Ch. 171..180

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 171-At this point, Corinne was tired. Thus, she gave the fat kidnapper a last kick and prepared to leave.

However, the sound of iron screeching could be heard when the iron door of the warehouse opened from the outside.

Someone was coming in!

It was a man about 1.75 meters tall with his hair dyed silver. He also sported a blue diamond stud on his left earlobe.

Corinne looked at the man and took a few steps back warily as she studied the man.

The kidnappers could not get up as some of them sustained fractured bones.

When they saw the silver-haired man, however, they acted as though their savior had come.

“Sir!” “Right on time, boss. Don’t let that b*tch escape!” Corinne finally got a good look at the silver-haired man’s face as he walked closer. The man’s facial features looked perfect, but he had a scar on the left side of his cheek. That changed his character and assumed a cruel characteristic on him.

The silver-haired man lifted his foot and stepped harshly on the fat kidnapper.

“You can’t even take care of a woman? You useless piece of sh*t!” The fat kidnapper suffered tremendous pain, so much so that his eyeballs could pop out of their sockets. He passed out in pain.

Right then, Corinne realized this silver-haired man was the mastermind who curated the kidnapping. She furrowed her brow and asked, “Who are you?” If this man could treat his own subordinate so brutally, it just showed he was not an easy person to deal with.

The silver-haired man looked at Corinne like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

He sneered, “You’re not fit to know who I am.” Corinne did not panic. “Then are you thinking of having fun with me like they did, too?” The silver-haired man examined her and looked disgusted. “Every woman that played with Jeremy Holden is disgusting.” Suddenly, he took out a pistol from his back and aimed it at Corinne’s head.

Corinne’s pupils shrunk, but her calm disposition did not waver. “We have no animosity between us. Even if I’m useless to you, it doesn’t mean you have to kill me.” The silver-haired man smiled cruelly, revealing his canine tooth that resembled the pointy tooth of a vampire. “A useless hostage is better dead to avoid any trouble in the future.” After that, he was going to pull the trigger when all of a sudden, his phone rang.

The silver-haired man stopped and took out his phone.

No one knew what the caller said except for the silver-haired man, who had a frown on his face.” What? What’s the situation now? I’ll go there immediately.” After he finished talking on the phone, Corinne was nowhere to be seen.

One of his subordinates pointed at the window of the warehouse. “Boss, that b*tch just jumped out from that window!”, The silver-haired man glared ferociously at the window and gritted his teeth, revealing his white, pointy canine tooth.

Whatever. He had no time to spend on that woman, but she would be dead the next time they would meet.

At that moment, a helicopter was flying in the sky.

Tommy, in the cockpit, raised his voice as he tried to talk over the noise from the propellers.

“Sir, according to the last place the surveillance spotted the van, the people who kidnapped Miss Corinne should be hiding in the deserted warehouse below us!” Jeremy looked serious. “Land now!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 172-Corinne escaped from the warehouse and wandered in the wild alone without her phone. Her kidnappers must have thrown it away when they took her.

It was pitch-black, and the clouds obstructed any sliver of moonlight from reaching the land, making it difficult to tell the direction. Corinne thus tried to find a place to hide until daylight would come to find a way back.

This place was even worse than an actual jungle. She could have found a cave in one, but this wasteland had nowhere she could go to take shelter. Other than bramble weed, there was not even a tree that she could take cover in!

Raindrops started to fall from the sky. Without a place to take cover, she could only let the rain fall on her.

All of a sudden, she heard footsteps from behind her, as well as a flashlight beam moving at random.

Only the accomplices of the kidnappers were out here in the wild.

Corinne held her breath and crawled into the bush to hide.

The footsteps sounded as though they were getting closer as a tall man standing about a meter away shone his flashlight on her, its beam awfully bright.

“Come out!” rang the man’s voice, cold and threatening.

Corinne knew the man must have discovered her hiding place. Thus, she grabbed a fistful of mud in her hand and, leaping out, flung the mud at the man’s face in an attempt to blur his vision.

Knowing she could not defeat the silver-haired man because he was armed with a pistol, she had to obstruct his vision before she could attempt to run.

However, the man’s reaction was faster as he side-stepped, avoiding the mud, and grabbed her hand tightly.

