Ch. 1231..1240

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1231-Corinne never expected that after all this time, Jeremy could still hurt her.

“No! I’m not going to apologize to her!” Apologizing was akin to admitting to wrongdoing.

The waiters did not dare to intervene, so they went to get the manager. After all, it was a bad look for the restaurant if a fight broke out at the entrance.

The manager’s hurried arrival attracted the attention of other diners. They, too, came along with him to see what was going on.

Pamela asked Francine to help her over to the entrance when she heard someone say Jeremy and a woman were fighting with another woman. She

broke through the crowd and saw Jeremy grabbing Corinne by the collar and forcing her to apologize to Sophia, whose head was bleeding.

However, no matter how much he threatened her, Corinne stubbornly refused to apologize. Sophia, on the other hand, kept telling Jeremy she was fine and to let it go.

The livid Pamela rushed over and pushed Jeremy away. “What are you doing?

Have you forgotten that Corinne is pregnant?! Have you lost your mind? How can you treat her like this?” “You see how Sophia is bleeding from her head? Yeah, well, Corinne did that.

She needs to apologize to her,” said Jeremy evenly.

With her arms protectively wrapped around Corinne, Pamela turned to look at Sophia. “Sophia, what’s going on? Did Corinne really hurt you?” she asked when she saw the blood on Sophia’s forehead.

“Y… Yes…” replied Sophia hesitantly. “But I’m sure she didn’t mean to! She wanted to leave, but I tried to stop her from leaving because I knew you wanted to talk to her. She…must’ve found me annoying, so she pushed me away gently…and I mean very gently. But it caught me off-guard, so I fell and hit my head. Jeremy started to panic when he saw the blood coming out and wouldn’t stop forcing out an apology from Corinne. I kept telling him I was fine, but he wouldn’t listen to me…” Pamela frowned after Sophia’s retelling of what transpired. She looked at the glowering Jeremy before turning back to look at Corinne, whose eyes were red and teary.

“Corinne, is what Sophia said true?” Corinne looked at Pamela with wide eyes. She was not in a good mood, so she simply said, “I guess so.” “Since you did push her, Jeremy’s right to ask you to apologize to Sophia,” said Pamela begrudgingly. “Now, won’t you be a good girl and say sorry?” This stunned Corinne, but it was not long until a chuckle escaped her. ‘I shouldn’t be surprised. The Holdens are all the same.’ She thought Pamela would take her side, but she was obviously wrong about that. ‘Of course she’d take her real granddaughter-in-law’s side. I’m nothing but a birthing machine to them. They want me to apologize, huh? Fine, I’ll apologize!’

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1232-Alright. I’ll apologize to Miss Sophia,” said Corinne with a smile.

Pamela smiled, relieved by Corinne’s answer. “That’s right, Corinne. You’re every bit of the sensible girl I know you to be.” Corinne walked up to Sophia, who tried to hide the glee in her eyes.

Sophia waved her hand and lied, “Really, there’s no need, Corinne. I know you didn’t mean—ahh!” Corinne grabbed Sophia’s hair, dragged her to the counter, and slammed her head down on it before she could finish her sentence.

Everything happened so fast that Sophia did not even have a chance to react.

The next thing she knew, she was screaming out in pain.

No one expected that to happen too, so they were understandably shocked.

Corinne had finished dealing with Sophia by the time Jeremy went to stop her.

He glared at Corinne when he saw the new injury on Sophia’s forehead.

“What the hell did you do that for?” he hissed.

Corinne pushed Sophia onto Jeremy’s chest before pulling out a tissue from the countertop to wipe her hand.

“Mister Jeremy, there’s nothing more I hate in this world than to be accused of things I didn’t do. I’ll never apologize for baseless accusations. Since you insist I apologize to Sophia, however, I might as well do the things you accused me of before apologizing.” Jeremy frowned and steadied Sophia before pulling his hand away. He then looked at Corinne with darkened eyes.

Corinne no longer cared what Jeremy thought of her. “Now that I actually hurt Sophia, I don’t mind apologizing to her anymore,” she added.

