Ch. 161..170

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 161-Jeremy’s eyes darkened even more when he thought of how he would lose the right to control her in another two months and seven days. She would then be able to have a relationship with other men and be intimate with them.

‘Out of the question he thought to himself.

Corinne could not break free after he pressed her against the door, making her feel both flustered and angry After waiting for a long time for the man to say something, she became a little impatient and said with a frown, “If you have something to say to me, could you at least get your hands off me? I’m leaving if you have nothing else to s-mgh!'”

The man leaned over suddenly, and he parted her thin lips with his tongue while dominating her mouth with his lips.

Corinne’s mind went blank, and she widened her eyes to confirm whether that was actually happening.

Jeremy’s handsome face was millimeters away from hers, and he was kissing her forcefully and aggressively.

‘What’s going on? When Corinne finally came to her senses, she felt offended and annoyed. She raised her hands and pushed against the man’s chest, but rather than succeed in pushing him away, he began to kiss her ever more passionately as he wrapped one hand around her waist while clasping the back of her head with his other hand.

He was skilled at kissing, and his charm was truly top-notch. Slowly but surely, she became a little muddle-headed and reciprocated uneasily as her small hands clutched his suit lapels.

Sometime later, their lips finally parted ways, and they stared briefly at each other. Both of them were panting slightly, and their breaths were all tangled together.

Jeremy saw how she looked as frightened as a deer in headlights and felt rather amused by how pitiful she looked. A slight smile appeared on his face, and his big hand rubbed her hair in a bullying manner as he said in a stern voice, “Don’t call other men.” Corinne blushed, and it was hard to tell whether she was blushing from anger or shame. She took a step back to avoid being touched and raised her arm to wipe her mouth. Her tone was resentful as she said, “I get it, okay? You didn’t need to do that to warn me!” “You’re still not allowed to call other men once the three months are up,” Jeremy added, and his tone was inexplicably gentle then.

Corinne’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at him in surprise. “Why not?” The man looked closely at her blushing face and leaned over again while saying in a low voice.” Because…” At this time, Tommy’s stern voice was heard outside the stairwell door. “You can’t go in there, Miss Sherlyn!” Sherlyn’s voice was soon heard too. “Are you standing in front of that door because Mister Jeremy is inside this stairwell? The food has been served, so why is Mister Jeremy alone in the stairwell instead of coming back to the table for lunch? The food is going to go cold!” Tommy replied, “You should go back to the table now, Miss Sherlyn. Mister Jeremy will join you soon.” Sherlyn refused to listen to his advice. “What could he be doing in the stairwell?

Stop standing in my way! I want to go in there and see him!” “I’m sorry, but he doesn’t want to see you right now.” “And how do you know that he doesn’t want to see me? You’re just a secretary, so who gave you the right to speak on behalf of him? Why would he refuse to see me if he agreed to have lunch. with me? Move aside! I’m going in to check on Mister Jeremy!” “Miss Sherlyn, please…” Sherlyn seemed suspicious after sensing there was movement on the other side of the door, and she was adamant about forcing her way in.

Corinne realized that something was wrong, and her first instinct was to run downstairs. After all, it would be a pain to explain it to Sherlyn if she was caught with Jeremy.

As soon as Corinne took one step, however, Jeremy grabbed her wrist again and asked, “Where are you going?” Corinne turned around helplessly and stared at Jeremy with an unhappy frown.

“Don’t forget your promise that you won’t let my sister know about our relationship!” Jeremy did not let go of Corinne, but the door of the stairwell was already pushed open by Sherlyn.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 162-Since Corinne could not pull Jeremy’s big hand off of her, she raised her other hand in a hurry and slammed the door shut.

Tommy was using his body to block the door to the stairwell, but Sherlyn turned violent and tried to push the door open with the use of the small gap.

The more she was prevented from entering, the more she felt that something about the entire situation was amiss. She had to go in and see what Jeremy was doing inside, and whether he was alone or if there was someone in there with him.