Realizing her plan had failed, Corinne struggled to break free and swung her free hand to attack- “It’s me,” came the man’s voice, calm and enduring.

They were so close to each other that Corinne could hear the voice very clearly.

This familiar sound…startled her.

Subsequently, she was pulled into a warm hug as two strong arms encompassed her.

He placed his hand on the back of Corinne’s head and rubbed her head to console her. “There, there. It’s fine now.” Corinne’s tense nerves eased off at this moment. “Mister, why are you…” “Are you hurt?” Jeremy did not seem to be his usual calm self. His deep voice hinted he was slightly nervous as he carefully pushed her away with both of his hands on her shoulders. Under the limited light from 2/2 the flashlight, he used his eagle-sharp eyes to check for any injuries.

Corinne shook her head and blinked in disbelief.

Why was Jeremy here? He told the kidnappers to do anything they wanted to her, did he not? He did not even bother asking for the ransom amount and hung up the phone in evident annoyance.

The rain grew heavier..

Jeremy’s nervous gaze looked less tense when he did not see any obvious injury on Corinne’s body. He took off his coat and put it over her, covering her from the rain. “I’m sorry I’m late,” he muttered apologetically.

Corinne stood quietly and looked at the man in front of her. She was not used to the way Jeremy was treating her.

As a matter of fact, he was not late and was instead rather swift.

It was less than half an hour after the fat kidnapper called him threateningly.

Even if he rushed here driving from the city, it would have taken him at least two hours to drive.

It was amazing that he could reach here within half an hour. How did he do it?

“Sir!” Tommy ran over, panting and quickly opening the umbrella to shield Jeremy from the rain. He was relieved to see Corinne in Jeremy’s arms as well.

“Thank goodness. You found Miss Corinne! Miss Corinne, are you alright?” Corinne shook her head faintly. “I’m fine.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 173-“That’s good!” Tommy was relieved. If anything happened to Corinne, he was dead sure Jeremy would be pissed.

After what happened today, Tommy could tell Jeremy’s feelings for Corinne had gone past how he should feel for a contracted wife.

Jeremy cared about Corinne-and very much so.

“Sir, a storm is picking up, and the helicopter can’t fly in such weather. I’ve arranged for the nearest car to pick us up, and it’s here. Why don’t you and Miss Corinne get in the car?”

That answered Corinne’s question. ‘That explained why they arrived so fast.

They came here in a helicopter.’ Jeremy responded and gave his command, “Stay here until the police arrive.

Make sure all the kidnappers are captured. Don’t let any of them go.

“Sir, yes, sir!” Tommy nodded. “Understood!” After that, Jeremy carried Corinne and strode toward the car in front of them, all while Tommy escorted them with the umbrella.

The flustered Corinne struggled to get down from Jeremy’s arms. “Mister, I’m not hurt. I can walk by myself…” However, Jeremy tightened his arms to hold her still. He looked down and warned her, “Don’t move. If you move again, I’m going to throw you into the ditch.” Corinne did not dare to move anymore. She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.

‘How is it that this man can’t be nice to me for more than three seconds?” Jeremy put Corinne safely on the front passenger seat and even helped her to fasten the seat belt. Because of that, their faces were dangerously close to one another.

Corinne was not used to that and tried to buckle her seatbelt herself. She reached for the safety belt and pulled it to her, but she did not know what came together was Jeremy’s body too.

Jeremy’s body faltered, having been pulled down as Corinne tugged at the belt.

His chin ended up resting on her collarbone. He turned his head to the side and accidentally, his lips grazed her fair neck.

His pupils shrunk, and his throat felt dry. His Adam’s apple bobbed before he quickly let go and straightened himself.

Due to the intimate contact that sent a jolt of electricity within Corinne, she had shivers all over .her body. She turned her head to the side sheepishly and blinked off her embarrassment.

Straightening himself, Jeremy stood beside the door and glared at her from a condescending angle, his gaze burning with ardor.

The little rascal looked…awfully seductive.

As he closed the door for her, he untightened his necktie in annoyance, walked to the driver’s seat, 2/2 and got into the car.

The rain continued to pour heavily as the car drove on the road in the wilderness, the wipers swiping left and right continuously.

Neither of them said anything, and the ambiance was awkward.

