Ch. 251..260
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 251-Only Annie would speak a few words with Tommy from time to ease the awkward, cold atmosphere.
The car arrived at the Levine family mansion, and because Annie was sitting in the middle, Corinne consciously got out of the car to make way for her.
Annie got out of the car and asked Corinne and Jeremy if they wanted to head inside for a moment and sit. Both of them declined the invitation unanimously.
The difference was only that Jeremy refused directly, and Corinne was a little more hesitant.
Annie had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to Corinne before she obediently walked back into her home.
Corinne got into the car again, still seated near the window as she put on her earphones and continued to close her eyes and rest.
The man finally spoke and asked her in a calm tone, “What are you listening to?” Corinne closed her eyes and simply answered, “A song.
“What song is it?” “A pop song.” “…” Jeremy’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightened, and he stopped talking.
Corinne did not open his eyes to look at him either, At the Holdens‘ estate.
After arriving home, Corinne went straight back to the room, went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into home clothes, and prepared to take a good night’s sleep.
The past two days have been very unpleasant, and she was very tired.
When she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Jeremy was sitting on the rattan chair outside the balcony of the room smoking a cigarette.
The smoke lingered and drifted with the wind, adding a bit of soft beauty to the man’s cold and handsome side face.
Hearing the opening of the bathroom door, Jeremy turned his head and glanced over. Seeing that Corinne was about to go to bed, the man frowned with dignity and said in a deep voice, “Dry your hair before going to bed.” “Oh.” Corinne stopped herself from climbing onto the bed and obediently responded as she got up and went back to the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of a hair dryer was heard coming from the bathroom.
Jeremy’s expression darkened. The little rascal obediently obeyed his words, but why did that make him feel even more unhappy?
Half an hour later, Corinne dried her hair and came out, ready to go to bed again- “Come here. Pour me a glass of water,” rang the man’s voice again. This time, it sounded rather commanding.
Corinne frowned irritably, took a deep breath, then got up and poured a glass of water for him.
She placed the glass on the table in front of him before she silently turned away.
Before she could leave, however, the man’s rough hand pulled her back by the wrist.
Due to inertia and the man’s strength, Corinne was forced to sit on the man’s muscular thigh, his arms wrapped around her waist–preventing her from leaving.
She looked at the man, dissatisfied. “Mister, what can I do for you?” Jeremy narrowed his narrow, long handsome eyes, and he slowly exhaled a thin puff of smoke toward the girl’s small face aloofly. “Corinne, what’s up with your attitude?” Corinne frowned. “Mister, I’m just being obedient to you. Isn’t my attitude good enough? Are you expecting me, even after I gave you a glass of water, to kneel and give you another glass?”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 252-The inthe scale tone was not friendly at all. She was not in a good mood, no doubt.
What happened to Conones besitys ebrows work slightly “Okay, but what are you throwing at me?” Soome speed beer bands Mister, I’m not throwing a temper tantrum. I just think that when no present, we don’t need to act as a husband and wife, nor do we need to cultivate a relationship then and women are different, and we should consciously keep a distance.”
sher all Anys, Jeremy’s true love, was coming back, and it seemned that the man had not moved on from her, 199 Conne was not interested in meddling in other people’s affairs. Even if she was misunderstood as mokest, she would never actually stoop to being one.
So metance, Sunny and Rosie saw her as such, so they would trouble her repeatedly, sely what tapered that fateful night a few days ago, she had to give him a little hand because to fret owned. She would ease that memory and seal it forever as if it never happened.
when she did not need to act, she had to keep a distance from the man so that she wwwwwnwarded and have a clear conscience They were just paying pretend, never truly as a genuine spouse to one another.
Men and women wses offerent, so she needed to keep a distance These few words made Jeremy’s gloomy eyes even darker. Was the little rascal still thinking he was just playing his role nonchalantly?
Konly she could pay attention and feel, she would truly know what he thought of hert Yes you distance, you say? The man curled his lips coldly. “Alright. In that case, Miss Corinne, please head out and don’t sleep in my room. After all, men and women are different, aren’t they?” ‘Ocf I’m going?
Come nodded, pushed away bis arms that were wrapped around her waist, and quickly rolled or indeed, she headed out and slept in the quest room alone, Did the fere rascal actually leave?
The blue veins on Jeremy’s forehead bulged. He stubbed out the cigarette butt, picked up the glass of water on the table heavily, and drank it down in one gulp.
