Ch. 381..390
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 381-‘Does she think she can do whatever she wants here, just because she’s Corinne’s sister?’ thought the two servants.
However, they had been trained, regardless of the situation, not to show their displeasure to guests, so the two of them respectfully led the Carew’s into the mansion.
Sherlyn had been to the mansion’s grounds before with Corinne, but this was her first time stepping into the mansion, so she was looking curiously at everything around her.
However, she did not seem all too happy when she came to the inner courtyard.novelxo.com fast update With the air of the woman of the household, she crossed her arms haughtily and looked down her nose at the inner courtyard’s design. Then, shaking her head, she said, “This mansion isn’t that bad, but can we do something about the old - fashioned design? I don’t like this kind of Victorian-era style of decoration. We need to do some revamping once I move in.
“And that old pine tree over there has grown too big. It’s blocking the sunlight from filtering into the mansion. We’ll need to cut it down in the future. The marble floor tiles on the ground will need to be removed too so we can put some high- grade turf of the same quality as the golf course and plant my favorite flower-roses, of course. After all, only a garden that befits a European royal castle will be suitable for my status as a celebrity!
“And oh, those rustic potted plants over there must also be thrown away, or it’ll affect the overall appearance of the garden.” Lilliana nodded to everything Sherlyn said. “You’re right, Sherlyn. I also think the yard is too plain. It’ll be a pity if we don’t do something about it.” The two servants who were leading the way exchanged glances with each other. They were both annoyed and speechless, wondering what was wrong with Corinne’s family. How could they think about renovating the mansion’s grounds as if they owned the place?
To Sherlyn and Lilliana, it might just be some plain old yard, but to the Holdens, every plant and tree there was a treasure. The 100-year-old pine tree, for example, had been in the family longer than Jeremy had been alive. Then, there were all the rustic potted plants which were all of Greg’s favorites. He spent countless hours, effort, and money to make sure they were all taken care of.
It was obvious to the servants Sherlyn and Lilliana had no idea just how rare some of the orchids in the yard were. The orchids, which were the apples in Greg’s eyes, were even harder to get than gold, and they lived an even more pampered life than some humans in this world! The servants were sure Sherlyn and Lilliana would not live to see another day if they threw the orchids away.
Bowen waited for Sherlyn, Marvin, and Lilliana in the hall, and he immediately walked up to them with a kind smile as soon as he saw the three of them entering.
“Mister Carew, Missus Carew, and Miss Carew, welcome! Ma’am will come down to see you as soon as she finishes washing up.” Sherlyn glared at him and said, “You’re that old man who spoke to us through the intercom, right?” Bowen’s smile immediately froze. He did not expect Corinne to be so rude to him, not when he had treated them so politely. However, he decided to let it go.
He was trained as a professional butler, after all.
His smile maintained as he said, “Yes, I’m the butler of this household. You may call me Bowen.” Sherlyn looked him up and down and scoffed. “It’s time to change the butler, too!
He’s too old!” Bowen was stunned, and a frown appeared on his head. ‘My, this young lady is so rude!” However, no matter how unhappy he was, he kept up his professionalism and politely said, “Might I invite the three of you to co-“|
He did not even have the chance to finish his sentence before the Carews swaggered into the living room and sat on the sofa as if they were in their home.
In all his years of serving the Holden family, Bowen never met such brazen guests. Even the dignitaries and influential members of other prominent families would not dare to act indecently in the mansion.
‘Well, I guess I’ve seen everything now,’ thought Bowen.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 382-The two servants who led the Carews in approached Bowen and asked meaningfully, “Mister Hoover, are they truly Ma’am’s family? Why do they act so differently than her?” “Yeah. They seem to think the mansion belongs to them instead of them just being guests. Just now, they even said they’re going to revamp the whole yard!
They wanted to have tnovelxo.com fast updatehe old pine tree cut down and for Mister Greg’s precious orchids to be thrown out!” Bowen frowned, not understanding why the Carews behaved like that. “That’s enough coming from you two. The two of you would do well to remember they’re
Ma’am’s family. Instead of gossiping here, you should go make a pot of coffee and ask the kitchen to prepare some fruits and snacks for them. Remember:
only the utmost respect for her family. We wouldn’t want them to have a bad impression of their first visit here.” “Yes, Mister Hoover,” chorused the two servants in unison, and the two of them went to the kitchen.