Finally, Corinne cleared her throat and asked, “Didn’t you say you don’t care about me and told the kidnappers to do anything that they want with me? Have you found your way to your consciousness and decided to rescue me?” Jeremy glanced at her faintly. “You heard everything?” Corinne looked out the window and used her hand to support her chin. “Yes. I heard everything,” she grunted, “and I think you’re a jerk, too!” Jeremy looked at the road in front of him and explained, “If I showed that I was eager to rescue you, those people wouldn’t let their guard down with you.

They’d even use the cruelest method to torture you in an attempt to provoke me.

“Plus, I have to deal with this discreetly and not alert anyone. What if there are more people thinking of kidnapping you to threaten me in the future? You won’t have any peace, even if our relationship ends.” ‘Hm… He’s got a point, though.’ Corinne thought. ‘Jeremy’s identity is very special. It’s only natural that many would try to look for his weakness to threaten him.” She curled her lips sarcastically, looked over to Jeremy’s side, and raised an eyebrow. “So you know you’re going to bring a lot of trouble to my life.” She cheekily raised her eyebrows as she spoke, her red lips revealing her pearly white teeth.

Suddenly, Jeremy’s face looked tense. His eyes turned red, and his throat went dry in thirst. With just one look at her, a strange sensation ran through his body hotly, and the heat rushed through every part of his body.

It was not a weird feeling, and all adult men knew what it meant.

He stepped on the brake without any warning, sending Corinne lurching forward. Thankfully, her seatbelt pulled her back.

She furrowed her brow and looked at Jeremy curiously. “Mister, what are you doing?” “Get down,” Jeremy demanded coldly.

Corinne was dumbstruck, clueless as to what was happening. “What? It’s raining! What did I do to you?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 174-Jeremy stared straight ahead and demanded, “Get down, and go sit at the back!” Corinne was infuriated. She did not remember saying anything inappropriate, and she did not understand why Jeremy would be enraged all of a sudden.

What an absurd person he was!

If whatever she said was going to provoke him, she would stay out of his way!

“Fine! I’ll get down! It’s quieter in the back too, and I don’t have to look at his face!’ Corinne thought angrily.

She unfastened the seat and reached for the door, not forgetting to shoot Jeremy a pointed look. However, it was then she noticed the blue veins on Jeremy’s hand visible as he grabbed the steering wheel tightly like he was tortured.

With furrowed eyebrows, she asked, “Mister, are you alright?” Jeremy did not answer her question and instead commanded, “Get down, now!” At this moment, Corinne felt that something was amiss. She closed the door which she opened and turned to face Jeremy. “Mister if you’re not feeling well, it’s better you don’t drive. It’s going to be dangerous,” she advised. “I can drive.” Suddenly, Jeremy turned to face her. His eyes looked glazed over and had an abnormal type of redness in them.

Corinne was confused. “What’s going on with you-mph!” Before she finished her sentence, Jeremy pulled her by the collar and placed his large hand on the back of her head, kissing her like his life depended on it.

The shell-shocked Corinne’s eyes widened as she tried to push him away.

‘What is he doing? Is he crazy? The car stopped in the middle of the road!’ she thought.

Their kiss deepened, but even then, Jeremy thought it was not enough. He wanted more.

Corinne was so angry that she chomped down on his lip.

As the pain snapped Jeremy out of his trance, he stopped and pushed her away with the remaining weak self-restraint he had, using his thumb to wipe away the blood from the corner of his lip. Panting, he warned, “If you don’t want me to spiral out of control and do that to you again, go sit at the back now!” His face, body temperature, and condition were abnormal.

Suddenly, Corinne realized something, and she was no longer bothered to be angry about the way Jeremy forced his lips onto hers. She grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse. Furrowing her eyebrows, she asked, “What did you eat tonight?” ‘Why is she checking my pulse?’ Jeremy tried to suppress his desire that was running amok and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “What do you think?” A thought appeared in Corinne’s mind. “Did you go to Moonlight Hotel to meet with Sherlyn?” Even when Jeremy’s mind nearly crumbled, he was still infuriated when Corinne mentioned the hotel. “Weren’t you the one who invited me to the hotel and said you were going to cook for me as an apology?” he sneered.

Corinne used her hand to support her forehead and finally understood what was happening. Sherlyn must have drugged him, and it was taking effect!

All Sherlyn had been thinking of every day was getting her hands on a powerful, rich man. Both she and her mother would do anything to fulfill that goal.