Tommy could not stand Sherlyn’s antics any longer and warned her angrily, “Miss Sherlyn, I hope you don’t blame me for having to take action if you continue to try and force yourself through the door!” Sherlyn did not take Tommy’s threat seriously at all. From her point of view, Jeremy’s secretary was just a lowly role like that of her assistant. Since she never took her assistant seriously, it stood to reason that she viewed Jeremy’s secretary in a similarly condescending light. “Who are you to show your authority to me when you’re just a secretary? Once I make Jeremy mine, the first thing I’ll do is get him to fire you!” “Try it, then! If you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll start yelling that you’re molesting me!” “You…” Tommy had nothing to say when faced with Sherlyn’s shamelessness.

There was no point in reasoning with an unreasonable woman like her.

When Sherlyn realized that her threat was working on Tommy, she immediately had the idea of deliberately rubbing her body against Tommy and pushing her chest out to force him to retreat.

Tommy could not avoid her and felt extremely uneasy over what was happening.

He had no way of dealing with such a dirty trick, and he could not bring himself to hit her either. As Tommy was trying to avoid her, she seized the opportunity to push the door and force in.

After entering, she was stunned by what she saw.

Jeremy’s tall body was leaning lazily against the wall of the stairwell, and his majestic expression seemed a little bored and fatigued. He had a freshly lit cigarette between his slender fingers, which he brought to his mouth to take a puff before exhaling a thin wisp of smoke.

Sherlyn was extremely captivated by the man’s mature and handsome side profile as he smoked, and it took her a while to recover from her mesmerized expression and say, why are you here all alone? Won’t you come back to the table for lunch?” Jeremy raised his eyebrows and glanced calmly at her. “I have a nicotine addiction.” Mister Jeremy, Sherlyn smiled, “I see… Well, do come and have lunch once you’re done with that cigarette. Otherwise, the food will go cold.” Jeremy flicked the ash from his cigarette and said indifferently, “You can go back on your own.” Chap 15, Even his small action of flicking the cigarette ash was so handsome that it made one’s heart quiver. Sherlyn tried not to show the nympho side of her and said with a gentle, considerate expression, “It’s fine. I can wait for you and we can go back together. I wouldn’t want to eat before you!” “I don’t mind you eating first,” the man said coldly.

Sherlyn thought that Jeremy was worried about her getting hungry, so she shook her head shyly and said, “I’m not hungry yet, though! I can always wait for you!” An irritable expression appeared briefly in Jeremy’s eyes, and he frowned before stubbing out the remaining half of the cigarette. His body then straightened and he strode toward the door, saying, “Let’s go back to our table, then.” Sherlyn was stunned, and she felt her heart thump wildly. ‘Oh, God! Mister Jeremy is willing to stop smoking just so I won’t get hungry!!

She had been so preoccupied with making such wild assumptions that she paid little attention to everything else, and the angle at which she stood precluded her from seeing the fresh palm print on the left side of Jeremy’s face.

After Sherlyn followed Jeremy out of the stairwell, Tommy closed the door of the stairwell.

At that moment, Corinne was sitting on the flight of stairs one floor below, and her palms were burning with pain.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 163-In her moment of desperation, Corinne slapped the man in the face just so she could escape. As soon as she heard that everyone had left, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, her phone rang once more, and it was yet another call from Aaron.

Corinne frowned as she answered it.

Aaron’s voice sounded dramatic as if he had been possessed by the spirit of a dead actor. “Miss Corinne! Is that you? A man told me that you’re married, but I won’t believe anything he says! Tell me it isn’t true, Miss Corinne, I—*

“Give that charade of yours a break!” Corinne interrupted angrily. “It’s me!” There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Aaron soon reverted to his usual tone. With a smile, he asked, “How’s it going, boss?” “How’s what going?” “Did you and Jeremy get closer? Was he jealous earlier?” Corinne finally understood what Aaron was up to and warned him sternly, “Please don’t do such pointless things again in the future! As I’ve said before, Jeremy’s relationship with me lasts only three months, and that’s all there is to it.” Despite emphatically making that remark, her heart had sunk into the depths of utter turmoil. She could not forget what Jeremy did to her earlier, at least not so soon.

Nevertheless, it was not the first time the two of them have kissed. The first time was when she grabbed him and gave him a peck to spite the disgusting man her stepmother had arranged for her to meet.

The second time was in Twilight’s Snow Room. She played a game with some playboys to save Annie from them. When she lost, she was punished to kiss someone of the opposite gender whom she knew. Jeremy forbade her from kissing anyone else lest it gave everyone the impression that she had cucked him, so he decided to kiss her instead.

