Ch. 231..240

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 231-Having heard Anya’s name in the conversation, Jeremy’s indifferent expression finally faltered. After a long pause, he narrowed his eyes and said, “I won’t forget that. I’ll always fulfill the promise I made to her.” Rosie sneered, “Jeremy, it doesn’t matter if you don’t think of me as your friend anymore, but I hope you’ll remember everything Anya did for you. You can’t disappoint Anya just because of Corinne. She’s a good woman!” After that, Rosie turned around and opened the door to leave.

This was when she noticed Corinne was at the door.

Corinne was speechless.

She thought she heard Jeremy and Rosie talking to each other. Thus, she wanted to rush past the room to avoid having someone think she was eavesdropping.

Coincidentally, or maybe it was just bad luck, Rosie opened the door just as she walked slightly past the door.

Thus, it looked like she was eavesdropping and did not have the chance to get away quickly enough. No matter how she would explain herself, she still looked like they caught her red–handed.

Corinne stretched her mouth and smiled awkwardly, waving her hand politely at Rosie and Jeremy who were inside the room. “Hi. Would you believe me if I told you I just happened to pass by?” Jeremy and Rosie were speechless.

Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows and gazed at her with his deep eyes.

Rosie regained her senses and curled up her lips as she looked at Corinne.

Later, she deliberately looked back at Jeremy and said, “Jeremy, I believe you’ll make true of your word, and Anya will believe in you, too.” With that, she walked back to her room. Nonetheless, she paused when she reached Corinne’s side, and with a tone only audible to them both, she muttered into her ear, “Corinne, enjoy this while you still can. Anya is coming back soon.

When that happens, you’ll finally find out who’s the most important woman in Jeremy’s heart.” Corinne’s eyes wavered, yet she remained calm.

Why would she need to know who the most important woman in Jeremy’s heart was? It was none of her business! Moreover, why would she need to trouble herself to anticipate Anya’s return? By then, the contact between her and Jeremy was finished, and they should be on their separate ways.

Rosie left.

Jeremy approached Corinne and looked down at her slightly damp hair. He furrowed his eyebrows and said in a lecturing kind of tone, “Where do you think you’re going with that damp hair?” Corinne sighed helplessly. Annie was blow–drying her hair for her minutes ago until Sunny came. Thus, her hair remained slightly damp.

“Your niece and brother–in–law are arguing in our room. I came out to get some peace. I also think of going over to look at the poor bear.” Brother–in–law?

If she was using this term to refer to Sunny, it meant she was aware of something. Yet, she did not care about that and talked about something less irrelevant.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Corinne, do you have anything you want to ask me?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 232-Corinne answered Indifferently, “Nothing.” A dim, complicated light appeared in Jeremy’s eyes, Both of them made eye contact, and the ambiance grew awkward, Suddenly, Jeremy frowned and looked to the side to cough, which raised Corinne’s concern.

“Mister, are you sick?” Jeremy looked gloomy when he waved dismissively and said coldly, “I’m fine.”

Corinne pressed her finger at Jeremy’s wrist to feel his pulse, She furrowed her eyebrows.

The cave they were in was wet, cold, and humid. Being a gentleman, Jeremy gave his jacket to her before they fell asleep in the cave. It only made sense that Jeremy caught a cold.

“Mister, you got a cold. Cover yourself with more blankets to sweat it out when you sleep tonight, and you’ll be fine tomorrow.” “You can tell just by feeling my pulse?” Jeremy looked at Corinne curiously. He recalled Corinne was certain he was poisoned after he mistakenly consumed the food Sherlyn cooked the last time just by feeling his pulse.

Corinne nodded. “A little.” Jeremy was impressed. “You learned it before?” Corinne shook her head. “Not really. I grew up living in a convent in the countryside. Coincidentally, a nun there knew had a bit of medical knowledge, and she always helped the villagers examine their bodies when they were sick, so I learned a little when I was with her.” “A convent?” Jeremy squeezed his brow. “Why were you staying in that place when you were little?” “Well, my dad…” Corinne stopped mid–sentence and paused.