The thing Corinne did not understand was why Jeremy would eat the food Sherlyn cooked when he obviously never liked Sherlyn. Moreover, he was an alert person too.

What she did not know, however, was that Jeremy had no idea Corinne did not cook those dishes. That was the only reason why he was willing to try them.

Corinne continued to check his pulse and said, “Tell me. What did you eat?” To solve the problem, she had to figure out what was causing it.

Jeremy was under the impression that Corinne might have medicinal knowledge with the way she interrogated him.

The moment he looked at her red lips, however, the warm feeling rushed up his chest again.

He looked to the side coldly and said, his voice hoarse, “A dish with a kind of mushroom and vegetable cooked together.” Bingo! The symptoms matched. The mushroom must have been cordyceps, a type of mushroom not many knew of.

Corinne once read from a medical book that cordyceps had an aphrodisiac effect. If eaten alone, It could spice up the sex life for a couple. However, if it was eaten with fennel, the effect would. greatly increase, and men could hardly control themselves.

The worst part about this was there was no cure. The only way to clear the toxin was to have sexual intercourse.

With the conclusion derived, Corinne let go of Jeremy’s wrist to avoid physical contact that might trigger his desire. “Umm… Mister, I think you’re poisoned by that mushroom, and it’s taking effect on you now.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 175-Jeremy desperately tried to quell the foreign sensation in his body and responded deeply. He had already figured it out.

Corinne looked at him sympathetically as she raised her brow. “Are you able to drive? Maybe I should do it instead.” “No.” He started the car engine and grabbed the steering wheel. “Go sit at the back!” “Okay.” Knowing the true reason why Jeremy asked her to move to the back, she was no longer. angry. However, she did not go to the back by getting down

as it was pouring heavily outside. She leaped to the back straight from the front passenger seat.

As soon as she was at the back, Jeremy quickly raised the partition glass to separate the front. and back so they were in different spaces. Despite that, they were still in the same car, with only the partition block separating them. They could still hear each other’s breaths.

Corinne felt conflicted. She knew Jeremy was trying to control himself, and she could not possibly pretend to not know it.

The downpour intensified, causing the road to pool with shallow water and making it unsafe to continue driving. Thus, Jeremy drove to a motel in the suburb.

The front desk receptionist informed them there was only one vacant room left.

It was an awkward moment for Corinne. If this happened on a normal day, she would not have minded being with Jeremy in the same room. It was not like they had never done that before back. home. Corinne would sleep on the bed, and Jeremy would take the sofa. They would easily leave each other alone then.

Today was different. Jeremy accidentally ate something, and his libido skyrocketed because of it. What if he could not control himself?

While Corinne was hesitating, Jeremy said, “We’ll take it.” Her head snapped toward him as she gazed at him warily.

Jeremy’s expression looked dark though without expression. He accepted the key card from the front desk and pulled Corinne with him to take the lift.

Since the lift was a closed space, Corinne’s guard heightened. Jeremy’s pants were audible, and if anything, it served as a warning to Corinne.

She looked to the side, thinking of inspecting his condition, but she realized Jeremy had been staring at her.

Their eyes met.

She knew what he was enduring, and he knew what she was being guarded against. Both of their thoughts were visible in their eyes.

Corinne blinked sheepishly and quickly looked away.

Once they entered the room, Jeremy headed straight to the bathroom and closed the door.

This eased Corinne’s worried mind. She inhaled softly and sat down to think of a solution.

When she was in the car, she did not exactly tell Jeremy the whole thing.

If she remembered correctly, the medical book she read stated that cordyceps and fennel should not be eaten together because they would create a toxin. The only way to expel the toxin was by having sexual intercourse or there would be serious implications.

Based on the consumed dosage, the person could suffer paralysis in the lower body compared to those who consumed less. That heavier consumption would result in death with blood overflowing the body.

No one except Jeremy knew how much he consumed.

Sherlyn was utterly despicable to have employed such a method. If she gave Jeremy Viagra instead of the cordyceps and fennel, he would just need to endure it and let it pass. Sherlyn was forcing Jeremy to sleep with her just to save himself, all so she could become his mistress.

Alas, Sherlyn would never think Jeremy would not stay in the hotel until the effect had taken its toll on him. That was the part where she failed.