She turned to Sophia and said solemnly, “Miss Sophia, I’m really sorry for hurting you. Do you need to go to the hospital? I’ll compensate for any medical fees you might’ve incurred.” Sophia suppressed her anger and looked at Corinne in disbelief. “Why… Why are you treating me like this when we’ve just met?” Corinne raised an eyebrow. “You don’t have a right to question me when you’ve asked for it yourself.” “But I didn’t ask for it…” said Sophia pitifully.

Corinne crumpled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can. She then turned to Jeremy and asked, “Now that I’ve apologized, can I go?” Jeremy simply looked at her coldly.

Noting his silence, Corinne turned to leave.

Pamela quickly snapped out of her shock. She then put herself in front of Corinne and grabbed her hand. “Corinne, where are you going? Come home with me!” Corinne pulled her hand back and put some distance between herself and the old woman. “Miss Pamela, I’m sorry you went to all this effort to come here, but I’m not going home with you. I’m going to go back to my own home. Please ask Jeremy and Francine to send you home.” Pamela did not like Corinne addressing her as ‘Miss Pamela’, but she decided not to correct her on that since there were more important matters.

“Corinne, the baby is going to be due soon, so it’s not safe for you to be wandering outside. Be a good girl and come home with me.” Corinne took another step back to prevent Pamela from grabbing her hand again.

“I’m not wandering outside. I have friends and a house, and I know how to take care of myself. You can rest assured I’ll be living a very good life,” said Corinne impassively. “Miss Pamela, I hope you stop seeing me as your family. Your real granddaughter-in-law is over there. You should ask her to give birth if you want to have a great-grandson. As for the baby I’m carrying right now, he doesn’t have anything to do with the Holdens. You don’t have to worry about him anymore.”

 

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1234-Noticing bringing up Joey did not even work on Corinne, Francine grabbed her elbow again. “No! I’m never going to let you go!” Corinne grew impatient. “Let go, or I’ll hit you!” She might not be able to do a lot of things because of her huge baby bump, but beating up Francine—who had never been in a fight before—was still easy for her.

“Hit me, then! I’m still never going to let you go even if you beat me to death!” said Francine fearlessly.

Frankly, Corinne did not have the heart to hit her anymore. “Has every one of you Holdens lost your minds? Just what the hell do you think I am?”

At that moment, Annie and Marcus came running over.

Annie sighed when she saw how stubborn Francine was.

“Corinne, Francine only means well,” she said worriedly. “Maybe…you can consider going back to the restaurant to talk things out with Uncle Jeremy? I just feel like there’s a misunderstanding in all of this.” Corinne looked at Annie. Suddenly, she pushed Francine toward her.

“Take her back to her brother. I don’t have the time to involve myself with the Holdens anymore!” A hot pink Panamera was parked at the roadside, and Corinne got into the front passenger seat.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Aaron’s cheeky face. He looked at Annie and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take very good care of Corinne.” Annie’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him. She nodded awkwardly at him.

“Okay. I’ll leave her to you, then.” Aaron glanced at Marcus. After thinking about it, he said, “You can come with us if you’re still worried about her.” Annie was a little taken aback. ‘Corinne must be keeping all her feelings to herself. I might be able to bring her around if I talk to her!’ With that thought in mind, Annie turned to Marcus and said, “Marcus, I’m sorry, but do you mind going back to the company on your own? I’m going to send Corinne home with Mister Aaron.” As unwilling as Marcus was, he did not dare to go against his boss’ wishes.

After Annie got into the car, Francine ran to the car, too. “Wait, I want to go with you guys!” However, Aaron had locked the doors, so Francine could not open them no matter how hard she pulled.

“What the hell? Unlock the doors this instant! Hey! Do you hear me?!” screamed Francine.

Aaron ignored Francine. Instead, he turned toward Marcus and said, “Marcus, do you mind pulling Miss Francine aside? She’s in my way.” Marcus snapped out of his daze. “Y—Yes, Mister Aaron! Uh… Miss Francine, it’s dangerous for you to be so close to the car. They’re going to drive off soon.” “Ugh! Let go of me! No, don’t!” Aaron floored the gas pedal and drove off after Marcus pulled Francine away.