Sherlyn leaned languidly against the expensive fabric sofa, thinking how much more comfortable that sofa was than the one in their home. It was so comfortable that she nearly dozed off. However, she did not like the style. Sure, it looked expensive, but it was too old-fashioned for her taste.
She sat up and put on the air of the woman of the household again as she looked around the interior of the mansion. Her eyebrows never once wrinkled in dissatisfaction as she complained with a sigh, “I don’t like anything in this mansion at all! Everything is so old-fashioned. I do wish they had something more contemporary,” Lilliana, who sat beside her, smiled and said coaxingly, “Hey there now. You’ll be the woman of the household once you move in here. Then, you can decorate the place however you want! I’m sure Jeremy will follow through with anything you want if you just ask him.” After she thought about it, Sherlyn agreed with what her mother said.
Jeremy’s perfect, handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind, making her heart throb with longing. ‘Oh, he’s the most good-looking man I’ve ever seen in my life. Even if he’s not the heir of the Holden family, I’d still be willing to marry him, and the two of us will live the most passionate love story ever!’ However, Sherlyn could not help but feel angry at Corinne for stealing Jeremy away from her. ‘I wonder if they had slept together. If she has, then I’m going to make sure she regrets it – for the rest of her life!!
At that moment, the maid came in with some refreshments. Marvin accepted the cup of coffee from her, took a sip as if he was a coffee connoisseur, and then said, “What coffee is this? Why does it taste so weak?” “This is the best Black Ivory coffee money can buy. The taste is a tad on the lighter side. I can make you another coffee if you prefer something stronger,” said the maid.
Black Ivory coffee was the most famous coffee in the world. This was Marvin’s first taste of it, so he did not know what was Chapter 382 good or what was bad. He cleared his throat out of embarrassment, waved his hand, and said, “No, it’s fine. I’ll make do with this one. By the way, where is Corinne? What’s taking her so long to come down?” The maid did not know how to answer him, so she said nothing.
Bowen immediately came over. He smiled politely and said, Mister Carew, Ma’am is still dressing up. She’ll come down when she’s ready. Please have some fruit while you wait for her.” Marvin frowned. “Does she think she’s the queen now that she has married into this family?
How dare she put on airs with us?
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 383-Sherlyn stood up angrily. “Yeah! Is Corinne trying to make a big entrance? How dare she let us wait when we, her family, have come to visit her? She’s probably guilt–ridden to face us. Well, I guess I just have to go upstairs and drag her down myself!” She then impatiently got up from the sofa and started to make her way to the stairs. Bowen frowned and immediately signaled with his eyes to the servant beside him to stop her.novelxo.com fast update The servant blocked Sherlyn’s path, which enraged her. “Get out of the way!
Why are you stopping me?” she asked arrogantly.
He remained standing where he was, not moving an inch.
Bowen walked over to Sherlyn and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Carew, but only the residents of this house can go upstairs. As a guest, you need to remain downstairs. I do hope you can understand.” Sherlyn obviously did not agree with him. “How dare you stop me? I’m not a guest at all! Don’t you all know I’m the rightful wife of ” “Sherlyn, why are you making all this fuss in the morning?” interjected Corinne from the top of the stairs. This immediately got Sherlyn’s attention.
She looked up and frowned as she saw Corinne smiling carefreely at her from the second–floor railing. She hated how beautiful the bare–faced Corinne looked even though secretly she wished she was just as beautiful as her. How she wished she could scratch that pretty face of hers!
Corinne was dressed in simple pajamas that looked casual and comfortable. It was obvious she had just woken up. ‘Didn’t that old butler say that Corinne was washing up? Was she lying? She looked like she had just woken up! Maybe that’s why it took her so long to come down. What does she take us for?!‘ thought Sherlyn.
The more Sherlyn thought about it, the more angrier she got. She wanted nothing more than to go upstairs and rip her a new one. However, Bowen and the servant held their ground and kept her from going upstairs.
Sherlyn could not get through them at all. Annoyed, she gritted her teeth, raised her chin proudly, and haughtily said, Do you servants know who I am? How dare you block my way? I’ll give you three seconds to get out of here, and if you don’t, I’ll make sure there will be hell to pay!” Bowen was not angry at her, but he was evidently less polite. toward her. “Miss Carew, I know you’re Corinne’s sister and our honored guest, but it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to follow the etiquette in this house. Let me remind you again that only residents of this house can go upstairs, and no one can go up there unless Mister Jeremy gives his permission.” Sherlyn was livid. She pointed angrily at Corinne and shouted, “You say no one can go up there? Then, tell me, what is she doing up there?!” “She’s the madam of this house and Mister Jeremy’s wife. That makes her the residence of this house,” explained Bowen helplessly.