Having thought of this, Corinne knew time was of the essence, and she should search on the internet to see if there was any way to help Jeremy expel the toxin.

She reached into her pocket and only then realized the kidnappers threw her phone away. Luckily, she had Jeremy’s coat with her, and his phone was in the pocket.

She used his phone to search for whatever information she could find, but she had no luck.

Out of the blue, she accidentally opened his recent call history. An idea popped into her mind as she quickly searched for Sunny’s contact number and called him

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 176-The call got through and, within moments, was connected.

“Hello?” said Sunny, his voice barely above a whisper. “Jeremy, I’m doing my homework. What’s up?” “It’s me,” said Corinne.

“Corinne?” blurted Sunny, his voice raised in surprise.

He quickly cleared his throat and talked proudly, “Corinne, why are you calling me with Jeremy’s phone?” “Is your sister at home?” she asked.

This baffled Sunny. “Why? Why are you looking for her?” Corinne knew she should not talk with Sunny about Jeremy’s condition because he was still a child. “Umm… Jeremy needs her badly now. Can you ask if she’s free to come?” Sunny thought something was wrong. “She’s not in the country now. It’s probably going to be a while longer before she comes back. Why does Jeremy want to look for my sister? Why doesn’t he call her directly?” Sunny’s sister could never help out Jeremy in time, not when she was out of the country!

“Nothing. Bye!” This evidently displeased Sunny. “Hey, you! Wait, answer my question-” There was no time for Corinne to explain in detail, so she swiftly ended the call.

Her plan was to invite the apple of Jeremy’s eye and let them have an enjoyable night, all while solving the toxin problem at the same time. It was killing two birds with one stone!

That would have been the case if Sunny’s sister was not out of the country.

Corinne sighed helplessly. Just then, Jeremy’s phone vibrated again. She thought Sunny had called back, but looking at the screen, she realized it was a call from Zeke.

Her first reaction was to call Jeremy out of the bathroom to pick up the phone, but the moment she opened her mouth, she remembered the complication Jeremy was in and quickly closed her mouth.

After some thought, she answered the call on Jeremy’s behalf in case it was an urgent call.

“Hey, Jeremy, where are you?” As usual, Zeke sounded playful, and it did not sound like he had an urgent matter.

“It’s me,” Corinne said faintly.

Zeke grinned. “Corinne, it’s you! Where’s Jeremy?” “He’s in the shower right now, and he can’t answer the phone,” Corinne answered honestly.

After two seconds of silence, Zeke chuckled. “Oh, I get it. I’m sorry for disturbing you two.” 22 Corinne was stunned for a good few seconds before realization dawned on her what Zeke meant. Her face blushed. “Wait! Don’t hang up yet!” Zeke nearly hung up. “Huh? Is there something you want to tell me?” Corinne looked out the window and at the rain. She thought for a while and said, “Does Jeremy have ex-girlfriends?” It never occurred to Zeke that this would be the question Corinne would ask at this time. He chuckled. “Why? Are you trying to get some information about Jeremy’s past relationships from me?” Innocently, Corinne said, “No. I mean, can you help me to contact one of his exgirlfriends to come and talk to him?” At this moment, Zeke was actually in a club sipping a glass of red wine. When he heard the request, he nearly choked.

“Cough, cough! What? You want to find Jeremy’s ex-girlfriend to go there and talk to him? Geez, three people? Corinne, you guys…are into such hardcore stuff?” At first, Corinne did not understand what Zeke meant, but her brain immediately processed it and realized what Zeke was talking about.

Her expression darkened, and her lips twitched. “No! He’s in a very particular situation right now. He needs a woman to come and-” Before she could finish, a big hand reached over from behind and took the phone away. Dumbstruck, Corinne turned around and saw Jeremy standing behind her.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 177-Jeremy looked like he just finished his shower and had changed into the white robe. With his damp hair, he looked relaxed and at ease, but his expression showed the exact opposite-it was dark and sullen, just like a devil.

“Err… When did you come out, Mister?” Jeremy was calmer after taking a cold shower. When he left the bathroom, however, he saw Corinne talking on the phone near the window.

He looked down at the screen and noticed the call was still connected, so he pressed the red button and ended the call.