His face sank as he lit another cigarety and took a deep breath before he exhaled the thick puff of cigarette smoke irritatedly.
Wor the hell was that rascal doing?
Suddenly, the sound of a phone vibrating caught the man’s attention.
Jeremy took a breath of smoke, narrowed his eyes, and looked over… it was the mobile phone on the bedside table that was vibrating. It was his mobile phone, which was given to the little rascal a few days ago.
Jeremy stubbed out the cigarette, got up, went to pick up the phone, and answered the call.
It was Annie calling.
“Uncle, have you and Aunt Corinne gotten home yet?” “Mh.” “Then…is she beside you now?” Thinking of the little rascal’s nonsensical behavior, Jeremy’s face darkened.
“She’s asleep. What do you want from her?” After making sure that Corinne would not hear her Annie was relieved and comfortably spoke without being hushed. “Oh, I’m fine with Aunt Corinne! I just want to ask you, my uncle…is something wrong between you both? It was so tense in the car, so what’s the deal?” Jeremy frowned slightly and said coldly, “Don’t meddle in the affairs of adults.” Annie snorted, undismayed. “Uncle, in terms of age, I’m half a year older then Aunt Corinne, okay? Besides, I’ve been married once. You are much richer!
Uncle, tell me what’s going on. Maybe I can help you look better into the situation!” Jeremy pinched his glabella and said impatiently, “It’s okay. She lost her temper for no reason.
“That’s not true! We girls will never get angry for no reason!” Annie immediately objected. “It’s even more impossible for a wise goddess like Aunt Corinne, so there must be a reason!” Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “What do you think is the reason?” Annie thought for a while. “Let me think about it… “Uncle, have you ever confessed your love to Aunt Corinne?” Jeremy fell silent.
Annie sighed helplessly. “I knew it! Uncle, a straight steely man like you will definitely not confess your love formally, but if you don’t, how will Aunt Corinne know that you like her?” Like her?
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 253-Jeremy cleared his throat after being told off by his niece. “If you can easily see something, why do you need to say it formally?” Annie said affirmatively, “Hey, it’s very necessary! We girls hate ambiguous relationships the most! If you don’t express your intentions but still make intimate gestures to others, girls will feel that it’s irresponsible teasing and feel as if we’re not respected, so of course we’ll be angry!” Jeremy hesitated slightly. “She’s already angry. What should I do?” Annie was stunned. Was Jeremy…actually asking her for a solution?
This was a first; her all–powerful uncle had never done this before, and she felt a sense of importance.
“Duh, you have to make up for it as much as possible! Pick a suitable time, formally express your heart to the other party, let her know that she’s the one you’re dead set on, and give her enough sense of security! Pay attention! There must be a sense of ceremony! Let me emphasize this, there must be a sense of ceremony! There must be a sense of ceremony! No girl can refuse a ceremonial confession from a handsome guy!
“You’re right to place your trust in me, Uncle. Also, I think you should-” Annie was still babbling away on the other end of the phone when Jeremy hung up the phone.
The man took off his shirt irritably, walked into the bathroom, and took a cold shower.
Jeremy came out of the bedroom and asked a maid passing by, “Which room is she in?” The maid replied respectfully, “Sir, Ma’am went to the guest room on the south side of the third floor. She told us to bring food in just now, so she’s probably finished and gone to bed at this moment.” Jeremy went up to the third floor and found the guest room as the maid said.
The man turned the doorknob, but it did not move.
She locked the door.
Who was the little rascal guarding herself against? The answer was self– evident.
Jeremy ordered with a sullen face, “Go get the key.” “Yes, sir.” When Jeremy opened the door and entered the guest room, Corinne was indeed asleep.
She had a slight frown even as she slept, and he wondered if she dreamed of something unpleasant.
The man sat on the side of the bed, pointed at the center of her eyebrows with his long fingers, rubbed gently, and smoothed the wrinkles between the girl’s eyebrows.
Perhaps sensing someone close by, Corinne opened her eyes and woke up.
No doubt was she startled to see Jeremy at her bedside.
Just as she was about to ask him why he came in, Jeremy bent down and lifted her–still wrapped in the quilt–and walked out with her in his arms, saying, “I’m going on a business trip early tomorrow morning, and I’ll be back next weekend.
Corinne blinked.
Did this man come to tell her this? He could have just said it! Why the need to lift her?
The man carried her back to his bedroom, placed her safely on the bed, and then said, “When I come back, let’s have a good chat and talk about our relationship.” Corinne was actually very sleepy, but because of his words, she was so surprised that she sobered a little.