She stopped because she recalled Aaron telling her that Marvin was not her biological father, and she had a hard time calling Marvin her father ever since.

“Well, my stepmom didn’t want me living with them, so they sent me to the countryside to stay with a relative. My cousin didn’t like me either, so they sent me to another family. I was like a hot potato that got kicked around like a soccer ball. No one wanted me, so eventually, everyone decided to donate some money and sent me to the convent in the village. I’ve lived with nuns since I was small,” Hearing Corinne tell him about her saddening childhood in a self–deprecating way made him feel bitter. His chest felt stuffy as he furrowed his eyebrows vehemently.

He raised his big hand and stroked her hair like he was petting a little animal.

“You won’t have to wander from place to place again in the future.” Corinne had gotten over it and spread her hand, showing her childhood did not affect her anymore. “That’s right. I’m all grown up and independent now. I don’t need anyone to take me in.

– No one but me has the right to tell me where I stay!” Jeremy’s face became sullen. He pinched his glabella.

That was not what he meant at all.

Sometimes, he felt this little rascal did not have any emotional intelligence.

“Mister, go do your thing. I’m going to go over there…” Corinne was going to wander by herself. Since she was feeling bored, she thought of going to see the brown bear.

“You’re not going anywhere. Go back to the room and sleep!” Jeremy ordered, his voice sounding stern and deep.

He reached for the back of her collar and pulled her back to the room by force.

When they were back in the room, Annie and Sunny were no longer in the room.

Maybe they decided to go fight outside somewhere.

Jeremy locked the room to avoid someone else coming to disturb them and went straight to the bathroom to take his shower.

Corinne lay down on the bed. Since they were staying outside, she needed to pretend to be a real couple with Jeremy and not sleep in separate bedrooms.

Thus, she needed to take possession of the bed first and let Jeremy sleep on the couch.

It was a tiring day, and in just mere minutes, she dozed off. She had a long– winding dream.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 233-Her dream took place when she was a kid.

Being sick in her dream, her mother brought her to the hospital. While she had her drip, her mother -having asked if she was hungry–told her she would be right back after buying her a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Before her mother left, she took a good look at Corinne when she was at the door, and her eyes were teary.

Her mother’s face was blurry in that dream. No matter how hard she tried, she could not see her mother’s actual face.

After that, Marvin came to the hospital and told her, “I’m your father. Remember that you’re a Carew from now on. Do you understand? Now, come with me. I’m

bringing you home.” She was too young at that time to remember what her last name was. Did she have her mother’s last name?

All she could remember was her mother gently calling her nickname–‘Moonie‘.

The day she knew her last name was Carew, her name became Luna Carew.

When she lived in the convent, Mother Catharina said her name sounded too cold. ‘Luna‘ meant the moon and also silver in alchemy. It was not good for her, especially since none of her family members wanted her.

Thus, Mother Catharina made the decision to change her name to Corinne, saying that she was a beautiful maiden and that the name also symbolized a spear. In combination, Mother Cathrina hoped Corinne would become a female warrior who possessed great beauty and strength.

In addition, Mother Catharina warned her from giving her heart to someone else.

She must know how to protect herself and avoid revealing her weakest core to anyone.

From then onward, she was known as Corinne Carew.

To her, Mother Catharina was the only person who gave her warmth that she barely received in her childhood.

The dream was like a maze. No matter how fast she ran or searched, she could not find the exit.

Sometimes, she would see Mother Catharina in the maze, and she would say to her with a sad face, “Corinne, you need to be careful when you’re alone in New Capital City. Don’t trust anyone easily, especially men…” Sometimes, she would see her mother, who would smile gently at her and say, “Moonie, I’m going to buy a bowl of chicken noodle soup for you. I’ll be right back…” She could see them, but she could never reach them.

Mother Catharina disappeared. Her mother turned around and walked away, her pacing too quick.