He looked up from the screen and glared at Corinne. “What are you trying to do, looking for my ex- girlfriend?” Corinne did not avoid the question and explained honestly, “Your condition calls for reinforcement to help you settle, so I…” “So you called people to help me look for a woman?” Jeremy sounded angry.

Corinne nodded. “Yes, but I didn’t find any. Why don’t you contact your exgirlfriend and see if she’s willing to rekindle with you?” Jeremy’s gaze darkened as the corners of his lips quirked. “Miss Corinne, it looks like you really enjoy sharing your husband with another woman.” This morning, she even helped another woman to invite him to the hotel and had the woman poison him! Had he not left any sooner, what would have happened if the effect started earlier?

Alas, it did not matter to her at all.

Corinne scoffed and felt helpless. “It’s an emergency. I’m just trying to help you solve your problem.” “An emergency?” Jeremy squinted and smiled, but his grin looked forced and not at all natural as he sneered, “If you’re so keen on helping others, why don’t you do it and help me, your husband?” Corinne was stunned and furrowed her brow sheepishly. “I can’t. I’m not your cup of tea…” Jeremy walked up to her and lifted her chin roughly. “I’m thirsty like I’m in a desert. Do you think I’d care if you’re my cup of tea?” This startled Corinne, and she was aware of the danger. Her instinct told her to back up as her mind reeled. “Really? If you don’t mind, I can go to the board downstairs and see if there are any flyers. I heard it’s very easy to call for a service nowadays…” How was it possible that she still thought of getting an escort of sorts for him?

The anger in Jeremy’s body had infused with his desire. The fire grew even hotter as his body temperature rose.

‘How eager can she be? It looks like she genuinely doesn’t mind if I sleep with another woman… Heh.’ Just as Corinne was trying to make a run for it, Jeremy grabbed her hand. He then pulled both of her hands to her back and clamped them with just one hand.

Pulling her hands down a little with a bit of force, her body was lifted a little, so she had no choice. but to lift her head and look at him.

Corinne could not possibly overpower him, much less make a run for it. “Mister, what are you doing? Let me go now!” Jeremy pushed her against the wall and raised one toned leg to press against the wall, between Corinne’s knees. If she could struggle before, she could no longer break free at this moment.

He lowered his head and brought his face close to hers. His heavy breathing fanned her scrunched face.

“Why should I look for other women when I have my wife here with me?

Besides, those women aren’t clean. Am I right, Miss Corinne?” Corinne frowned and looked to the side to avoid Jeremy’s face which was dangerously close to hers. If he got any closer, their lips would meet.

Jeremy was unhappy with that.

His free hand grabbed her chin and forced him to turn his way, and he looked at her from a condescending angle. “Are you so afraid that I’ll sleep with you? So eager to push me to another woman? Huh?” The brat managed to trigger the desire he had just suppressed with a cold shower, and his body. heat flared up again.

He wanted nothing more than to bite this brat and devour her without spitting out any of her bones!

Jeremy did not want to endure it anymore. His cold eyes burned passionately, fervently.

Things were about to get out of control.

Corinne gasped a full breath of cold air and said, “Mister, please get ahold of yourself! Don’t forget that I’m not your type!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 178-Jeremy’s eyes reddened with desire as he stared at Corinne as though she was his prey. “What if I tell you you’re my type now?” Thunder boomed across the sky at that second. What started as mere rain quickly turned into a downpour as the winds picked up.

Mystified, Corinne stared at Jeremy in bewilderment. After a while, she chuckled. “Did you hear that? Even God doesn’t believe in you; God knows you want to trick me into sleeping with you and want to strike you down with lightning.” Tricking her into sleeping with him….?

Jeremy’s eyes darkened, and the bluish veins on his forehead protruded.

Corinne sighed. “You’re hallucinating because of the toxin. I can understand the toxin is the reason why you want to sleep with any women you see right now.” She could understand, she said?

“Corinne Carew! What kind of person do you think I am?” snarled Jeremy, his gaze penetrative as his breath fanned her face. It smelled oddly nice, however, laced with the scent of good-quality tobacco.

Corinne frowned and looked determined as if she was not going to let Jeremy do anything to her.” You are a man, one that’s losing control of himself because of the desire in his body taking over his mind!” “Exactly! You’re d*mn right!” Jeremy sneered with gritted teeth. Judging by the way he was panting and how his chest was heaving, he was losing control.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips onto Corinne’s.