“Sleep now. Sweet dreams.” The man did not let her speak as he adjusted the quilt on her, then turned and left the room.
Corinne was stunned for a long time, and it took a while before she could finally sleep.
As he said, Jeremy indeed had left for his business trip and had not returned for the past few days.
Because of this, Corinne had the space to do things of her own. She got rid of the bodyguard Jeremy arranged for her, went to Newmoon Group to find Xante and Aaron for a few days, and dealt with some urgent work that only she could complete.
In this way, a week passed quickly.
At two o’clock in the afternoon on the weekend, Annie called her.
“Aunt Corinne, where are you?” “I’m at home.” “Today is Uncle Jeremy’s birthday! What gift did you prepare for him?” Corinne, who was watching the television, was startled. “… I forgot. I wasn’t prepared.” “What?! You can’t be not ready for it! There’s still time, so let’s go shopping and buy gifts for him!”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 254-After hanging up the phone, Corinne lazily leaned on the sofa and continued to watch the television as she ate her potato chips.
20 minutes later, Annie hastily arrived at the Holdens estate and dragged her into the car, insisting on taking her shopping to buy Jeremy a birthday present.
Corinne felt helpless. Why did she need to buy Jeremy a birthday present?
She was just an extra, playing the role of his wife with zero pay, yet all of a sudden, she had to give him a gift?
No matter how she looked at it, this felt unreasonable.
Downtown Commercial Street.
In a famous designer store in VK Mall, Annie sat in front of a glass counter, carefully selecting the dazzling array of delicate accessories.
“Aunt Corinne, what kind of gift do you think Uncle Jeremy will like more?” Corinne stood aside and tried on a pair of sunglasses disinterestedly and replied casually while looking in the mirror, “I don’t know.” Annie frowned and turned to look at her, showing a troubled expression. “Aunt Corinne, aren’t you curious about my uncle at all? Don’t you observe his preferences?” Corinne’s slender fingers hooked down the sunglasses on her face, and she raised her eyebrows.” Why should I observe his preferences? What kind of rare animal is your uncle? Will studying him win the Nobel Prize in Science?” Annie was stunned. She had never met a woman who had such a sassy attitude toward her uncle.
“As expected of you, Aunt Corinne. It’s this kind of indifference that makes people want to conquer you; no wonder Uncle Jeremy can’t stop wanting you!” ‘Can’t stop‘?
The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched. When did Mister even want her? Annie just liked to assume the bigger picture!
“Aunt Corinne, if you’re too lazy to choose a gift, just buy a piece of clothing for Uncle Jeremy. Anyway, as long as you chose and bought it, he’ll surely like it!
Oh, that reminds me of a very stylish men’s clothing brand. Let’s go, I’ll take you there!” As soon as Corinne took off the sunglasses and put them back, she was dragged away by Annie and into a designer–brand men’s clothing store.
“Aunt Corinne, what do you think of Uncle’s suit?” Looking at the finely tailored high–end men’s clothes, Corinne was not impressed at all. She shook her head and said, “I think the clothes in his house are similar to these styles, and there are too many to wear. He has no shortage of clothes, so he doesn’t need to buy the same style again.” “Well, Uncle Jeremy definitely has no shortage of clothes to wear, but if you give him the gift, the feeling must be different! Aunt Corinne, it’s your husband’s birthday, and as his wife, you can’t be empty handed, right?” Annie’s words reminded Corinne that she was playing the role of Jeremy’s wife, so she still needed to do some superficial work.
Well, she should give him a birthday gift casually so as not to be caught by the Holden family!
Corinne frowned and suddenly glanced at the billboard that said ‘Clearance Discount‘ in the men’s clothing store opposite for 30 dollars each.
Her eyes lit up, and she walked over to pick up a white T–shirt from the discount area. “This one, then!” Following her, Annie stared at the rather childish–looking white T–shirt in Corinne’s hand, and the corners of her lips twitched.
The design of the T–shirt was very simple and common, but there was an endearing little milk cat printed on it, which was way too cute.
“Aunt Corinne, isn’t this…too cute? It’s not suitable for a mature man of my uncle’s age, now is it?” Corinne disagreed. “Your uncle dresses too lifelessly, always in suits and leather shoes, looking. like a serious veteran cadre. This one can just change his style and add some affinity to him!” Annie muttered, “But this one is, too…” Corinne did not care whether or not the clothes suited Jeremy’s taste. Anyway, she reciprocated with a gift. Whether he liked it or not was his business!