Sherlyn’s finger, the one aimed at Corinne, quivered out of rage. “She’s not your ma’am! I am! I was the one who was supposed to marry Jeremy, and I’ve come here today to take back what’s mine!” Bowen was stunned. ‘What?!
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 384-Sherlyn smiled smugly when she saw how shocked Bowen was. “That’s right.
It’s exactly as I’ve said. I’m the rightful Missus Holden, the woman that all you servants should listen to!” Bowen had been in all kinds of situations in his life, and he cultivated the skill to stay calm under fire. However, at that moment, he could not help but laugh out loud at thenovelxo.com fast update supremely confident Sherlyn. His laughter set off a chain reaction, and the other servants standing there burst into laughter as well.
Sherlyn was made very uncomfortable by them laughing at her. She glared at them and snapped, “Hey! What are you all laughing at? I’m telling the truth!” Bowen then forced back his laughter and cleared his throat; he returned to his usual professional self. “I do apologize for laughing, Miss Carew, but it seems like you’re still in dreamland. Might I suggest that you take a nap in any of the rooms of your choosing on the second floor?” “Why you…” Sherlyn felt humiliated by Bowen. She wanted to retort but could not come up with anything worthy. “Hmph! I don’t have the time nor the energy to explain the situation to all you stupid servants. Just you wait. I’ll make sure each of you comes to regret how you treated me today!” Bowen and the other servants were not worried. Instead, they looked at Sherlyn with eyes full of pity as though she was mentally unwell.
Sherlyn gritted her teeth angrily and glared at Corinne, who was watching her being humiliated by the servants from the third floor. Since Sherlyn could not frighten the servant, decided to change her target to Corinne.
she “What the hell are you looking at, Corinne? Get your *ss down here now! You’ve made us wait long enough!” Corinne covered her mouth and yawned. Then, she walked down the stairs as though she had all the time in the world. Bowen, you may step out of the room with the other servants. Leave me to take care of my ‘family‘ by myself.” Bowen was a little worried. “Umm…” He did not like the look of the Carews. Plus, it did not seem like they were close to Corinne, and he was worried she would not be able to handle them. In other words, he was afraid that the Carews would bully her.
Corinne could tell what Bowen was thinking. She gave him a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t worry. They won’t eat me.” “Alright, then,” said Bowen with a nod. In the end, he respected her decision. He led the other servants outside and ordered a few maids to stand by in the living room.
With all the pesky people out of the way, Sherlyn immediately walked up to Corinne. She raised her hand high up, intending to slap Corinne to make her pay for her insolence. However, Corinne, possibly having guessed what she had in mind, grabbed Sherlyn’s wrist.
“Now now, you don’t want to hit me when we haven’t seen each other for such a long time. Besides, aren’t you worried that no one would want to marry you if they ever saw this side Chantar 384 of you?” said Corinne with a raised eyebrow.
Tried as she did, Sherlyn just could not shake off Corinne’s grip, which only seemed to fuel her anger. Deep down in her heart, she did not care what Corinne thought of her, but the latter part of what she said seemed to have triggered something in her.
Sherlyn was in the Holdens‘ estate after all. What would happen if Jeremy got wind of how she acted? His unfavorable impression of her might cause their marriage to sour, so it was better for her to maintain a ladylike demeanor.
Thus, she decided to let Corinne go this time since there would be plenty of opportunities to make her pay later.
Sherlyn pulled back her hand and gave it a few shakes as though she was disgusted by Corinne’s touch. “Dad is waiting in the living room for you. He has something to ask you, so you better get your *ss over there!”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 385-Corinne nodded and walked leisurely toward the living room.
“Mister Carew, Missus Carew, it’s been a while,” greeted Corinne with a faint polite smile.
‘Did she just call me Mister Carew?‘ thought Marvin with a frown. Then, out loud, he asknovelxo.com fast updateed, “What did you just call me, you ungrateful child?” Corinne sat on an armchair that was quite a distance away from where the Carews sat. She took a deliberate sip of the Blue Mountain Coffee that the maid
passed her before looking up and saying, “What’s wrong with calling you Mister Carew? Isn’t that your surname after all?” After finding out she had no blood relation to Marvin at all, Corinne could not, and would not, call him ‘Dad‘ anymore. He was not her biological father, and he was not the one who brought her up either. No, a person like him who threw her away to the countryside did not deserve to be called a father.