The third time was earlier at the stairwell, and there was neither any accident nor any external interference. He just somehow decided to kiss her for no reason.

He made it abundantly clear in the past that he would not hesitate to give her anything as long as it did not involve feelings. ‘Who does he think I am when he kissed me on a whim without involving any feelings? D*mn him!’ Corinne then wiped her mouth in disgust and felt annoyed.

On the other end of the line, Aaron clicked his tongue and said, “You know, I think Jeremy isn’t too bad, actually. He might be a bit older, but that doesn’t stop him from being handsome! Besides, he has a high IQ and is incredibly influential too. Plus, he doesn’t have any scandals like some of those other rich men, so why don’t you turn this sham marriage into a real one and-” Corinne could not stand to listen to Aaron’s ramblings anymore. “Enough with that nonsense! He has someone he likes, and I’m not interested in getting involved!” 27 Aaron was taken aback for a moment and immediately became upset. “D*mn.

So, he’s a scumbag!

Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Whether he’s a scumbag or not is none of our concern! I have another two months and seven days left, and it’ll pass soon enough. He and I will be strangers by the end of that. And by the way, you called at just the right time! I have something I need you to help me. with.” Aaron became serious when it came to business matters. “Understood. Let me know how I can help.” Corinne then explained her arrangements to him.

Aaron accepted his duties and said, “Understood, boss! I’ll get it done soon.” As soon as the call ended, Corinne barely had any time to catch her breath when Sherlyn’s call came in. When she answered, Sherlyn’s sharp and hostile voice yelled, “What the hell is wrong with you, Corinne? Why is your phone unreachable during working hours?!” Corinne rubbed her temples wearily. Her lips twitched and she said, “A friend of mine called, so we chatted for a while. What is it? Is there anything you need me to do?” Sherlyn roared resentfully. “Who told you to answer personal calls during working hours? Get your butt over here right this instant, Corinne!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 164-Corinne had no idea what was it that stoked Sherlyn’s rage, but she answered curtly and hung up before going back to their table.

There were few patrons in such a high-end restaurant, and the table Sherlyn reserved was next to the floor-to-ceiling windows where one could enjoy the river view outside while dining. It was an expensive seat, but one with the lowest minimum spend.

She had to grit her teeth when doing so because it was all for the sake of leaving a good impression in front of Jeremy and pretending as if she had the financial means to do so.

On normal occasions, she would never be willing to spend all that money to reserve that table, and she was particularly angry because she had spent a huge surn on the table and even ordered the most expensive dish, only to have the man leave without eating a single bite!

At that moment, Corinne walked over from a distance and saw Sherlyn sulking by the window. She folded her arms across her chest in resentment and seemed to be in a blaring rage. Corinne was the only one at the table, and Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.

In fact, Corinne had already expected that outcome since Sherlyn would never talk to her in such a tone in front of Jeremy.

“Why did you call me to come back here, Sherlyn?” When Sherlyn heard her voice, she immediately turned around and glared angrily as she asked, ” Did you do it on purpose, Corinne?” Corinne looked puzzled. “Do what on purpose?” “Ignore my calls on purpose!” Sherlyn gritted her teeth angrily. “Mister Jeremy thought that you weren’t sincere in apologizing to him because you weren’t with us at the table, so he left without eating a single!” Corinne frowned helplessly. “If I remember correctly, didn’t you instruct me to pretend as if I had diarrhea because you didn’t want me around?” Sherlyn’s face froze, but she showed not a single ounce of restraint despite knowing that it had been her mistake. Instead, her attitude worsened after her contradiction had been pointed out, and she raised her finger angrily to shout at Corinne. “When Mister Jeremy expressed his unhappiness, I immediately decided to call you to come back. He left in anger because I couldn’t get through to you! If you answered my call at the time and came back to apologize to him, he wouldn’t have left in the first place! This is all your fault, Corinne! Bad luck follows you wherever you go!” Corinne was speechless and her lips twitched. ‘I can’t believe she blamed me when she was the one who couldn’t get him to stay!