“Miss, please wrap this up for me!” “Okay. Please head to the front cashier to make your payment.” Corinne took out 50 dollars from her pocket and bought the discounted T–shirt.
She deliberately did not use her mobile phone to pay and took out the cash on her to make payment. After all, she was using Jeremy’s phone at the moment, and that would mean the amount would be deducted from his card if she used the phone to pay.
It would be somewhat unethical to use his money to buy a gift meant for him, so Corinne made an exception and used her own money.
Receiving the change from the cashier, Corinne slenderly flicked the banknotes with her delicate fingers and said to Annie, “The presents are bought! Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a coffee!” Annie felt ashamed. It was hard to imagine what kind of expression Jeremy would have when he saw the gift Aunt Corinne bought for him.
UU Cafe.
“Aunt Corinne, I realized that you are very different from other women!” remarked Annie as she drank her coffee.
Corinne sucked a tapioca pearl with the straw in her mouth, chewed slowly, and said casually, “Is that so? What’s different?” Annie looked at her in amazement. “Other women would seize every opportunity to spend their money to please Uncle Jeremy, but you merely bought him a 30– dollar t–shirt! How is it that you’re able to make him care about you? It’s just too wicked!” Mister Jeremy…cared about her? Did he?
Corinne laughed dryly. “30 dollars is also a present. It’s the thought that counts!” Annie looked puzzled again. “But shouldn’t we all be thinking about how to win our boyfriend’s heart? If you fool him like this, won’t you be afraid that he’ll change his mind?” Corinne raised her eyes. Her carefree gaze turned steely as she looked at Annie and spoke to he
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 255-“In this world, two things can never be grasped. One is time, and the other is a human’s heart. If the other person’s heart is no longer with you, no matter what you do to please them, their heart will never be yours. Why, then, should you spend so much energy doing something so futile? It’s better to do a good job in your own business, improve yourself, and let yourself be the one who holds the initiative.” Annie was caught off–guard, and the confusion in her eyes was replaced with admiration. “Aunt Corinne, what you said is so philosophical! I want to learn from you! Don’t fret about men anymore and just focus on your career!”
Corinne pinched her glabella, fearing that Annie would get the wrong idea and thus patiently explained, “That’s not the case. It’s good to fall in love and enrich your emotional life, but remember to never surrender yourself easily, let alone entrust your future to a man, wronging yourself to please a man. Understand?” Annie nodded, feeling wholly inspired. “Yes, I understand! Thank you for your advice, Aunt Corinne!” Corinne did not know if Annie truly understood, so she could only stop talking, lowered her head, and continued to sip her coffee.
‘What could I advise on? I’ve never been in a relationship myself, and I was just talking nonsense based on my feelings.
‘Annie, on the other hand, is an easily impressed girl. I hope my words can give her a little more to think about so that she won’t fall in love so quickly after meeting a man with sweet nothings.‘ All of a sudden, her phone rang.
Corinne took out her phone and looked at it and realized it was Jeremy’s new number.
Well, it was he who gave her the phone in her hand as well as its SIM card, while he went ahead and got a new number for himself.
After answering the call, the man’s deep voice rang through the device. “Where are you?” Corinne sipped coffee and replied, “Mister, I’m in a shopping mall in the city center.” “With who?” “Annie.” The man said, “Give me a specific location, and I’ll send someone to pick you up.” Corinne blinked. “Mister, are you back from your business trip?” “Well, I just got off the plane.” “Mister, you don’t need to send someone to pick me up. Annie is driving, so she’ll take me home.” Jeremy was silent for two seconds before he replied, “In that case, both of you come to Lunar Century Manor after shopping. I have something to tell you.” Lunar Century Manor? Could it be that the man was going to hold a birthday party for himself?
Thinking of meeting his relatives and friends again, Corinne frowned. “Can I not go-” “No!” The man seemed to have predicted her intentions and interrupted her almost seamlessly.” You must come. I want to see you.” Corinne fell silent, but for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
Did Jeremy just say that he wanted to see her?
Why did this man, who was always so calm and composed, say so urgently that he wanted to see her?
She remembered that he had told her before he went on his business trip that he would have a good talk with her when he came back regarding their relationship.
What did Jeremy want to talk about? What about their relationship that needed to be discussed?
He was acting strange. Could it be that he wanted to… Annie suddenly got close to the phone and said loudly, “Don’t worry, Uncle! I’ll bring Corinne to you!
