see what the people online will say after I post the video online!” Corinne chuckled softly. She was so bored with the whole thing.

“Miss Phoebe, it’s obvious you haven’t learned anything from your last lesson.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t use the same tactic of trying to crush me with public opinion.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1097-Phoebe thought back to what happened last time and concluded she did lack conclusive evidence.

All of a sudden, she spotted something under the bed from the corner of her eyes.

‘What’s that?’ She quickly put Joey down and strode over before bending down to pick up a pair of rumpled pajamas and lace-trimmed underwear from under the bed.

She zoomed in the camera lens of her evidence while laughing maniacally.

“Hahaha! I found the evidence! Pray tell, what’s all this doing under the bed if you two didn’t do the hanky-panky as you said?”

Corinne could not help but blush when she remembered how her pajamas and underwear came to end up under the bed.

“Ahem! How they ended up under the bed is for me to know alone. Give them back to me now!” She walked over to take back the clothes, but Phoebe quickly hid them behind her.

“What? Feeling guilty now, are we? Don’t even think of destroying the evidence!” Corinne frowned. “Those aren’t evidence. They’re just clothes which I’ve changed out of.” Phoebe giggled sarcastically. “Are you sure about that? Would a normal person hide their clothes under their bed after changing out of them? I think not! They must’ve ended up under the bed while you two were in the throes of your passion! Give it up, Corinne! I’m going to tell everyone in the Holden family about your affair. Ooh, I can’t wait for them to kick you out of the house!” It was true. She did not take the clothes off herself; Jeremy did that while she was sleeping. ‘God, this is so embarrassing!’ she thought as Phoebe waved her underwear up in the air.

Jason walked over. “Miss Phoebe, this is all a misunderstanding. I really arrived here a few moments ago. You can ask the servants if you don’t believe me.

They’ll tell you they saw me walking here in the morning.” Phoebe gave Jason the side-eye. “Do you think I’m stupid, Jason? You two would of course do anything to cover up the affair. The servants seeing you in the morning doesn’t prove anything. In fact, it might be a tactic of yours for misleading us to think otherwise.” Exasperated, Jason was very close to pulling out his hair. “Miss Phoebe, do you really have to think of us that way?” “Ha! You should just drop the act since you called you and her ‘us’!” said Phoebe mockingly. “Why did you suddenly come here if it wasn’t for Corinne?

How did you end up in her room when you so obviously didn’t come with her yesterday? I bet you’re taking this opportunity to have an affair with her since Jeremy isn’t here.” Jason frowned. He wanted to explain his way out of this, but he did not know where to start.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and a man’s voice rang out threateningly, “Who says I’m not here?” Stunned, Phoebe looked at Jeremy with wide-eyed horror.

Jason, too, was stunned. He turned around and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Only Corinne was unfazed by Jeremy’s appearance.

Jeremy, wrapped up in a bathrobe, walked over to Corinne.

“Miss Phoebe, why are you so hellbent on causing trouble for my wife?” “J—Jeremy… What… What are you doing here?” stuttered Phoebe.

“I came to find my wife

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1098-Jeremy stroked Corinne’s head adoringly as he spoke.

Phoebe was speechless, but not wanting to give up, she showed him the pajamas and underwear she picked up from under the bed.

“Don’t be fooled by her, Jeremy. She’s cheating on you! Look. I found these under the bed. She must be afraid of you finding out, so she hid them under the bed.” Jeremy glanced at the clothes that Corinne would only wear in private before snatching them. “I took them off her. We were just doing a little catch-up last night. Surely that’s allowed, right?” he said calmly.

Corinne covered her face with her hands. ‘God, this is so embarrassing! How can I ever show my face around these people anymore?’ she thought, her lips trembling. ‘Ugh! Jeremy shouldn’t have said everything, too! Has he no shame?’ Jason narrowed his eyes, which seemed to be dimming by the second.

“Oh, I see… Well, if that’s the case…” said Phoebe, fumbling for words.