Sherlyn was already unhappy after spending a lot of money to reserve a table at The Wild Bites. and she became even more upset when she saw Corinne standing in front of her with an ‘it’s-none- of-my-business’ attitude. She then added, “I don’t care! If you can’t get Mister Jeremy to have a meal with me today, I’ll fine you the price of this meal!” Corinne spread her palms helplessly. “But I don’t have any money.” Sherlyn glared at Corinne in disgust and loathed the latter for having the unsightly attitude of a poor person. However, it was Corinne’s poorness that bolstered Sherlyn’s sense of superiority. and she said in disdain, “No money, you say? How about you return the salary I advanced to you?” Although Sherlyn knew that Corinne was a country bumpkin who had no money, she had already incurred a huge loss for the meal, and she demanded the return of Corinne’s salary because that would at least allow her to make up for the loss she suffered.

Corinne, however, shook her head in apparent refusal. “There’s no reason for you to deduct my salary when I didn’t do anything wrong.” Her refusal made Sherlyn even angrier. “You have the nerve to say you did nothing wrong? You scalded Mister Jeremy, and he left earlier because of you! If you still think you didn’t do anything. wrong, why don’t you give Dad a call and ask for his opinion?” Corinne lowered her head and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, but she put on a frightened look and said, “Don’t call Dad. I’ll think of a way…” Sherlyn rolled her eyes. “Tch! Do you honestly think you can come up with a way? Don’t try to pull any funny business. Return your salary to me right now!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 165-Corinne took out her cell phone and said, “Mister Jeremy probably hasn’t gone far. I’ll call his secretary and see if I can ask him to come back.” Sherlyn was taken aback for a moment, and her guard was up What? Why would you have his secretary’s number?” Corinne had a calm expression as she casually said, “Oh, I happened to meet his secretary when I I went out of the restroom, so I chatted with him for a while and asked if he could leave his phone with me.”

“Why did you ask him for his number for no good reason? Are you going to try and seduce him again?” Sherlyn remarked bitterly and sarcastically 1 Corinne shook his head earnestly wasn’t going to seduce anyone it’s just Fm your assistant now and since you’re paying me such a high salary, it’s only right for me to do my job I thought of I son sol ed him for his contact information in some resources for your work Dad also told ho there ar could me this morning to be more grateful to you and help as much as I can with your work.” Sherlyn stared at Connne suspiciously before snorting coldly with disdain.

“Good to know that you’re more aware now! What are you waiting for, then?

Give his secretary a call! I’m curious to see if you can get Mister Jerectly to come back here?” Til try my best Corinne lowered her eyes, turned around, and dialed the number The call was soon connected and Tommy said respectfully. “What’s the matter Miss Corinne 7 Corne then asked politely Mister Tommy could you tell Mister Jeremy that I was wrong to do what I did and d like him to come back here and have lunch?

Tommy was not accustomed to hearing Connne speak to him in such a polite manner, and he was stunned for a moment. He then replied. Tm sorry Miss Corinne, but Mister Jeremy is heading back to the company for a meeting right now and Im afraid he wont be able to have lunch I Conne sighed regretfully see Sherlyn stared at Corinne and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation, but unfortunately, the volume was too low, and the could not hear the person on the other end of the line Connne thought for a while and then said “W he be free tonight, then? Id like to show my sincerity by personally cooking for him as a show of apology Can you ask him if he’ll give me another chance?

Tommy hesitated “Umm Okay hold on for a bit. Let me ask him Corinne nodded Sure, go ahead” The black Mercedes Benz was driving at a constant speed on the road, and Tommy turned his head from the front passenger seat to look at Jeremy sitting behind.

2/2 A palm print that resulted from a slap could vaguely be seen on the man’s cheek, and his handsome face was as cold as ever. There was a gloominess in his expression, and he leaned his head back on the chair while closing his eyes to rest. As always, his thoughts remained an enigma.

There was one thing Tommy could be sure of though-Jeremy was in a particularly bad mood at that moment.