Corinne panicked and tried to chase after her mother, wanting to go with her.

Just as she reached her, however, she found herself suddenly falling into an empty well The light above her gradually disappeared, and when she looked up, she realized someone was using a rock to cover the well. She realized she was in a pitch–black environment. She yelled for help, but her voice could not reach the outside world.

Then, something terrible happened.

Water started coming out of the well, and the water level rose until it finally drowned her. She tried hard to climb up the well, yet it was all for naught.

Drowned, suffocated, near–deathAbruptly, Corinne woke up from her dream. The room was dark, warm, and quiet. Nothing happened.

It was just a dream.

Before Corinne could dwell on the relief she felt, she found herself tasting the faint taste of tobacco flavor in her mouth.

That was weird. She never smoked, so why would there be tobacco flavor in her mouth?

Corinne furrowed her brow. Finally, she realized two rough fingers were pinching her chin. Someone was biting her lip and somewhat chewing on them.

With the moonlight outside the window, she finally got a clear view of the man’s face in front of her.

It was Jeremy.

‘Mister… is kissing me?!‘ she gasped internally.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 234-“Mph… Mister…! Mmm…” When Corinne finally regained her senses, her instinct kicked in as she shoved Jeremy away from her. She sat up panting and said unhappily, “Mister! What do you think you’re doing?” Jeremy did not reply. He turned around sleepily with his eyes closed and steady breathing.

Corinne’s eyebrows furrowed at this.

‘Is he sleeping? Did he dream of his beloved woman and get horny, winding up kissing the wrong person in his dream?‘ she thought.

Corinne’s lips twitched as she wiped her mouth in disgust and irritation.

‘Who allowed him to be in my bed?‘ They had an unspoken rule that one would sleep in the bed while the other would sleep on the couch.

If Jeremy did not have a cold today, Corinne would have very well kicked him out of bed.

Corinne grumbled with curses, and when she finally regained her composure, she gazed at Jeremy’s face.

‘He’s so deeply asleep. Could his cold have worsened?‘ she thought.

Since the light was not on, she could not exactly see Jeremy’s expression. After much hesitation, she extended her hand to feel his temperature by placing her hand on his forehead.

‘Good. He’s not having a fever.‘ Jeremy did not have a blanket and was sleeping quietly in his pajamas. His handsome face looked even more charming with the moonlight shining on his face.

Due to the accidental kiss they had seconds ago, Corinne felt disconcerted when she looked at him. She snorted and helped to put a blanket on Jeremy’s body.

Feeling like one blanket was not enough, however, so she got down and went to the wardrobe to take an extra blanket and put it on him. She tucked the blanket nicely for him as she hoped this could help him sweat.

She was kind enough to give him the bed just because he was sick. As such, there was only one place for her to sleep tonight, and that was the couch.

When she turned around, she heard something drop to the floor. Looking back, she noticed the two blankets had fallen to the floor.

Jeremy changed his posture and continued to sleep soundly.

Corinne frowned. ‘He’s an adult, and an adult doesn’t kick the blanket away!‘ Without a choice, she picked up the blankets and put them back onto his body before she walked to the couch.

However, it did not take long before she heard the sound of dropping again. She looked back, and as expected, the blankets were on the ground again.

She would repeatedly drape the blankets over him, but every time, the blankets would drop immediately after she turned. It was too exhausting for her.

She could not bear to leave him like that since Jeremy had a cold. If he slept without a blanket, he would have a fever the following day!

Corinne took a deep breath and told herself to calm down. For the last time, she put the blankets over Jeremy, got on the bed, and slept on top of him, using her hand to press down on the blankets so he could not kick the blankets away.

Argh! She gave up and thought about spending the night sleeping like this.

It was not like they were drunk or one of them was poisoned, so she believed nothing was going to happen.

She thought of it as a way to compensate Jeremy, a way to express her gratitude to him for rushing down the cliff to save her and not abandon her.