As soon as Corinne hung up the phone at work, Annie was on her toes again.
“Now that we’ve finished gift–buying, you should also buy yourself beautiful clothes, Aunt Corinne! When he comes back from a business trip, you two will be more in love than newlyweds, so you have to dress up to see him!” A short separation would make them more in love than a newlywed? Corinne was dumbfounded. By the way, why do you carry a camera with you?” Annie just took out a professional video camera from her bag and directed it at Corinne. “Oh, it’s for a vlog,” she replied with an impish smile. “I’m recording my daily life and will be posting it on VeeTube!” The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched. “Do you need such professional equipment for video blogging?” “Well, it has a better resolution!” Annie had already predicted what was going to happen today, so she specially prepared the camera in advance. She wanted to record the important moment of Uncle Jeremy confessing to Corinne as a souvenir and as blackmail toward Jeremy when she needed it!
Hahaha!
Met with Annie’s enthusiastic persistence, Corinne went to a women’s clothing store to try on a cream–white dress. To match the dress, the sales assistant placed a simple yet exquisite diamond hairpin on her hair.
Annie held up the camera and stared at Corinne blankly, “Corinne, you look so beautiful!” Corinne felt that it was a bit pretentious to dress like this and wanted to take it off. Alas, Annie disallowed all attempts, After paying the bill quickly, Annie pulled Corinne away from the shopping mall and drove to Lunar Century Manor
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 256-Lunar Century Manor.
Hastily, Annie gave her car keys to the valet to park her car so she could film Corinne with her phone.
“Aren’t you supposed to take a video of yourself to record your daily vlog?” Corinne felt rather helpless. “Why do you keep filming me instead?” Annie giggled. “That’s because you’re too pretty, and I just can’t help myself!” She wanted to film Corinne getting out of the car, when she would then see Jeremy, and the entire process when Jeremy would confess to her. She wanted
to make it into a short film that would impress everyone when she would post it on her social media account, wanting everyone to be jealous of them.
Corinne was at a loss for words at Annie’s behavior. She massaged her glabella to ease the tension she felt before she decided to ignore Annie and walked into the manor by herself.
To enter the manor, people were required to walk past an arch embellished with Moonstones. After she walked past it, a breeze blew at her, carrying a rather fragrant smell.
Corinne’s pupils trembled. The view in the manor stunned her.
Lunar Century Manor looked different every time she came.
At this moment, it was filled with pink tulips that were not there before. They were everywhere, and the flowers swayed as the wind blew them and matched the color of the sunset.
“Corinne, why did you stop?” Annie came after her and was too shocked by the view she saw. “Oh, my god! It’s so beautiful!” Jeremy truly knew how to impress a girl, especially after he found a girl that he truly liked.
Every girl in this world would find this view impressive and enchanting.
Corinne snapped out of her trance and narrowed her beautiful–looking eyes.
It was not tulip season, and Lunar Century Manor used to plant plenty of roses and green plants. Obviously, these tulips were cultivated in the greenhouse. It must have been difficult to have them moved here without ruining them for such a large quantity.
Among the flowers, there was a walking path that allowed people to walk through the flowers.
Corinne thought about it and walked along the path and had herself surrounded by the flowers.
Ecstatic, Annie shot many scenes of the flowers before chasing after Corinne and continued to film her. She could barely wait for the grand finale when her uncle would appear!
Being a smart girl, Corinne knew something special was about to happen when she saw this scene …and it seemed like she was the main character.
Since she and Annie got down from the car, there was no one else except for the valet. It was obvious that someone had cleared the venue.
As she walked along the pathway, she saw a man standing at the end… It was none other than Jeremy.
He stood with his back facing her, dressed in a finely crafted formal suit that perfectly embodied his perfect figure.
When he heard footsteps coming from behind, he slowly turned around. His face looked as handsome as before.
Being roughly less than three feet apart, their eyes met.
Corinne’s heart skipped a beat, and she wondered if that was because she had drunk too much coffee.
Jeremy could tell Corinne was nervous. He curled his thin lips and said softly, “You’re here.” The dumbstruck Corinne nodded. “Yeah.” At that moment, she noticed a giant pink–colored gift box between her and Jeremy. It was roughly about the height of an average human’s height with a big ribbon on top… Was it a present? Did Jeremy prepare that for her?
If that was the case, Corinne realized it was going to be very embarrassing if she gave Jeremy the T–shirt she bought for just seven dollars.