“There’s no if,” said Jeremy, his eyebrow raising sharply.

Under Jeremy’s intimidating stare, Phoebe’s excitement turned to fear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you came, either. It’s my fault for not getting my facts right.” Not wanting to waste any more time on this matter, Jeremy simply uttered two words coldly, “Get lost.” Phoebe nodded and quickly escaped out of the room, pulling Joey—who had no idea what was going on—out with her.

“Let’s get out of here, Joey!” she said.

“Wait,” uttered Jeremy authoritatively.

Phoebe stopped and turned back slowly in fear to look at him.

“Yes, Jeremy? Is there anything else? If not, I really should get Joey to have his breakfast.” “The kid can stay. You go,” he said in a tone that left no room for negotiation.

Stunned, Phoebe looked down at Joey. She found herself even more reluctant to let him go when she knew Jeremy still cared about him.

“Jeremy, this kid can be quite a handful. It’s best if I take care of him,” she said.

“Miss Phoebe, have you forgotten that I’m his legal guardian?” asked Jeremy.

“Uh… Fine…” Left with no choice, Phoebe let go of Joey and told him to be a good boy, albeit a little fakely, before leaving the room grudgingly.

Joey’s eyes lit up with the sweet taste of freedom. He toddled over to Jeremy, which he had not seen for a long time, and looked up at him with worship in his eyes. “Dada!” “Hey there, little guy,” said Jeremy while bending down to pat his head.

He was actually not that close to Joey. It was Anya who did most of the caretaking after Joey was adopted. In fact, Jeremy would only go over to see him when Anya asked him to come over with one excuse or another.

“Jeremy, when did you get here?” asked Jason casually.

Jeremy looked at his friend emotionlessly. “Early this morning.” Jason smiled. “I see you’re still the same as always. You don’t ever tell us when you’re leaving or when you’re coming back. We could’ve given you a proper send-off and a welcome-back, you know.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1099-Jeremy gave Jason a small smile. “I heard from Tommy that you’ve been taking care of my wife. Should I hold a banquet to thank you then, Jason?” Corinne could feel the tension in the air between the two men. She would not even be surprised if thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the room.

However, it was obvious Jason did not want to have a direct confrontation since he smiled and said, “I’m doing what any friend would’ve done, so don’t worry about it. I guess I should take my leave and head to breakfast alone now that you’re here, Jeremy. Well, bye!” After that, he chuckled self-deprecatingly and gave them a wave before leaving the room. No one saw just how empty and hollow his eyes looked the moment

he walked out. To his credit, he made sure to shut the door after him.

Jeremy’s brow was slightly relaxed after that. He looked at Corinne, whose face was still covered with her hands, and laughed out loud.

“You can put your hands down now. They’re all gone.” Corinne kept her hands up. She wished she could crawl into a hole and die at that moment. ‘It’s fine if he doesn’t find it embarrassing, but how could he drag me into it too? He really shouldn’t implied we had s*x last night. Ugh!’ Seeing she was standing stock still, Jeremy reached out to pry her hands away.

“Why are you covering your face like that? What do you think you are? An ostrich? You know I can still see you, right?” Corinne frowned. “It’s all your fault! Why did you have to tell them about our private business? Do you really want an image of us having s*x going through their minds?” Jeremy smiled and pinched her chin. “Yes, that’s exactly what I want! That way, they’ll know to stay away from you. I want them to get it through their heads that you’re mine and mine alone.” Corinne’s lips twitched. “Mister, do you think it makes you look sexy to act like this?” Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “I don’t think. I know I am.” Corinne was speechless. ‘Well, I can’t fault his logic.’ Jeremy showed Corinne her pajamas and underwear. “Do you still want to wear these?” Corinne quickly snatched the clothes and glared at him angrily. “Don’t ever bring this up again!” Jeremy chuckled happily. He thought Corinne was so adorable that he almost could not stand all the serotonin rushing into his brain. Her only flaw, he thought, was not letting him ravage her.