Her eyes widened as she began to struggle against the man, strong as he was.

Shaking her head, she bit him.

Her struggle paid off as she managed to free her hands from his grip, and Jeremy backed off panting. The shock remained in her system as she looked up with fear.

Jeremy had turned his back on her. He grasped his fists tightly and walked toward the door, his footsteps sounding heavy as he did.

Despite the wave of relief she felt, Corinne warily called out to him, “Cough! WWhere are you going?” Jeremy did not look back as he hoarsely answered, “I’m going to sleep in the car. Stay here. Wake up at seven tomorrow morning and look for me downstairs.” It was an odd sensation he was feeling as though millions of ants were crawling in his body. He could very well lose control if he did not get away from Corinne.

In truth, he never thought of forcing Corinne to sleep with him to solve the problem. He would not have lost his mind if he did not see her calling people to look for a woman to sleep with him when he just got out of the bathroom.

He had to spend several minutes in the shower just to help regulate his thoughts and desires, but this brat ruined everything.

Corinne was stunned. She furrowed her brows and was in a dilemma as she looked at Jeremy’s back.

‘He doesn’t know this situation isn’t going to just go away if he endures it. If he doesn’t sleep with anyone, the best he’ll get out of this is paralysis in the lower body…” Thinking back to the days she spent with Jeremy-over 20 days-they have had a rather peaceful time. Discounting the few occasions of him being overbearing, he treated her quite well. He was even willing to spend a fortune to bid on a painting for her.

The weather was terrible outside; it was raining cats and dogs. Even if there was a woman willing to offer her body, she was in no way reaching here in time!

Either Corinne decided to keep out of this and watch an innocent, healthy man end up paralyzed or dead…or she could offer to help him out and sleep with him.

It was a difficult step for someone who never had intimacy at such a level.

Nonetheless, the reason Jeremy was poisoned was because of Sherlyn.

Undeniably, Corinne played a part in that, too.

Moreover, he also rushed over as soon as he could to rescue her when he knew she was kidnapped.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 179-If Corinne decided to do nothing to help Jeremy in his predicament, it would no doubt haunt her in the future knowing she could have helped him but did not.

Making up her mind, she took a deep breath. “Wait, Mister! I’ll help you!” Jeremy stopped walking as his heart pounded heavily.

His mind and his desire were fighting each other like a vampire with the last humanity remaining in him when faced with human blood. He clung to the last strand of rationality from running over to Corinne.

He narrowed his eyes sharply like a predator. “Why?”

Corinne walked over and turned to face Jeremy before hesitantly undid his bathrobe. “It’s an emergency. Think of it as humanitarian aid. Besides, you’re not that bad looking, and you have a good body too. I don’t think I’m at a disadvantage if I help you, so let’s do this.” Every word she said pinpointed every reason for Jeremy to get angry. There was no emotion in her words, and all that was left was morality.

Jeremy suppressed his desire and asked, “If the man standing in front of you isn’t me now but another man in the same situation, are you going to be so kind and generous to help him?” Corinne nodded. “If he’s a good guy, I will.” Jeremy would have let this go, but her explanation served only to infuriate him.

‘That means I’m not special since she’s going to be kind enough to take off her clothes for other men too!’ He wrapped his arm around Corinne’s waist with the intent to punish her while he looked at her from high above. “Fine. Since you’re so benevolent, I’ll accept your offer.” Corinne wanted to say something else, but Jeremy passionately seized her lips with his which stopped her from talking.

Lifting her off her feet, he then tossed her onto the bed and pressed his toned body against her. As he used his calloused hand to remove the strands of hair on her face, he asked, “Any thoughts of backing out?” Corinne was dazed after the kiss. She closed her eyes and refused to face him.

She said. stubbornly, “I won’t regret doing something benevolent.” It sparked the desire in Jeremy’s eyes into fire. He smiled sarcastically. “Fine.

Even if you regret it now, I’m not going to let you go. Don’t cry later, oh merciful Corinne.” Corinne panicked. As a matter of fact, she realized she was slowly falling into it, but she pretended that she was reacting in this way only because she was trying to save Jeremy, ignoring other feelings that appeared during this moment.

It would be easier for her to deal with her relationship with Jeremy in the future.