Tommy said cautiously. “Sir, Miss Corinne just called to ask if you’d be interested to have dinner together with her. She said that she was wrong for doing what she did to you earlier, and she wanted to apologize to you by cooking a meal for you. She asks whether you’d have time tonight.” After hearing her name and recalling the slap she gave him, Jeremy frowned in annoyance and did not even bother opening his eyes. He merely opened his lips and said coldly, “No.” Tommy had no choice but to turn and answer the phone. “Miss Corinne, he says he’s=” The man in the rear passenger seat glanced up all of a sudden and said in a deep voice, “Ask her for the time and place.” Tommy’s words were interrupted, and he paused briefly before saying, Right!” After discussing the time and place with Corinne on the phone, Tommy hung up the phone and turned his head to report to Jeremy. “Sir, she said that dinner will be at eight o’clock tonight in room eight-o-eight of the Moonlight Hotel.” Jeremy’s handsome eyes narrowed slightly. ‘She invited me…to have dinner in a hotel?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 166-Elsewhere… After Corinne set a time and place with Tommy, she hung up the phone and pulled the chair to sit. She was famished, and she really needed to eat.

The place Corinne told Tommy about was actually set by Sherlyn.

When Corinne was on the phone with Tommy, Sherlyn came over and placed her ear next to the phone to listen. Once she knew Jeremy agreed to the dinner invitation, she quickly told Corinne to set the dinner in the hotel. Corinne did not have a problem with that, so she told Tommy according to what Sherlyn said.

Corinne had just picked up the cutleries to eat when Sherlyn grabbed them.

“Stand up! Who gave you permission to sit and eat?” Corinne’s brow furrowed. “Sherlyn, I’ve fixed the problem. I should be able to eat something.” Sherlyn gave her a disdainful look. “What problem did you fix? Mister Jeremy didn’t come back to eat lunch with me, did he? Although you’ve arranged for dinner to happen, you didn’t compensate for the loss I spent on this meal!” Corinne looked at the table full of food and said, “But you’ve ordered the food.

I’m sure you can’t finish it by yourself.” Sherlyn did not care. “I can bring them all home if I can’t finish them. It’s not going to be your turn to eat them. Do you think you’re worthy to eat expensive dishes from The Wild Bites? Do you even know how to savor these gourmets?

The Wild Bites will think you degraded them if they know their food is going to be eaten by a country bumpkin!” Corinne sneered coldly and stood up. “Fine, then I’ll get going.” With an angry stare, Sherlyn growled, “Go? Where?” “I’ve taken the rest of the day off. Didn’t you agree to it? I’m going back home to rest now!” “That was then, and now I’m disallowing you. Corinne Carew, you… Stop right there! Corinne Carew!” Sherlyn was so infuriated that she was about to go stop Corinne from leaving when Corinne did not stop as she commanded. At that moment, however, her phone rang. It was her mother.

She did not have the time to care about Corinne.

“Hello? Mom…” On the other side of the phone, Lilliana asked anxiously, “Sherlyn, how did your ambassador deal with Newmoon Group go?” While staring in the direction where Corinne left, Sherlyn answered, “It’s almost a done deal, but I have another problem now. Mom, come to The Wild Bites. I ordered a whole table of food, and I can’t finish them alone!” “The Wild Bites? Why are you eating in such an expensive place?” “Ugh! It’s all Corinne’s fault! Come here, and I’ll tell you about it. Don’t let Daddy know!” Sherlyn explained.

“Alright, wait for me. I’m coming now!” Lilliana said.

20 minutes later, Lilliana arrived at The Wild Bites.

“Sherlyn, what happened? Tell me now!” she asked anxiously straight after she sat.

For the next couple of minutes, Sherlyn told her mother everything that happened from when she met Jeremy, to the dinner date she would have with Jeremy in the hotel on this very night.

The ecstatic Lilliana gave her support to her daughter. “You did a good job setting the meeting place in the hotel! This is your chance to become Mister Jeremy’s woman

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 167-Despite everything. Sherlyn was a little uncomfortable. “Mom, I do like Mister Jeremy, but he’s a married man. That’s why I hesitate a little. What if Lilliana, however, did not think that was a problem. “So what if he’s married?

Remember how I stole your father from his wife, and look how far I came. If his wife can’t keep her man, then shame on her. Everyone has the chance to fight!

Sherlyn, listen to me. It’s better to be Mister Jeremy’s mistress than marry an ordinary man. You have a whole life in the future, and there’s a chance for you to become his wife in the future, too!”

It sounded like solid advice, but Sherlyn was genuinely faltering. “But he’s a cold and proud person. I don’t really dare to go near him…” “He’s the young master of the first-tier family, a man who has had power over everything since he was a child. It’s normal to have that kind of personality.