In fact, if Joey were not there in the room with them, Jeremy would have bit Corinne to ease his burning desire.

While Corinne was hugging her underwear to herself in embarrassment, she felt someone tugging at her shirt. Stunned, she looked down and saw Joey clutching the hem of her shirt in his chubby fist. He looked up at her with bright, shiny eyes.

Corinne quickly threw her underwear aside and bent down to ask gently, “What’s the matter, Joey? Are you hungry?” Joey shook his head. “No… Joey… No hungry…” Corinne looked into his innocent eyes. “What do you want to do, then? Don’t worry, you’re safe here. You can tell me anything.” Joey leaned against Corinne and looked up at Jeremy, thinking. After a few moments, he turned back to Corinne, saying, “Take… Take Joey…away…” Corinne immediately felt her heart tightened. Frowning, she stroked him softly on the head. “Okay, you have my word. I’m going to take you away no matter what!” Joey looked into her eyes and felt a sense of security he never felt before. He nodded docilely. “Thank you… Sissy…” Corinne was about to pat Joey on the head when Jeremy roughly lifted him up by the collar into the air.

“What did you call her just now?” he asked sternly.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1100-Joey’s legs dangled helplessly in the air. He looked at Corinne with big sad puppy eyes while crying, “Sissy… Sissy!’ Jeremy frowned. He took a deep breath and said nothing else, but this just made Joey even more frightened.

There was nearly a ten-year age difference between Jeremy and Corinne. Joey calling her ‘Sissy’ only served to highlight the generational gap between them.

Seeing this, Corinne quickly took Joey from Jeremy. “What are you doing?

You’re scaring him!” “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for him to call you ‘Sissy?” asked Jeremy with a hardened expression.

Corinne rolled her eyes at him turning back to Joey. “Don’t mind him, Joey. You can call me anything you want. Sissy or Auntie doesn’t make a difference to me,” she said while stroking his head.

Hearing this, Joey visibly relaxed. He nodded docilely and snuggled into Corinne’s shoulder.

As much as he was unhappy with Joey calling Corinne ‘Sissy’, Jeremy could not help but soften when he saw Corinne showering Joey with love. He lifted her chin and asked, “Little rascal, you’re really willing to accept this child?” Corinne scoffed. “You make it sound like I have a choice. I might not have the experience of being a stepmother, but what I’m good at is learning. In any case, it’s better than leaving him with Miss Phoebe!” Jeremy looked at her admiringly before kissing her forehead. “Thank you.” ‘What is he thanking me for?’ wondered Corinne. She did not feel like she had done anything worthy of being thanked, so the kiss caught her off-guard.

“Anyway, I’m going to bring Joey down for breakfast now. Come join us after you’ve changed.” After that, she—with a poker face—left the room with Joey.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes as he watched them leave. ‘Why do I get the sense she doesn’t want me anywhere near her?’ … Corinne exhaled softly the moment she was out of the room. She nearly caved in to Jeremy’s gentleness, but she was glad she held her ground. ‘I’m not going to let him off the hook so easily!’ she swore to herself.

Joey looked at her curiously. ‘Auntie Sissy… Dada likes you?” ‘Auntie Sissy? Well, that’s new. But…’ Corinne looked at Joey a little embarrassedly. “Joey, do you know what it means to like someone?” Joey nodded seriously and tried to explain what he knew with his limited vocabulary, “It means…kissy kissy…” Corinne was speechless. ‘That’s right… He was there when Jeremy kissed my forehead.’ She did not know how to explain such a complicated topic to Joey.

Joey blinked again, but this time in dismay. “Dada… No like… Mama… Dada no kiss Mama… Mama angry… Hit Joey…” Corinne’s heart ached at this. Joey was of course talking about Anya. ‘Poor kid.

Anya must’ve taken her anger out on him every time she failed to get Jeremy’s attention.’