In a fit of anger, Francine threw a kick at the direction the car drove off too, causing her shoe to fly up in the air.

… In the car, Corinne leaned back into the seat and closed her eyes to get some rest.

Annie peeked her head out from the backseat. “Corinne… Uncle Jeremy…” “If you bring up that name one more time, I’m going to throw you out of the car,” said Corinne emotionlessly, her eyes still closed.

Annie never saw this side of Corinne. She became so scared that she did not even dare to breathe.

Seeing Annie’s terrified expression from the rearview mirror, Aaron could not help but smile.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1235-Soon, they arrived at the apartment Corinne shared with Xante and Aaron.

As soon as she entered the unit, Corinne curled herself up on the sofa. Having not seen her for half a year, her pet cat was so excited that it could not stop rubbing itself against her.

Aaron went to the open-plan kitchen to get her a warm cup of milk. “Here you go, Boss,” he said as he placed it on top of the table.

“Thanks,” said Corinne, but she did not touch it. Instead, she remained seated with Mimi curled up in her lap, lost in thought.

This was the first time Annie had been at the apartment. She started looking around, and when she saw Corinne stroking a cat, she said worriedly, “Corinne,

I don’t think it’s safe to be around an animal when you’re pregnant.” Corinne glanced at Annie. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” Annie was speechless. Corinne had never spoken to her like that before. ‘She must be angry at me because I’m related to Uncle Jeremy,’ she thought.

Aaron washed up some fruit and placed them on the table before smiling and saying to Annie, “Don’t worry. The cat goes for regular deworming at the vet, so it’s safe.” “Oh. Okay…” said Annie with a nod.

She came to persuade Corinne to go back home, but she found herself not daring to even bring up Jeremy’s name after Corinne’s harsh reminder.

Aaron put on some soothing music on the television before covering Corinne with a blanket. After that, he gestured to Annie with his eyebrow and whispered, “Let’s give her some quiet time. Come with me.” Annie nodded and followed Aaron to where he was gesturing. However, she did not expect him to bring her into his bedroom! She thought that room would be a study, a gym, or anything else.

When she saw the bed in the room, realization immediately dawned on her.

She felt a little lost, not knowing whether to stand or sit.

Aaron passed her a bottle of Coke. “You can sit wherever you like!” Annie stood awkwardly after she accepted the bottle.

The only places to sit in the room were the bed and a bean bag chair. Annie thought it would not be appropriate to sit on either.

Aaron cracked open his beer and leaned on the shelf. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?” he asked with a smirk.

Annie was not happy at the insinuation. She stood up a little straighter and said angrily, “No! It’s just that I have nowhere to sit. Mister Aaron, don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to bring me into your room? I think we should go into another room.” Aaron shrugged. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it since I’m not going to do anything to you.” Annie started blushing. “I didn’t imply you were going to do anything to me. I just think it’s not appropriate for me to be in your bedroom.” Aaron threw his head back to gulp down his beer before walking over to her. He then leaned down and smiled at her. “It won’t be inappropriate if no one knows you’re in here.” Annie took a step back. “Who says no one would know? Have you forgotten Corinne is right outside?” “Well, she’s one of us. She’s not going to tell.” “No! That won’t do either. I… I have a boyfriend. He’ll be mad if he finds out I was in another man’s bedroom. I’m going out now!” Annie hated how her heart would inevitably start skipping like crazy whenever she was with Aaron.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1236-Annie did not want Aaron to know what she was thinking, so she tried to quickly escape.

However, she only managed to open the door a little before he pressed the door shut again from behind her, causing her to nearly jump with fright.

Not daring to look back, she frowned and asked, “Uhh, Mister Aaron, what are you doing?” Aaron’s breath came down hot and smelled like beer from behind her. “Nothing.” Annie’s heart was beating so loudly that she was sure he could hear it. “Well then, please let me out. I… I need to go to the restroom.”

“There’s a restroom to the left of you,” said Aaron with a smirk.