Don’t worry. After we finished eating, I’m going to bring you to buy something good!” Lilliana tried to convince her daughter.

“What is it?” Sherlyn asked.

“You’ll know later!” said Lilliana, intending to keep her idea a secret until they finished their meal.

Despite her mother being mysterious. Sherlyn trusted her. Her mother was always a person with many tricks up her sleeve, and she reckoned her mother must have thought of a good idea for her After both of them finished eating in The Wild Bites, Lilliana brought Sherlyn to the market.

Even with a hat and a pair of sunglasses on, Sherlyn was unable to cover how disgusted she felt. It was not a place suitable for a celebrity like her.

“Mom, why did you bring me here?” Lilliana smiled cynically. “Aren’t you going to cook for Mister Jeremy tonight?

You have to buy the ingredients now.” “You know I don’t know how to cook,” grunted Sherlyn. Tll just order some food and pretend I cook them!” Lilliana pulled her daughter to a quiet corner and lectured her softly. “You don’t know anything! I’m going to buy a special mushroom called cordyceps. It’s going to taste delicious when cooked with fennel. Most importantly, those two ingredients can enhance aphrodisiac activity in men. Once Mister Jeremy eats them, he’s not going to be able to hold himself. I’ll go to the hotel and cook for you tonight. After tonight, you’re going to be Mister Jeremy’s woman!” Sherlyn’s cheeks turned rosy red as she excitedly looked at the vegetable and cordyceps in the bag, thinking her mother was a genius to come up with this idea.

At the same time, Corinne took a taxi to go back to the Holdens’ estate. When she was about to enter, a white can drove up to her.

The driver rolled down the window and waved at her. “Hey, Miss. Do you know which one is the Holdens’ estate?” Corinne stood still and looked at the fat driver with sunglasses. “Why are you looking for the Holdens’ estate?” The driver giggled sillily. “I’m here to deliver what they ordered from me, but they didn’t give me a detailed address. I only know it’s somewhere around here, but I don’t know which one.” Corinne raised her brow alertly. “And what thing is this that you want to deliver?” *Just some groceries, vegetables, and fruits. They’re at the back of my car,” the driver explained. cheerfully and used his thumb to point to the back.

Corinne looked over the back of the car… Suddenly, the back door of the van opened, and a man with his face covered by a mask appeared and used a spray mist to spray on Corinne’s face. Instantly, Corinne passed out.

Before she fell to the ground, she was pulled into the car by the man.

He closed the door, and the van drove away quickly to flee the scene.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 168-It was 8 p.m., and Jeremy arrived at Moonlight Hotel.

When he got to the front desk, the receptionist gave him a key card to Room 808 and stated the female customer had arranged it earlier.

Arriving at Room 808, Jeremy used the key card to enter.

It was a suite with a lavish interior design. He spotted no one in the room, but he could make out the sound of water running in the bathroom.

He walked past the bathroom and glanced into it with his dark eyes. There, he could see the silhouette of a woman having a shower through the engraved

glass door.

His pupils shrunk. He pursed his lips while his subconscious told him to look away.

It was then he noticed there were six steaming hot dishes with one soup on the dining table.

Did the little rascal cook these for him? He once heard about the butler mentioning how Corinne would sometimes make some snacks for herself to eat at home. Could the brat, who looked spoiled, know how to cook after all?

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and saw a note beside the plate.

[Dearest Mister Jeremy, please feel free to dig in if you’re here. Don’t wait for me. The food tastes. better when it’s hot. I’m going to take a shower to freshen up after the cooking I did just now.

Dearest?

Jeremy raised his brow. Unknowingly, his lips curled up.

What a rare occasion it was. Corinne never cared about her look or manner when she was with him, yet she cared about getting rid of the smell from the cooking when she invited him to dinner.

She even had the dinner set up at the room table. What was she thinking?

A smirk appeared on his face as he pulled the chair and sat elegantly. Using the cutleries set up nicely, he reached for the dishes and tried them. They tasted fine-nothing too spectacular but nothing terrible either.

These dishes could never compare to the food he had a professional chef prepare for him every day. It was the thought that counted, however, and these dishes did have a distinct taste to them.

After tasting some of the food, he put down the cutleries and pinched his glabella. He looked exhausted, and it looked as though was caught in ambivalence.