It would be less difficult to keep their relationship as cooperative partners; they could end it anytime they want.

It was a night of highs and lows.

When Corinne woke up, the sun was already up in the sky, shining brightly. She tried to sit up, but everything was hurting so much that it felt as though she was beaten up.

Realizing she was the only one on the bed, she reached for a bathrobe and put it on before she got off the bed, intending to go to the bathroom. However, she quickly noticed that the door was half- opened as voices were heard in the hallway.

It was Tommy’s voice.

She walked over to take a look.

“Sir, the kidnappers are put behind bars, but their leader refused to admit those are his subordinates and even prepared an alibi to prove he wasn’t there. There were no traces that he had contacted those people too. The police couldn’t do anything, so they let him go.” “Find that guy and bring him to me,” Jeremy commanded.

“Understood!” Jeremy pushed the door and walked into the room where he saw Corinne groggily standing near the door. His brow furrowed. “You’re awake?

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 180-Corinne looked at Jeremy, blinked sheepishly, and mumbled in response sleepily.

Jeremy had changed into a new set of formal wear. Tommy must have brought it to him.

Corinne thought for a while and said, “Um… My clothes are unwearable. Can you please have someone bring me a new set of clothes?” Jeremy glanced at the torn clothes on the floor. He narrowed his eyes as he recalled he nearly tore the little rascal into pieces. It was a satisfying night that he would remember forever.

He raised his hand to pass a shopping bag to her that he just brought in.

“Tommy bought these in the shopping mall. The size may not fit you, but put these on for now. You can change into your clothes after we get home.” Corinne accepted it. “Thank you.” She went into the bathroom to freshen up and put on the clothes. It was a dress that straightforward men would like. The size was one size too big, but she luckily could still wear them.

After she had put on the clothes, she came out and saw Jeremy smoking on the balcony. Facing his back, she said, “Mister, I have something to do, so I’ll get going.” Jeremy looked back and glanced at her unhappily. He exhaled the smoke and said, albeit sounding rather commanding, “Come here.” ‘What’s this for?’ Corinne walked toward him reluctantly and stopped a few steps away from him to maintain some distance. “What can I do for you, Mister?” Jeremy turned and leaned on the rail while putting off his cigarette. “Why are you still calling me Mister?” Corinne was confused by this. “Well, what else should I call you if not that?” Jeremy narrowed his long eyes. “What do you think? What should a woman call her husband?” Corinne blushed and pursed her lips embarrassingly. “Mister, can you stop teasing me? I helped you solve your problem last night… Also, it’s not funny!” ‘She thinks I’m teasing her? Jeremy sneered. “But of course, oh benevolent one. I surely can’t treat you badly.” Corinne did not know what he meant by that, but she was not looking for any repayment. She was -not forced to do it last night nor was she foolish.

Although she felt a little helpless, her mind was clear and she voluntarily did the deed. She did it because she wanted to save him, not because she was sacrificing her body to him with the intention to exchange for something.

Suddenly, Jeremy straightened himself and approached her. With his calloused long fingers, he grabbed her chin, lowered himself, and kissed her lips.

Corinne was stunned. Instinctively, she backed up, but Jeremy put his hand around her waist and pulled her toward him.

After last night’s intimate act, she was not scared of Jeremy’s actions. She just did not understand She had no choice but to let Jeremy kiss her.

After he let her go, she pouted and furrowed her brow. “Mister, is there still some toxin in your body?” Jeremy’s expression faltered at this, and the gentleness in his eyes disappeared immediately.

‘What the hell is wrong with this brat? She’s normally very smart and attentive, but why is she so daft now? This brat doesn’t know what romance is!

When they checked out, the front desk told them there were red stains on the bed sheets that could not be removed, so they needed to pay the fee for it.

Red stains that were unremovable… Others would think she was on her period and accidentally stained the bed sheets. However, Jeremy and Corinne knew exactly what the red stains were.

Corinne looked down shyly. Even her ears were burning red hot.

Jeremy’s lips curled into a little smile when he saw how flustered Corinne was.

He took out his wallet and grabbed a pile of cash and put it on the counter.

“Keep the change.” After he put away his wallet, he placed his hand on Corinne’s shoulder and walked out with her to the car.

Corinne regained her bearings when they got in the car. She rolled down the window to get some fresh air.