Annie turned to the left and saw there was indeed the bathroom. However, it would be inappropriate for her to use his restroom. Plus, she was just using that as an excuse to get out of the room!

“Mister Aaron, I don’t like using other guy’s bathrooms. Please let me out.” Aaron, however, had other thoughts. “Don’t worry. My bathroom is very clean. I have a cleaner come every day to clean the whole house.” Annie was speechless. She had no choice but to go to his bathroom to get away from him.

After she locked the bathroom door, she looked into the mirror and noted how red her face was. This only made her blush even more.

‘It was a good thing my back was to him, or he’d laugh at me again if he sees me blushing like this,’ thought Annie.

She regretted coming to the apartment. Even though she prepared herself to live happily ever after with Marcus, she could not lie to herself that she had not moved on from Aaron.

The only thing she did was suppress her feelings for him by telling herself he was not a good man on account of how many times he disrespected her in the past.

Even so, she still could not stop her heart from speeding whenever she saw Aaron. She chalked it down to how handsome he was. In fact, he was the most perfect-looking man she ever met.

‘What should I do now? I can’t go out looking like this…’ thought Annie.

She stayed in the bathroom for a good 10 minutes before going out. Even though she did not want to face him, it would be even more embarrassing if he suspected she was having constipation.

The moment she walked out, she saw Aaron leaning against the bedroom door, smirking at her.

“So you’re finally out.” Annie frowned. “Mister Aaron, why are you doing this? Can you please stop bothering me?” Aaron smiled. “How am I bothering you?” “How can you ask that when you’re the one who wouldn’t let me get out of this room?” retorted Annie.

Aaron chuckled. “I told you to let the boss have some quiet time, right? And you agreed to come here with me.” Annie continued to frown. “I didn’t know you’d bring me into your bedroom! I wouldn’t have come if I’d known.” Aaron smiled. “Fine. I won’t tease you anymore. Just stay in here for a while.

You’re going to wake Corinne up if you go out now. She just might throw you out if you make her angry.” Annie calmed down a little when she saw how serious Aaron was. “Did she get her bad temper after getting pregnant?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1237-“Nope. She’s always been like this. She’s usually very even-tempered, but once she gets going? Whoo baby, you wouldn’t want to be near her when that happens. I mean, that’s why I’m hiding in here with you too,” said Aaron.

“Oh…alright.” Annie could not help but worry about Corinne.

Aaron put his hands on Annie’s shoulders, guided her to the bed, and pressed her down to sit.

“I have no hidden agenda for bringing you into my room. It’s just that I only have one-third ownership of this apartment. The rest of the rooms are either Xante’s or the boss’ territory, so I can’t bring you there without their permission.

Otherwise, they’d beat me up,” explained Aaron.

At first, Annie was scared to sit on his bed, but she felt a little better after his explanation, so she remained seated.

She had always known Aaron lived with Xante, but this was the first time she learned Corinne stayed in the same place as well.

Generally, a woman would need more space than a man since they needed to store their clothes, accessories, makeup, and many other things. A man could usually fit all the things he needed into one bedroom.

Being a woman herself, Annie found it understandable that Xante and Corinne would not want others to go into their rooms without permission.

Aaron helped Annie open her Coke bottle before passing it back to her. “Just chill. I’m not going to do anything to you.” Annie gradually relaxed. She was not really worried that Aaron would do anything to her; she just did not want to embarrass herself in front of him.

Not knowing what to say, she drank her drink.