Since his early years, he had been busy with his family business. He had no time to engage in a relationship and was always an indifferent person, so he never had any interest in any woman.

Corinne appeared in his life roughly 20 days ago. At first, he only wanted to find a woman to help. him meet his grandfather’s wishes, yet he kept thinking of her amid his busy schedule. Her smile, the way she frowned when she was angry, and how she managed to irritate him every time….. These traits of hers warmed his heart.

He withdrew a tissue and wiped his mouth. The affectionate kiss from this afternoon reappeared. in his mind, and so did the thing she said angrily. “But you are still a man!” He admitted he was distraught at that moment, and he just could not help himself.

Maybe he should reconsider his relationship with the little rascal.

Just then, the bathroom door opened.

Sherlyn walked out with a towel wrapped around her body Even though she knew Jeremy was there, she pretended to look surprised and abashed while grabbing her towel tightly “Oh! Mister Jeremy, you’re here. I didn’t know that 1-1 forgot to take my clothes into the bathroom just now…” Jeremy furrowed his brow. “It’s you?” Sherlyn was stunned. “Umm… I was the one who invited you to have dinner here. Who else can it be?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes as his gaze burned. “Corinne. Where is your assistant?” “Oh, you’re asking about her… Mister Jeremy, I’m so sorry. My assistant used to live in the country. She has a weird personality and is lacking experience. I hold great responsibility too when she accidentally spilled tea on you yesterday. I shouldn’t have hired such a lousy person to be my assistant. I’m truly sorry. I’ll fire her later!” She then slowly walked toward him, carefully swinging her hips seductively as though unintended. but she tripped over. Her towel fell and so did she, yet she managed to pose in a very sexy position.

“Ah!” she whimpered. “Mister Jeremy, please, can you come and help me stand? My leg hurts…” Jeremy got up on his feet and walked toward the naked Sherlyn…

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 169-Jeremy’s footsteps were closing in, and Sherlyn’s heart pounded heavily with the sound of the footsteps.

‘He’s coming, the man of my dreams. My future is coming to hold me in his arms” Nevertheless, her hope perished.

Jeremy walked past her without batting an eye her way as he headed straight to the door. He did not even bother to look down.

Sherlyn froze. She extended her hand out and cried out with pity, “M-Mister Jeremy? Mister Jeremy? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? Don’t go, Mister Jeremy! My leg hurts… Help me.” Jeremy did not bother and swiftly left.

Sherlyn stood up and wanted to chase after him, yet she was naked and was at an inconvenience. It was not going to help even if she went to get her clothes.

‘What happened? This can’t be happening!’ she screamed mentally.

Lilliana had added both ingredients to each dish. She told her that it would only take a little time to take effect on men.

The cutlery on the table was not in its original position, which meant Jeremy had eaten. Why was he still so apathetic to her when he saw her body? How did he not react?

Jeremy walked out of the lift, glowering. His stormy face encompassed a terrifying coldness.

A few minutes ago, he was thinking about reconsidering his relationship with Corinne and wanted to have a talk with her.

All that, and Corinne used her sweet words to invite him to meet in the hotel. As it turned out, she was preparing for him to meet with a woman who had ill intentions for him!

‘Heh. How generous of her! She doesn’t even care if her husband, me, would cheat on her after falling into another woman’s seduction! That little rascal! Has she even thought of me as her husband at all?’ He balled his fists so tightly that his veins protruded.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated, indicating an incoming call. It was from an unknown number.

Aloofly, he accepted the call and placed the phone next to his ear.

“Jeremy Holden! Aren’t you worried your wife is not back at home yet? Why didn’t you even call her?” Jeremy stopped walking and asked, “Who are you?” “You don’t have don’t know who I am. I have your wife!” Jeremy sneered with his sullen eyes. “Is that so? Keep her, then. You can do whatever you want. with her.” The kidnapper nearly choked on his saliva. “Jeremy Holden, what’s wrong with you?! She’s your wife!” It did not startle Jeremy. “I can always change wives.” With that, he hung up the phone without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the call… The kidnapper was in a deserted warehouse out in the wild.

The kidnapper spat on the floor angrily when Jeremy hung up on him, then looked back at Corinne, who was tied down to the chair. “F*ck! I thought you were important enough to Jeremy Holden. I didn’t know you were so useless!” The conversation was on speaker mode, so Corinne could hear their conversation loud and clear.