What she did not notice, however, was that Jeremy’s lips were curled into a small smile sneakily.

On the second day.

Corinne woke up when she had enough sleep. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, stretching her body.

As she did so, Jeremy walked out of the bathroom and greeted, “Miss Corinne, did you have a good sleep?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 235-For some reason, Corinne felt embarrassed and stopped mid–stretch. She remembered how Jeremy sneak–attacked her with a kiss and kept kicking the blankets off.“Heh. Not so good,” she answered.‘He probably has no idea the things he did last night because he was sleeping so soundly,‘ she scoffed.Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Is that so? When I woke up this morning, I saw you smiling in your sleep. I thought you must be having a good dream.” Corinne’s face reddened. She grew shy as If he had read her mind.Frankly, she did have a nice dream in the later part of the night.Oddly enough, she managed to fall asleep quickly after she stopped Jeremy from kicking the blankets by sleeping on top of him.She dreamt of delicious food, cute little animals, and funny gag performances. It was an entirely different dream from the nightmare she had before. She was very happy in the second dream.“Hey, Mister, did anyone tell you it’s rude to stare at people when they’re sleeping?” “No.” Corinne stretched her lips. “Well, now you know. Please maintain a distance when someone is sleeping, and don’t pry.” Jeremy buttoned up his shirt calmly and said, “I don’t need to pry. I was looking at you for about one minute, and you were drooling. Your saliva reached your ear.” Corinne was speechless. ‘F*ck! He’s so annoying!‘ She gulped and unconsciously wiped away the saliva mark on her face.Jeremy decided to stop teasing her and said, “Alright. It’s time to get up. We can enjoy the morning, and we’re leaving during the afternoon.” “Oh, okay!” Corinne got down from the bed and entered the bathroom to freshen up her unhappy face and tousled hair.A soft glint flashed past Jeremy’s eyes when he saw her resentful expression.It seemed like a pretty nice life if he could wake up to see her drowsy face every morning.After Corinne was ready, she and Jeremy went to the restaurant in the resort to have their breakfast. Zeke and the others were there eating, too.Spotting her, Annie quickly waved her over. “Corinne, come sit with me!” ” Corinne wanted to go, but she remembered she was playing husband–and–wife with Jeremy, and it did not seem nice for them to sit apart.Jeremy looked down at her and, as though reading her mind, stroked her hair with his big hand. As though he was a guardian, he said, “Go.” Corinne was thrilled and quickly sat beside Annie.Jeremy watched until she sat down, and he went to his own seat and pulled his chair to sit elegantly.Annie giggled. “Corinne, finish your meal quicker. We’re going to fly a kite after we finish our breakfast.” Corinne took a sandwich and bit it. “Kite? We’re not riding anymore?” Annie rolled her eyes at Rosie, who sat at the far side, and pouted. “After what happened yesterday, Zeke and the others won’t allow us girls to ride anymore.Luckily, there are some kites here, and we can fly the kite to kill some time before we head back after lunch.” Corinne drank the milk and nodded. “Sure. It’s been quite a while since I flew a kite.” “Me too!” remarked Annie. “I remember the last time I played was during my senior year in high school. I’m not like a certain someone who hasn’t graduated from his senior year yet.” Sunny’s face darkened, and he growled, “Hey, watch it, Annie Levine. I didn’t bother you at all today.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 236-Annie burst into laughter as she hugged her abdomen, her head raised in laughter. “Was I talking about you? I didn’t mention anyone in particular. What makes you think I was talking about you?” Sunni’s eyes widened in anger. “You… Before they could start arguing. Corinne put a stop to it. ‘Alright. Keep quiet and eat your breakfast. Don’t speak when you’re eating, or you might choke yourself.” Annie nodded obediently and listened to what Corinne said. Sunny, on the other hand, looked at Corinne and snorted proudly before he continued eating his

omelet.

Meanwhile, Rosie witnessed everything, and evil consumed her eyes. She had no idea what kind of tricks Corinne pulled to mesmerize Jeremy and control Annie, who had always been spoiled. Even Sunny was under her spell and listened to her.