Jeremy’s gaze softened meaningfully as he walked toward her.
Corinne had a gut feeling that Jeremy…was about to confess to her.
Her heart pounded rapidly, and her mind was in a mess. How was she supposed to react to this sudden change of emotion?!
Out of the blue, the gift box burst open.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 257-Paper confetti flew and scattered on the floor as a thin, well–dressed young woman jumped out of the box with colorful butterflies. The sight was surreal and magical.
The girl ran toward Jeremy excitedly and buried herself in a hug fondly. “Jeremy, I’m finally back! Thank you for preparing this for me; I like it so much. It’s so touching!” Corinne froze at the sight as her expression dulled. Suddenly, the butterflies she felt earlier…felt like a joke.
Anya had come back.
Every pink tulip in Lunar Century Manor was blooming for her. The reason Jeremy had asked her to come here was most likely to inform her that the apple of his eye had returned. Thus, she had to behave when she was acting as his wife to avoid causing misunderstandings with the girl he loved dearly. That must be it.
She understood.
For a moment there, she truly believed this day was all about her. She thought Jeremy was going tó confess his love to her.
Hilarious. The man told her that he could provide her with anything except for love, did he not? His heart only belonged to the girl he loved dearly.
Just like the meaning of the tulip, perfect and deep love.
A butterfly flew over and lingered around Corinne as though reminding her that she was a third- wheeler here and that she should leave.
Not too far away, Annie was stupefied. She was still holding her phone to film the moment Jeremy was supposed to confess his love to Corinne.
She frowned vehemently.
What…the heck was that? What was Jeremy doing?
Why did Anya choose to come back on this particular day?
Wait. Where did Corinne go?
At this second, Annie realized Corinne was nowhere to be found. She moved her phone around and still could not spot Corinne.
She quickly searched for her number and called it. Alas, what only greeted fier was a cold message from the service provided.
“The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again…” Corinne was gone.
Night fell.
At the embankment of the Yonder River in the city center… This was the busiest area of the New Capital City with numerous skyscrapers.
The night views. were spectacular, especially on this particular night.
The Century Bank Tower had a large LED advertising panel on the exterior building. Someone. rented the space to put his confession out publicly on repeat.
[I love you, An] The same was done with the building next to it, though the wording was different.
[Welcome back, My Princess An!] Expensive blue fireworks were released into the sky, and they went out for a very long time. There were also drone performances where it was lined up into a heart with an arrow shooting right through the heart.
Many people such as young couples strolling down the Yonder River, tourists, and some passersby who saw this were jealous and curious as they watched the extravagant confession. The only thing they felt was amazed.
“Oh, wow! I wonder which VIP is confessing his love to his girlfriend.” “Oh, that’s so sweet!” “Sweet, yeah, but I can smell the smell of money burning!” “I heard a mysterious VIP had bought all of the pink tulips cultivated in the greenhouse and had them shipped here to plant in Lunar Century Manor. I bet he’s decorated the venue to confess to his loved one.” “Lunar Century Manor? The confession is made to someone called Princess An.
Could it be Anya Rivera? Is she back?” “Who is Anya Rivera?” “You don’t know who she is? That’s the second daughter of the Riveras. She’s the luckiest girl! Her grandfather is a world–renowned scientist, and her grandmother is a princess from another country. Her father is a world champion, and her mother is an award–winning best actress. Her elder brother is always in the top three of the world’s richest men, and her younger brother is the school hunk. She’s got everything since she was born!” “That’s not all. She’s very pretty, too!” “It’s not weird if a man is willing to splurge a large amount of money to confess his love to her, then. I mean, she’s got everything that she wanted from a young age. It’s going to be hard to please her!” Corinne sat on the bench of the bund of the Yonder River, enjoying a can of soft drink while looking up in the sky to enjoy the drone performances, blue fireworks, and the cheesy confession on the exterior building.
Her eyes looked cold and distant while the corner of her lips quirked upward.
What an expensive way to confess one’s love for someone.
Jeremy certainly put in a lot of effort to please the girl he loved dearly.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 258-On the other side of the sky, a bright full moon hung in the sky as if the lively confessions had nothing to do with it.
Corinne took out her phone and took a photo of the moon to post it to her social media.
[The moon is so beautiful tonight.] Just a few seconds after it was posted, a friend with the nickname An liked the post. She even commented on the post, [Yeah. I think so, too.]
Corinne never recalled having an acquaintance with that name in her account, so she clicked the profile.