Aaron sat some distance away from her and drank his beer. “Why did you follow us here if you didn’t want to see me?” Annie allowed the taste of her drink to roll in her mouth a little before answering, “I want Corinne to keep being my aunt. I came to persuade her to stay with Uncle Jeremy.” Aaron smiled. “You really like her that much, huh?” Annie looked seriously at him. “Of course! Don’t you? I mean, she’s the kindest person I’ve ever met…” Aaron’s smile deepened. “Of course, I like her too. But she’s not going to be your aunt anymore.” “Why not?” asked Annie in frustration. “Doesn’t she love Uncle Jeremy anymore? They seemed so happy together, though.” Aaron shrugged. “As happy as they were together, they’re just something that one partner cannot forgive the other for doing. I know her the best, so believe me when I say they’re never going to get back together.” Annie did not understand where he was coming from. “What are you talking about? What did Uncle Jeremy do that made Corinne refuse to get back with him?” Aaron did not feel like it was his place to tell her things about Corinne, so he smiled and tried to change the topic. “In any case, she’s not going to your aunt anymore. If you want to see her, you can be my girlfriend. You’ll be able to see her every day! Of course, you have to call her what I call her, and that is ‘Boss’.” Annie looked at him in shock, and she then blushed. “Mister Aaron, I wish you’d stop joking like this. Otherwise, I’m…” “What are you going to do? Slap me again?” said Aaron with a scoff. “Do you know you’re the only person who dares to slap me? Everyone knows the boss will twist off the head of anyone who dares to hit me!” Annie blushed even more. “Why do you call her ‘Boss’, anyway? How did you two meet?” “Do you really want to know?” “Yeah, I do. Tell me.” “Then you be my girlfriend first. We don’t tell outsiders our stories. What do you say?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1238-“Mister Aaron, please stop joking like this!” Annie was annoyed at Aaron for not taking things seriously.

Aaron stopped smiling and looked deeply into her eyes. “I’m not joking. I’m being serious.” Annie could hear her heart thumping very loudly. She did not believe him. In fact, she felt like he was playing with her feelings. “Even if you’re serious, it’s too late ’cause I already have a boyfriend.” Aaron passed her his phone. “That can be easily taken care of. You just need to call him and break up with him.”

Annie was shocked. She shot up from the bed and growled, “Is this how you see a relationship? That you can break up with someone just like that? You might not respect Marcus, but I do! He’s very good to me, so I’m never going to break up with him.” “Do you like him, though?” asked Aaron with a smirk.

Annie’s eyes flashed. “Of course I do! I mean, why would I agree to be with him if I don’t?” Aaron smiled. “No. You don’t like him.” It was like Aaron had seen right through her. She frowned and said, “You don’t speak for me! Who do I like, if not my own boyfriend?” Aaron stood up and leaned down on her. “You…like…me.” Annie’s eyes darted to the window anxiously. “I… I… Fine! It’s true. You’re the guy that I like! But what’s the point? You don’t like me at all, so you can’t expect me to keep pining for you, right? What’s so wrong with wanting to move on with another guy who treats me well?” “No! You can’t do that.” Aaron put both of his hands on the closet, effectively trapping Annie between his arms so that she had no choice but to look at him.

“Why not? Who are you to tell me what to do? I don’t work for you anymore.” Aaron leaned down closer to her. “Because I’ve realized that I actually quite like you. Why would you be with another man when we can be together?” Annie was stunned. She thought she had heard wrong. ‘Did he just say he likes me? Is this…a confession? No, Annie! Wake up! He’s a serial flirter, remember?

He’ll hump anything that moves!’ With that thought in mind, Annie looked boldly into his eyes and said, “Mister Aaron, I’m afraid I can’t agree to be your girlfriend. There’s no guarantee you won’t cheat on me.” Aaron smiled, half-closed his eyes, and whispered into her ear seductively, “You should know you’re the first girl I’ve ever confessed my feelings to. Are you sure you’re going to reject me?” ‘Ha! Only a fool would believe him!’ She recalled all the different women who came out of his office with their clothes and hair all messed up. She would never believe him!

Annie shook her head to clear her mind. “Mister Aaron, are you saying all this because you can’t stand seeing me with someone else? So you want to see if you can get me back to prove you’re still as charming as ever? If that’s the case, I suggest you let me go. I’m not the kind of girl who can fall head over heels just to be dumped in the end.” Aaron knew he himself had done a lot of hurtful things in the past. He buried his head into her shoulder and said coquettishly, “I’m being very serious…” Annie’s heart started to tremble. ‘What… What is he trying to pull here?’ Even though she told herself not to give in to him, she still found herself unable to hold herself back. ‘Sh*t… I don’t think I can hold on anymore.’ “Uh… Mister Aaron, I…” “Shh… Don’t say anything until you’ve heard what I have to say,” said Aaron raspily. He kept her trapped between his arms.