The situation was dangerous.

Corinne looked pure and naive, but she was a far more powerful adversary than Rosie initially presumed.

The weather was good. The sky was cloudless, and the wind was neither too strong nor too weak; perfect for kite–flying.

Corinne held a swallow kite up high while Annie held the other end of the line and ran. Slowly, the kite rose to the sky.

The kite flew up in the air, and the two girls got together to extend the string even more. It was evident how much fun they were having.

Suddenly, Rosie came over with a butterfly kite and asked Annie with a gentle smile, “Hey, Annie. Can you help me to put this kite up in the air too? I can’t do it alone, and I’m not good at it either.” Annie turned to shoot her a ferocious glare as the smile on her face vanished.

She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “Sorry, I’m not free. Don’t you see I’m busy flying this kite with Corinne? Go figure it out yourself!” Rosie’s face froze. “Umm…” Corinne looked over while she was organizing the kite string. She raised her brow. “Miss Rosie, if you don’t mind, I can help you to hold the kite. You can run and put the kite in the air yourself.” Rosie looked at her in disbelief. “You’re that nice to help me?” Corinne shrugged nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in me.” Rosie revealed her true self to Corinne yesterday, so there was no reason for her to fake it anymore. She would rather put the kite up in the air than let Corinne help her. Hence, she walked away by herself.

Annie was, of course, displeased. “Corinne, why are you talking to her after how she tried to hurt you yesterday?” Corinne narrowed her eyes and said, “I think she’s up to something. If we don’t go along with her, #t’ll be harder to tell what she’s trying to do.” Up to something? Annie looked at Corinne and asked, “What? Hasn’t she done enough?” Subsequently, Rosie went to a place further away from Corinne and Annie. She pulled the kite and started to run. At first, the kite flew up a little, but it was not stable. A second later, it dropped to the floor.

Rosie did not give up and continued to run while dragging the kite and looking back. Suddenly, she tripped and fell to the ground, yelping in pain.

She struggled to even get up.

“Help! Someone, help me! Anyone…” Sunny heard this, and he looked over. “Jeremy, Zeke, I think something is happening over there.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 237-With that, Zeke and the others quickly rode their horses to where Rosie was to take a look.

Rosie sat on the grass. Since she wore short pants, her legs were full of scratches and blood.

It was not long until the men arrived.

Sunny was the first one to get down from the horse. He approached her and asked worriedly, “Rosie, what happened to you?”

With tears in her eyes, Rosie whimpered, “Sunny… I fell when I was trying to put the kite up in the air. I think I sprained my leg. It hurts so badly…” Sunny squatted to help her and examined the bloody wounds on her legs. He furrowed his brow. “Why are you so careless?” Meanwhile, Annie watched what transpired and shot Rosie a look of disdain.

“You were right, Corinne. She is up to something bad,” she remarked. “Hmph!

How hard can it bet for her to get up after falling? Also, calling for help? What is she thinking of? Only an idiot like Sunny will believe her!” Corinne remained calm as she held the kite reel. “Come on, let’s go and take a look.” Being the organizer of this trip, Zeke got down from his horse and asked, “Rosie, how are you feeling? Can you stand?” Rosie shook her head as tears started falling. “Zeke, I’m so stupid. I don’t even know how to put the kite up in the air by myself…” Zeke frowned. “Why were you playing by yourself?” Sunny’s eyebrows furrowed as he, too, asked, “That’s right. Why were you playing by yourself? Why didn’t you ask someone to help you?” Rosie looked down and sighed helplessly. “I went to Corinne and Annie to help me, but they ignored me. Maybe I offended Corinne after yesterday’s misunderstanding, and Corinne disallowed Annie to help me.

“Sigh… I envy how Corinne and Annie flew their kite together. If Luna was here, I wouldn’t be so lonely, and I would have someone to fly the kite with.” Just a few words, yet she managed to tell everyone how Corinne and Annie boycotted her.