Marvin glared at Corinne, who he found more irksome as the minutes ticked by.
He scoffed and lectured her, “Corinne Carew, you shouldn’t disown your father just because you’re married to a wealthy man now. Besides, you know very well just how you came to be Missus Holden!” Corinne raised her eyebrow while her eyes trembled with anxiety. “You seem like you know very well how I came to be Missus Holden too, Mister Carew.” Before Marvin could say anything, Sherlyn cut in angrily, “Not only does he know, but Mom and I know, too! Corinne, no Chapter 385 secret can be kept hidden forever in this world, so I highly suggest that you drop the act and come clean with your crime. That way, I might find it in my heart to show you mercy, step- sister.” Corinne chuckled. “You, show me mercy? Sherlyn, pray tell, did I do something wrong to you again that you’d need to come to my house to show me mercy?” The words ‘my house‘ was like a thorn that stabbed Sherlyn’s heart. She felt as if someone had taken possession of her belongings. “Your house? Just how shameless can you be, Corinne? You know very well this is obviously my house!” she said angrily.
||
Lilliana leaned gently against Marvin and said softly, Corinne, I advise you to come clean while Sherlyn is still willing to show you mercy. We all know that you took Sherlyn’s place to marry into the Holden family, so there’s no use hiding it from us anymore. Now, be a good girl and kneel. Apologize to your father and sister.” Corinne narrowed her eyes. “How did you all know about that?‘ Her question sounded like a confession to the Carews, which angered Marvin even more than ever. He pointed at her and snarled, “Corinne Carew, I didn’t raise you to be a shameless daughter! Have you no morals? How can you steal your sister’s husband? Did you know you turned us into a laughingstock within our circle of family and friends? If I knew what was going to happen, I shouldn’t have brought you back from the countryside!” Corinne found what Marvin said a little funny because it was through her stellar exam result that she was about to come to New Capital City to study university with a full scholarship. Marvin did not do anything. Besides, he kept emphasizing that he was the one who brought her up, but did he?
Corinne understood their purpose for visiting her after she saw how Sherlyn kept making trouble for Bowen. It was just that…she did not know how they found out that she had become Missus Holden.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Could it be that you’re wracked with guilt now that your crime has been exposed?” sneered Sherlyn when she saw how silent Corinne was.
Corinne sighed and lowered her head as though she had no right to face them.
“Since you all know what happened…I guess the only question is…how do you all plan to punish me?
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 386-The fact that Corinne lowered her head seemed to have made Sherlyn haughtier. “How do we plan to punish you? Well, that depends on my mood and how sincere you are in apologizing to us.” At that moment, Lilliana sighed helplessly and gently persuaded her daughter, “Forget it, Sherlyn. Corinne is your sister after all, so you shouldn’t punish her.” “I She turned toward Corinne and said with mock compassion, Corinne, Sherlyn could never return to the peak of her career because you took her place as Missus Holden for so long. But it’s okay, we won’t ask you to compensate her for
the loss ‘ cause we’ll just put it down as you being young and stupid. However, you’ll need to give back the title of Missus Holden to Sherlyn, so it’ll be great if you can just pack up your things and leave her without a fuss. Of course, you’ll need to promise us you’ll never show your face here again and stop coming in between Jeremy and Sherlyn. I guarantee you we’ll let bygones be bygones if you just do as I said.” “But, Mom…that’s going too easy on her!” whined Sherlyn.
Lilliana gave her a look and lectured her, “Sherlyn, Corinne is your sister. Even if you’re not doing it for her, you should do it for your father’s sake.” From the look Lilliana gave Sherlyn, the latter understood that her mother wanted her to be patient. It was more important to get rid of Corinne from the Holdens‘ estate because there would be plenty of time later to punish her.
Thus, Sherlyn did not insist. She rolled her eyes at Corinne and said nothing for she had made up her mind to let Lilliananovelxo.com fast update handle everything.
Marvin looked at his kind wife, and he felt both touched and heartbroken. There was also a little guilt mixed in for wrongly blaming her in the past. He held her hand, sighed, and said, ” Lilliana, I’m sorry what I’ve put you and Sherlyn through. I know what Corinne did was horrible, but thank you for showing mercy to this ungrateful child of mine for my sake.” “Oh Marvin, there’s no need to thank us! We’re family after all! ” said Lilliana gently. However, anyone there–except for Marvin and Sherlyn–could tell she was only putting up an act.