The reason he buried his head into her shoulder was that he did not dare to face her after doing so many hurtful things to her in the past

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1239-“I used to think you were no one special to me. I thought you were just one of the many girls who liked me because of my looks or money. But I can’t help but feel like something’s missing in my life after you stopped coming to work. I kept imagining you sitting at your desk, bringing me coffee, or… Well, you get the point.

“So imagine my surprise when I found myself jealous of Marcus after you two got together. How can you treat another man like how you used to treat me? I couldn’t stand it! I couldn’t stand seeing you being nice to another man. I can’t!” Annie was starting to get confused. ‘What is he doing? Is he trying to play the pity card?’

“Umm… Mister Aaron…” Aaron rubbed his face against her shoulder. “So what do you say? Be my girlfriend? I promise I won’t flirt with any other woman if you agree to be my girlfriend. I’ll only have eyes for you. So, please, please, please give me a chance.” Annie’s breathing grew labored. Her brain told her she would only end up getting hurt if she agreed to be his girlfriend, but her heart… “No, Mister Aaron. What I want is a stable relationship and a simple life. While I admit that I still have feelings for you, I’m afraid we’re not that compatible. It was naive of me to think I could change you with my love, but now I know that I can’t.

“You say you like me now, but you’ve been living a carefree life since you were young. How long do you think you can stay off other women? A year? Half a year? Three months? In any case, I don’t think I can take it if you abandon me again while you go around having affairs with other women. So…let’s just forget it.” Annie felt Aaron’s body tense up when she said the last sentence.

“Are you seriously not going to consider it any further?” he asked.

Annie was not that resolute herself since Aaron was the man she was so madly in love with before.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door interrupted their conversation.

Aaron straightened himself and went over to open the door.

Corinne stood outside looking coldly at him.

“Hey, Boss. What’s up?” asked Aaron with his signature smile.

Corinne glanced inside the room. “Don’t you dare do anything to Annie. Give her a ride back later.” “You got it, Boss,” answered Aaron with a nod.

Annie snapped out of her trance and walked over to them. “Corinne, I don’t want to go…” Corinne’s eyes turned cold. “And why not?” A chill ran up Annie’s spine. “B—Because I have a lot of things to talk to you about. I mean, we haven’t seen each other for so long… So can I stay here for the night?” Corinne did not even need to ask to know what Annie wanted to talk to her about.

Not wanting to hear anything about Jeremy, Corinne said, “We can talk tomorrow. I’m not in the mood to do anything today, so you should go home.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1233-Corinne walked around Pamela to exit the restaurant.

“Corinne…” Pamela tried to stop her again, obviously worried about her.

“Let her go,” said Jeremy emotionlessly.

Stunned, Pamela turned to look at Jeremy with a frown.

Corinne paused for a second before walking out of the restaurant without turning back.

Francine quickly chased after her. “Corinne! Wait!” Corinne could not walk fast since she was eight months pregnant, so even though she did not stop, Francine managed to easily catch up to her.

Francine stood in front of her with her arms spread. “Corinne, how can you talk to Grandma like that?” she asked angrily. “Do you have any idea how worried she was about you?” Corinne smiled. “Was she worried about me or the baby?” Francine frowned. “Both, of course!” Corinne chuckled softly. “Oh, please! Do you think I was just born yesterday?

Why don’t you go back to Miss Pamela?” She then walked around Francine, wanting to leave as fast as possible.

“No! Corinne, don’t go!” Francine walked with her. She was not going to give up easily, but no matter what she said, Corinne remained unmoved. In the end, she grabbed her elbow and said, “Please stay! You’re my sister-in-law!” Corinne stopped walking. Annoyed, she looked at Francine coldly. “You’re wrong. Your real sister-in-law is in the restaurant with your brother.” Francine was taken aback.

“Do you mean Sophia? I’m never going to accept her as my sister-in-law.