Sunny looked regretful when Rosie mentioned his sister’s name. After what happened yesterday, he doubted Rosie’s ulterior motives. At this moment, all that was left in his heart was sympathy for Rosie.

Rosie was his sister’s best friend. If his sister knew Rosie was hurt, she would be very worried.

Just then, Annie walked over with her hands on her waist. She happened to have heard everything Rosie said and thus retorted, “She’s lying, Uncle Jeremy.

Corinne did offer to put the kite up with her, but Rosie rejected her and even gave her a fierce look!” Rosie’s eyes reddened as she looked at Annie and said, with a voice sounding frail, “Annie, I know you’re a kind and pure girl. I also understand that you’re trying to protect Corinne, but you can’t defame me just because you want to protect her. You two ignored me just now. Otherwise, how do you explain why I’m here all alone and in this situation?” Annie was disgusted with Rosie’s ability to twist the truth.” Hmph! This isn’t the first time you cried wolf. This is a big world with various unexplainable mysteries, yet this is the first time I knew a woman who can tell a lie without feeling guilty about it!” “Annie, I know I made a mistake yesterday, and I was wrong. But I didn’t lie today,” Rosie sobbed vehemently while leaning on Sunny’s shoulder as if someone framed her for doing something she did not.

The sight of a tear–ridden Rosie, however, only amused Annie, and she turned and looked at Jeremy, who was still on his horse.

“Uncle Jeremy, you mustn’t believe this woman. She’s doing this on purpose as if she’s not afraid of all the chaos she created and tried to defame Corinne!” Jeremy looked at Annie and at Corinne, who stood quietly not far from him.

Finally, he glared at Annie sharply.

He raised his chin and said to Sunny, “Help her get up on her quest.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 238-Sunny nodded and helped Rosie, who was leaning on his shoulder crying, to get up on her feet.

Rosie stopped crying and struggled to stand with Sunny’s help, but her right leg was in pain, and she just could not stand. Her face turned from pale to green, and her forehead was beaded with sweat. This was not something she could pull off with an act.

Sunny pitied Rosie, seeing her suffer so much pain.

“Rosie, you could’ve asked me to fly the kite with you if no one wanted to. Why do you have to act so tough?”

Rosie endured the pain and said feebly, “Sunny, you’re a boy. You won’t like to play with a kite; it’s too childish. Besides, I don’t think it was going to be that hard, so I thought of trying it myself. Heh… I thought too highly of myself. I’m just too stupid.” Sunny sighed compassionately and placed Rosie’s arm on his shoulder. “Alright, Rosie, stop blaming yourself. I’ll help you get up on the horse to get back to the resort so we can have the doctor examine your injury. It’s not good if you hurt your bones. That’s going to affect your performance.” Sunny requested Zeke to come over to help him. Both of them carried Rosie and let her ride the horse. Later, Sunny led the horse and walked quickly in the direction of the resort.

Zeke and the others followed suit. It seemed like Rosie’s condition was rather serious this time, and they hoped it would not be too detrimental.

Jeremy remained in the same spot. As he was on the horse, he looked down at Corinne and Annie. “You two, put the kite away. Don’t fall.” “It’s so flat here, so we’re not going to fall,” mumbled the irked Annie. “Ugh. Why does something bad always happen when Rosie is around? I just want to enjoy and relax by flying the kite. This is so disappointing!” Corinne passed the kite reel to Annie and patted her shoulder to console her, “It’s alright. Let’s pull the kite back. We can play again next time.” Annie nodded and sighed. “I guess we don’t have a choice.” Jeremy rode the horse to the front and stopped when he reached Corinne’s side. “Corinne,” he called out to her.

“Huh?” Corinne looked up. “Are you calling me, Mister?” Jeremy leaned forward and extended his hand to her, saying, Give me your hand.” Baffled, Corinne became guarded. “What are you trying to do?” Jeremy frowned. “You can ride back together with me. You don’t want to?” Corinne immediately shook her head. “No. I’m going to wait for Annie and walk back with her.” Jeremy’s expression darkened.