It was a girl smiling peacefully and cheerfully at the camera.
She continued to look at the post the girl posted. From there, she concluded that this was Anya Rivera and her social media account.
It was only then Corinne realized she was using Jeremy’s phone, and the social media account logged into the phone was Jeremy’s. She actually posted to Jeremy’s social media account Instead of hers.
She did not think twice when she posted that and did not notice that was not her account.
‘Ugh, forget it. I posted it anyway. It’s just a photo of a moon, no big deal,‘ she thought.
Followingly, she closed the social media app to make a call, and the other end answered instantly.
She instructed faintly, “Hey, Aaron. Come pick me up at Yonder River.” “Yes, ma’am!” After she hung up, she got up and threw the can of soft drink to the rubbish before crossing the street to the opposite side to wait for Aaron to pick her up.
As she was walking, she saw a blind elderly man who seemed to be stopped by an SUV car.
The elderly man had a white cane in his hand. She watched as he helplessly used the white cane to survey the road ahead of him. He navigated to the left and the cane touched an obstacle, and even as he turned to the right, he realized there was another obstacle.
He frowned vehemently as he had no idea where to go, so he extended his hand, wanting to see what it was that was blocking the path.
Corinne took a look and realized the SUV had parked at the tactile paving.
It was very unethical to park at a place like this!
Corinne went over and said, “Sir, there’s a car parked on the tactile paving blocking your way. The owner isn’t in the car now, and there’s no way to move it.
Why don’t you tell me which way you’re heading? I can assist you.” Unexpectedly, the blind elderly man was a hot–tempered person. Once he knew the obstacle that was blocking him was a car, he slammed his cane against the car, causing the glass window of the car to shatter.
Shocked, Corinne’s lips twitched as she never expected to witness this.
This elderly man is ferocious!‘ she thought.
After the blind elderly man finished smashing the car, he knocked his white cane on the ground and said angrily, “Hmph! What kind of ill–mannered person parks on the tactile paving? This’ll teach ‘em a long–lasting lesson to not park like that!” Despite it being wrong to smash someone else’s car, the blind elderly man was not entirely wrong either. Of course, a misdemeanor was a misdemeanor.
Corinne consoled helplessly, “Sir, don’t get so worked up. Maybe the car owner was in a rush and didn’t realize their error
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 259-Corinne’s words did not comfort the blind elderly man, alas.
“Even if they have urgent matters to attend to, it’s still wrong to park the car on the tactile paving. Nowadays, people are only concerned with their own conveniences and refuse to think if their actions will trouble others!” The blind elderly man did have a point.
Corinne sighed and wanted to assist the blind elderly man to walk past the SUV when all of a sudden, someone shrieked, “Hey! What did you guys do?!”
Corinne looked in the direction of the voice and spotted a young girl with purple hair running toward them angrily, holding a selfie stick.
The girl saw the shattered window and immediately snapped crassly, “What the f*ck? The heck, you two! Why did you smash my car?” Corinne had seen this purple–haired girl when she sat at the embankment of Yonder River, and she figured the girl was an influencer.
The purple–haired girl used the lavish confessions at Yonder River as a way to attract viewers by broadcasting them live. She was asking for gifts while chatting with her viewers in a babyish voice.
The blind elderly man was infuriated when he heard the girl’s foul words and stopped.
Although he could not see, his ears were very sensitive. He thus turned to where he believed the influencer was and asked, “So you’re the owner of this car?”*
The girl folded her arms at her chest and answered, “Yes. I just bought this SUV, and the price will scare the hell out of you. Seventy–five thousand dollars! And don’t say it wasn’t you who did it. saw what you did from there. You better pay me for the damage you did!” The blind elderly man was not afraid. “It’s good that you’re here. I’m teaching you a lesson about parking on tactile paving. No matter how expensive the car is, it should be smashed when it’s parked on tactile parking!” However, the girl believed in her innocence and thus retaliated. “It’s my car. I’ll park anywhere I want to. Who cares whether it’s tactile paving or not? I don’t even know what tactile paving, is! Is this road yours? Who gave you authority over it?” The blind elderly man did not expect the influencer to be so unreasonable. He got so worked up that he began panting. “Is this how…your parents raised you?
Is this how they teach you to treat others?!” Worrying about the elderly man’s physical and emotional state, Corinne grabbed the blind elderly man’s arm and stroked his back to help soothe his breathing.