Corinne, there must be some misunderstanding. Nothing is going on between Sophia and Jeremy!” Corinne pulled back her elbow. “Nothing is going on, you say? How can you say that when the two of them are legally married to each other?” This was the first time Francine learned of the news. “What?! When did that happen? How… How come I’ve never heard of it?” she sputtered.

Corinne did not even bother to analyze whether Francine was putting up an act.

“Why don’t you go ask them?” Francine stood still, worried that Corinne would escape if she went back to the restaurant.

“Corinne, I don’t even know they’re married!” she shouted. “Even if you don’t care about Jeremy anymore, you should still care about Joey! That kid has been shutting himself up in his room ever since you left! He wouldn’t talk to Jeremy, me, or anyone else! Do you have the heart to abandon him like that?” ‘Oh, Joey. That poor kid…’ thought Corinne. She really pitied and liked him.

However, as much as she was worried about him, she could not let herself be dragged back to the Holdens’ mansion because of him.

After a minute of silence, Corinne calmly said, “It sounds like he’s experiencing some psychological problems, but I’m not a psychologist, so I can’t help him.

You should get him to see a psychologist as soon as possible.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1240-After that, Corinne went back to her room.Annie looked down sadly. ‘Seems like Corinne is going to break up with Uncle Jeremy, after all.’ “You can stay in my room tonight if you want,” said Aaron with a smirk.Annie looked up at him and could not help but chuckle wryly when she recalled their conversation from moments before. “Thanks, but I’d prefer sleeping in the living room.” Even if Corinne did not want to talk to her, Annie insisted on staying as she wanted to keep an eye on her for Jeremy. ‘What if Corinne disappeared again like last time?’ she thought.Aaron smiled. It seemed like he had forgotten about the rejection. “So you’re sure you’re staying tonight, huh? Good. You can cook dinner, then. I want to taste your cooking.” Annie turned red in the face and looked at him in disbelief. “But I’m the guest here! How can you ask the guest to cook for you?” Aaron shrugged and smirked, making Annie want to punch him in the face.“Well, it’s not like I have a choice since I don’t know how to cook. Plus, it’ll be unhealthy to order takeout for Corinne. So what do you say? Are you willing to sacrifice a little for your aunt’s sake?” Annie was speechless. ‘D*mn this prick!’ … Meanwhile, at the emergency ward.The nurse had wrapped a bandage around Sophia’s forehead and told her to make sure to keep the bandage dry.Sophia nodded to show she understood before getting up and walking out of the emergency ward. Outside, Jeremy was talking on the phone with a serious expression on his face.‘It must be a call about work,’ thought Sophia. She waited quietly for him to hang up the phone before walking to him.“Jeremy, the nurse said I’m fine, so you can go back to work if you want. There must be a lot of things you need to take care of since the company just moved to the new building.” Jeremy glanced at her bandaged forehead. He then put away his phone and lifted his chin lightly. “It’s fine. Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride back to your hotel.” Sophia had been staying at the hotel for the past six months.Jeremy did not give her a chance to say anything before shoving his hands into his pockets and walking off.Sophia stared at his back dazedly, but she quickly shook her head and followed after him.“Jeremy, I think you should go check on Corinne. She’s probably still mad at you right now,” said Sophia worriedly.Jeremy’s face instantly darkened at the mention of Corinne’s name.“I’m really sorry… The two of you finally got to see each other after six months, yet I made you two fight,” said Sophia. “Hey, how about this? You take me with you to see her, and I’ll explain that there’s nothing going on between us. What do you say?” Jeremy scoffed and kept walking. “Do you think she’ll care about that?” Sophia was a little taken aback. “Are you saying she doesn’t care about you anymore? But she’s carrying your baby, right? How can she not care about her baby’s daddy?” Jeremy’s face darkened even more at the mention of the baby. ‘Not only does that little rascal not care about me, but she wishes so much that I won’t have anything to do with the baby!’ It was obvious from what Corinne told him in the restaurant that she had no intention of letting him be involved in the baby’s life.Jeremy got into the driver’s seat while Sophia took the front passenger seat.