Annie, pulling the kite back, overheard this and quickly said with a smirk, “Corinne, you don’t have to wait for me. I’m thinking of having the kite up in the air for a while longer!” Corinne’s lips stretched into a line. “Then I’ll stay with you.” Annie waved her off. “It’s fine, you don’t have to.” As she released her hand, the reel turned quickly, and the kite flew higher. All the work she did was for nothing.

Finally, she had the reel under her control and chuckled. “I think it’s going to take a while for me to reel the string back. Corinne, you can go back with Uncle Jeremy.” Corinne knew Annie was creating a ‘chance‘ for her and Jeremy to be together, but she could not tell her that they did not need this supposed ‘alone time‘.

Helplessly, she said, ‘ Well, be careful. Don’t let the string cut your hand.” Annie nodded happily. “I know!” Thus, Corinne reached out to hold Jeremy’s large, calloused hand reluctantly.

Jeremy pulled her up, and she got on without any difficulty.

Jeremy did not usher the horse to chase after the others. They rode slowly.

Both of them sat on the same saddle, and Corinne sat in the front. That being said, she could feel Jeremy’s toned chest against her back, and the sensation was…odd.

“Mister, are you in no hurry to go look at your old–time friend, Miss Rosie’s injury?” “I’m not a doctor. Even if I’m there, I can’t treat her,” Jeremy answered.

Corinne smiled awkwardly. “You got a point!” Jeremy did not say anything else.

Suddenly, Corinne asked, “Mister, what’s the name of your horse?” “Moon Chaser.” Moon Chaser? Like, chasing the moon?

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 239-There was a moon motif in Jeremy’s horse’s name. Was that moon referring to the apple of his eye, Luna Rivera?

Chasing the moon, and chasing the apple of his eye… Jeremy leaned forward to her ear and asked when he noticed Corinne was zoning out, “What’s wrong?” Corinne regained her senses and stroked the horse’s mane. Nothing. This is a good horse.” “You like to ride horses?”

“Yeah. It’s not bad,” Corinne replied.

Suddenly, Jeremy placed his hand on her waist and whispered into her ear, “You didn’t have fun this time. We can come here by ourselves in the future.” Corinne was stunned. ‘Is he confused or something? There are only two months left in the contract, and there won’t be any ‘ us‘ afterward.‘ He then grabbed her waist as though checking the quality of a product. He then teased, “Why are you so thin when you always eat a lot?” Corinne was displeased to have heard this. “I don’t care.” Jeremy chuckled. “Eat more. It’s nicer to touch if you’re pier 730 fleshier.” Corinne blushed as she grabbed his hand. “Hey, control yourself, and take your hand off!” “Stop moving, or I’ll show you know how I can’t control myself.” Corinne was speechless. She knew riding on the same horse with him was never a good idea.

In the resort.

Rosie and the others were back in her room.

Jeremy and Corinne arrived late.

There were a group of people by Rosie’s bed, watching as the doctor examined her injury.

Once the doctor finished examining her leg, he solemnly reported, “You should bring her to the hospital for surgery. I don’t have the appropriate equipment, so I can’t give her a full examination. But based on my experiences, her ligament must have torn.” Her ligament was torn?

Rosie was in so much pain that her face paled. Nonetheless, she feebly asked as she leaned on the headrest, “My ligament is torn? Doctor, can I…still dance?” The doctor’s expression grew troubled. “Well, if you recuperate, you can surely do so. But perhaps you won’t dance as flexibly as previously.” Rosie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I’m a professional ballet dancer! If I can’t dance perfectly, what’s the meaning for me to live?” “Rosie, don’t be upset,” comforted Sunny. “Let’s get you to the hospital first.

Maybe it’s not going to affect anything once. you recover.” Zeke, too, consoled her and went to contact the nearest hospital to have them send an ambulance over.