After that, she said to the influencer, “Please calm down. Regardless of what’s happened, you shouldn’t park here. It’s illegal.” The girl scoffed. “Illegal?! don’t see any traffic police here issuing a ticket to me.
Who do you think you are? Who gives you the right to criticize me?” The elderly man could not endure it anymore. He knew Corinne was a kind girl, so he pulled her behind him to avoid getting her involved. He raised his white cane and said to the brash influencer, “Move your car now, and I’ll let it rest.
Otherwise…” “Otherwise, what?” The girl held her chin up and rolled her eyes. “Who do you think you’re scaring? I’m not moving it! F*ck you, blind old man!” This sparked the blind elderly man’s anger. He raised the white cane and wanted to hit the bad- mannered girl with it. “Your parents fail to teach you how to be a decent human. I’m going to do the job for them!” It happened too suddenly, and Corinne failed to stop the blind elderly man.
The girl could see the white cane reaching for her and easily sidestepped it before viciously pushing the old man to the ground, “Trying to hit me? Do you know who I am? I’m a popular influencer with over three hundred thousand followers! You have no right to hit me!” After witnessing what happened, Corinne hurried over and squatted to help the old man. “Sir, are you alright?” Luckily, the old man was not hurt. He was however shocked and had trouble breathing.
At first, Corinne did not want to get involved in any trouble as she was just passing by, but she could not endure it anymore, knowing how terrible the girl was.
She could not face her teacher who had taught her well if she just walked away.
She thus looked at the purple–haired girl. “That’s enough! Move your car now!”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 260-“I’m not moving it! What are you going to do?” The purple–haired girl scanned Corinne arrogantly. It was then she realized Corinne was…very beautiful, and that only made her angrier.
Nevertheless, she reckoned Corinne was not her match as she looked weak and timid.
All of a sudden, she came out with an idea.
She unlocked the phone on her selfie stick and went live, switching up so swiftly and portraying herself as an innocent victim while she complained to her viewers.
“Someone, please help me! I’m in danger! This old man and this girl here smashed my car without any reason, and now, this old man is lying on the ground, trying to scam me. You guys, look at how they’re trying to bully me! Hic, hic…” She deliberately lowered the selfie stick so the angle was at a place where the viewers could not see her car was blocking the tactile paving.
Corinne remained silent while the influencer refused to admit she was wrong.
Anyhow, she helped the blind elderly man up and brought him to some place further and told him to stay still so he would not get hurt if she fought with the influencer.
After that, she turned around and headed back to where the influencer was.
It was torturous for Corinne to continue hearing how the influencer misled her viewers by confounding right and wrong. She thus grabbed the selfie stick from the influencer, broke it into two, and threw them far away along with the influencer’s phone.
“Ah! My phone! My selfie stick!” This infuriated the influencer, so she rolled up her sleeves and cursed, “You got some nerves throwing my phone, you b*tch.
You’re dead! I’m going to beat you!” Immediately, she was not the pitiful girl she was when she was broadcasting herself.
She waved her palm at Corinne, wanting to slap her face…but Corinne easily grabbed the influencer’s wrist and twisted it back.
“Agh!” the purple–haired girl whimpered. “Help me…‘ Corinne raised her brow. “You want to beat me? You got a lot of training to do before you can even touch me!” Despite being in pain, the influencer did not succumb. “I told you, I’m a popular influencer. I have many followers that will protect me! I’m going to make you regret doing this to me!” Corinne was not scared. “I don’t care if you’re an influencer or whatever. You need to learn how to be a decent human being first! Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused to blind people and visually impaired people by parking on the tactile paving? Not to mention, pushing an old man who can’t see to the floor?! Do you think your followers will ‘follow‘ you if they know what kind of person you truly are?” The influencer knew she could not beat Corinne, and what she said was the truth. “I…” Corinne, having run out of patience, questioned the influencer coldly, “I’m asking you one last time.
Are you going to move the car or not?” move! I’ll move it! Let me go. I’ll go move it right away…” The influencer succumbed so Corinne would let her go. As she walked toward her car, however, she kept on thinking about how to get her revenge.
Suddenly, she saw the broken selfie stick, and her eyes reddened. She bent down to pick it up and viciously pointed the sharp end at the blind elderly man to hurt him.
“You blind old man! This is for smashing my car!” It startled Corinne as she dashed toward the blind elderly man to kick the crazy The influencer fell down but quickly got up. influencer.
With her face contorted uglily, she came running with another attempt to attack Corinne and the elderly blind man with the broken selfie stick.