Jeremy’s choice of words, as well as his tone, were terrifyingly indifferent.

Corinne closed her eyes. She was unsurprised by the outcome, but she was somehow disappointed. Her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.

As a matter of fact, she thought Jeremy would pay the ransom to save her. After all, he did say he would give her anything except his heart.

How ironic it was that she believed in what he said.

She was just a tool to him. Her life was not important to him at all until he was not willing to waste any time with her.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 170-With her mouth taped, Corinne widened her eyes and made noises to attract the man’s attention, wanting to speak to him.

The kidnapper, the fat man, deliberated on this before reaching out and pulling off the tape on her mouth. He initially taped her mouth out of fear that Corinne would scream for the whole city to hear. Since they were in the wilderness, however, shouting was not going to help her.

Once the tape was ripped off of Corinne’s mouth, she took a deep breath and said, “Since your know it’s useless to threaten Jeremy, why don’t you let me go?”

The fat kidnapper snorted. “Let you go? What about the work I did today? Little missy, you are quite beautiful. Why don’t we have some fun together?” Corinne chuckled. “Fun? Sure! But you have to let me go first. I don’t like being manhandled when I’m bound.” This must have been their first time having such a cooperative hostage that the fat kidnapper and his companions were stunned as they exchanged looks with each other.

The fat kidnapper narrowed his eyes alertly. “Little missy, don’t you even dare think about doing something!” Corinne blinked innocently. “What can I do when this is your territory? Do you think a weak girl like me can run away when strong men such as yourselves are watching me? You didn’t think highly of me, but you underestimate yourself.” The fat kidnapper smiled evilly. “Of course there’s no way for you to run, but I like to force myself onto women! It’s more exciting that way!” Corinne sighed, and her expression faltered. “But the ropes are affecting me.

Hear me out: I used to work in a special job when I was studying to earn more money. I’m good at serving people, if you catch my drift. I guarantee you’ll experience the most exciting, exhilarating time of your life.” The men cackled upon hearing her words. “Oh? So you’re an expert, are you? Where did you work before?” “I worked part-time in Twilight before.” “Twilight? That’s a high-class bar, and it’s very famous in New Capital City! I want to see how escorts in high-class bars treat their customers! Go and untie her!” exclaimed the fat kidnapper.

One of the guys gulped and hurried over to untie Corinne.

Corinne stood up and loosened her muscles. After that, she looked up and smiled sexily. “Where should we have fun?” The fat kidnapper pointed at a place contemptuously. “Here!” Corinne grew flustered. “Here? With them watching?” The fat kidnapper smiled salaciously. “They’re not just going to watch. They’re going to join in the fun!” Corinne covered her mouth as though surprised by what she heard. After that, however, she giggled. “Oh, but the more, the merrier. It’s more satisfying that way!” The kidnappers were dumbstruck.

“This woman looks so pure, but she’s a wild one all along!” “Good! Good! I like the wild one!” “Let’s get started now. I can’t wait!” Corinne flicked her hair sexily and slowly undid a button as she walked toward the rotund kidnapper, who was drooling.

He even thought Corinne was taking too long to take off her clothes and anxiously went up. trying to help her take off her clothes.

All of a sudden, Corinne raised her leg and harshly kicked the fat man’s abdomen, sending him tumbling back and vomiting.

The other men’s smiles faltered at the sight.

The fat kidnapper held his stomach as he wheezed. Gritting his teeth, he cursed, “You’re asking for trouble, you b*tch! Kill her! Kill her!” With ferocious expressions, the rest of the kidnappers swung their punches at Corinne.

Corinne did not panic. She took her time and took down the kidnappers one by one as they tried to hit her. In the end, all of the kidnappers lay on the ground grunting in pain with fractured bones, unable to get up.

Finally, she stepped on the fat kidnapper’s stomach and relaxed her wrist. “I’m sorry. I probably didn’t explain myself properly. Twilight is a regular bar, and they never offer extra services! I worked as a part-time martial art coach and was responsible for training the guards working in the bar. I taught them to use their fists and legs to fight thugs like you!” The kidnappers looked at her with fear as if she was a devil. They were afraid Corinne would hit them again, fearing they would actually die in her hands.