Rosie looked very distraught as she wept to herself for a while and took out her phone to call someone.

The person on the other end of the line answered.

“Hello, Luna. I don’t think I can make it anymore,” she said weakly. “If there’s an afterlife, let’s be best friends again. Take care of yourself…” As she hung up the phone, she passed out due to the pain.

Shocked, Sunny held Rosie’s shoulder and shook her vehemently. “Rosie, what happened? Wake up! Doctor, check on her!” The doctor approached and opened Rosie’s eyelid. “She’s fine. She passed out due to the pain, and she was too emotional.

Still, it’s best to send her to the hospital as soon as possible.” Right then, Sunny’s phone rang. One glance at the caller ID shocked him, but he quickly accepted the call. “Anya, I’m with Rosie! Don’t worry. She fell and hurt herself, and she’s a bit emotional, but she’s not in danger!

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her. Oh! Jeremy is here too. Okay Sunny turned and walked toward Jeremy with his phone.

Jeremy, my sister is on the phone, and she wants to talk to you.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 240-Jeremy did not hesitate as he took the phone from Sunny. He turned and walked out of the room to talk on the phone.

Corinne looked back and watched as he walked out. She raised her brow while thinking of something.

Zeke, who had gone out to contact the hospital, came in and informed everyone, “Don’t worry, the hospital is sending an ambulance over. Rosie will receive treatment soon.” Sunny looked worried as he gazed at the unconscious Rosie. ” Rosie, did you hear that? The ambulance is going to be here soon. It’s going to be fine!”

However, there was no reaction from Rosie.

The doctor went over to check Rosie’s condition and massaged her temple.

Only then did she wake up with a grimace.

Although she was awake, she looked weak and despairing as if she had lost her desire to live. “My leg is done for. Why are you guys trying to save me? Just let me die…” “Rosie, don’t think like that,” consoled Sunny. “You’re my sister’s best friend!

She’s going to be sad seeing you like this.” Rosie’s eyes looked more spirited when Sunny mentioned his sister. She then sighed and said sarcastically, “Luna is the only one who cares about me ” Sunny said with assurance, “Rosie, everyone here cares about you. Am I right, Zeke?” Zeke nodded faintly and smiled. “That’s right, Rosie. Just relax and listen to the doctor. Get the right treatment for your leg. Once you recover, you can find the best physical therapist to improve your flexibility. We believe you’ll still be the best ballet dancer.” Sunny nodded vehemently. “Yes. Zeke is right!” Despite that, Rosie shook her head weakly. “Zeke, you don’t have to comfort me. The doctor already said I’m not going to get my flexibility back.” Zeke smiled bitterly. He had no idea what to say anymore since Rosie was in such a negative state of mind.

Just then, Tommy knocked on the door and came in.

“Miss Rosie, after much consideration, my employer decided to temporarily put on hold his investment withdrawal. He’ll make his final decision after the next quarterly financial report is released. Please focus on the recovery of your leg, and don’t feel stressed about anything else.” Spirit returned to Rosie’s sullen face after hearing the news. Really?” Tommy nodded seriously. “Yes. My employer has passed his instruction.” Finally, Rosie felt comforted and felt hopeful again. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she felt touched by the news. “I know… I know Jeremy still thinks of me as his friend. Tommy, please thank Jeremy on my behalf. Tell him, my family won’t let him down when he receives the next quarterly financial report!” “Okay. I will,” Tommy replied.

After that, he turned to glance around the room. Finally, he gazed at Corinne, who had made herself less noticeable by standing in the corner. He approached her and said with respect, “Ma’am, please follow me. Mister Jeremy has instructed me to send you and Miss Annie back home.” Corinne looked at Tommy and asked calmly, “What about him?

“He’s still on the phone. He has to stay here to accompany Miss Rosie at a person’s request, but he’ll return once Miss Rosie receives the necessary treatment. He said you don’t have to wait for him.” Jeremy was still on the phone?