The guilt in Marvin’s heart acted as fuel to his anger. He glared at the irksome Corinne and shouted angrily, “You ungrateful child! What are you waiting for?
You should thank your Aunt Lilliana for being so magnanimous! Let me tell you something: You better not screw this up. Otherwise, no matter how much she’s willing to forgive you, I’ll make sure you get your just punishment!” Corinne got up from the sofa and bowed sincerely. “Thank you, Aunt Lilliana, for being so magnanimous. I’m so grateful that you’re willing to let the matter slide and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf. Thank you so much! Don’t you worry, I know what I did wrong, and I’ll move out right away.” Marvin, Lilliana, and Sherlyn were stunned by Corinne’s apology.
Lilliana thought that Corinne would never leave the place without a fight. Why would anyone, when she used every trick possible to secure her place as Missus Holden in the first.
Chapter 386 place? Therefore, it would be more understandable if Corinne had to be dragged out of the house kicking and screaming.
Lilliana truthfully preferred for that to happen as she would be able to show Marvin just how kind she was compared to the evil Corinne. That was why she did not know how to react when Corinne agreed to move out of the house obediently.
Corinne slowly raised her head when she did not hear anything from the three of them. “Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that? Are you not happy that I’ve agreed to move out? If that’s the case, how about I stay here with Sherlyn so that I can take care of her to atone for my sins?” she asked innocently.
Sherlyn was the first to react. “Hmph! I don’t need you to take care of me, Corinne. You better not think of pulling any tricks on me. You have to move out no matter what, but before you do that, you have to explain to Jeremy what happened. Don’t you dare gloss over any facts!” Corinne nodded and said, “Yes, of course. But Jeremy is still working right now, and it would be rude of me to bother him when he’s so busy. I’ll wait until he gets home from work and then explain everything to him then.” “What? You’re going to wait for him to come home?” Sherlyn frowned unhappily.
She wished for nothing more than for Corinne to move out at that moment. Even the thought of it brought joy to her heart.
“Then… Do you want me to call him now? Though, I should tell you that he doesn’t like it when people bother him while he’s working. He might take his anger out of me and all of you when he’s home if the call pulls him out of work,” said Corinne sadly.
Sherlyn instinctively exchanged a glance with Lilliana, and the two of them started to have some hesitations.
After thinking about it, Sherlyn angrily grumbled, “Fine! We’ll wait for him to come home, but you need to go pack your things now so that you can leave after you’ve explained everything to him.”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 387-“Okay, sure!” said Corinne without missing a beat.
After that, she ordered the confused maid who stood next to her to gather Bowen and the rest of the servants. The maid immediately snapped out of her trance, nodded, and did as she was ordered. Not long after, Bowen and the rest of the servants gathered in the livinnovelxo.com fast updateg room.
“Let me introduce you all to my sister, Sherlyn. She’s the woman Jeremy wanted to marry in the first place, so that makes her the real Missus. The other two next to her are her parents or, in other words, the in–laws of the Holden family,” Corinne said solemnly.
Bowen and the rest of the servants were all shocked, and they could not help but wonder if Corinne was pulling a prank on them. However, when they saw her sincere expression, she did not look like she was joking.
“Now that this is done, you’ll do well to serve the new Missus. · As for me, I’ll be going upstairs to pack my things so that the real Missus Holden can move in.” Sherlyn felt vindicated by Corinne’s introduction of her to the lowly servants who, moments ago, did not know who she was. She thought that Bowen and the two servants who led her in must be quaking in their boots when they found out who she was.
Bowen was super confused. He chased up the stairs and said to Corinne, “Ma’am, what exactly is going on?” Corinne waved her hand to tell him to stop following her. ” Chapter 387 Bowen, the only thing you need to do now is make sure they’re well taken care of. As for the rest of the matter, we’ll wait until Jeremy comes home.” “Yes, Ma’am,” said Bowen worriedly.
After that, Sherlyn waited impatiently for Corinne to finish packing her things, but the latter never came down. She was about to go upstairs to see what she was doing when Bowen stopped her at the foot of the stairs. “I’m sorry, but you cannot go up.” Sherlyn glared at him and said, “You stupid old man! How dare you stop me when Corinne told you who I am?!” Bowen was not moved. “Sorry, but we still need to wait for Mister Jeremy to come home and confirm you are who you say you are.” ‘This old man isn’t only stupid but stubborn as well! The rest of the servants have obviously become more respectful toward me!‘ thought Sherlyn as she gritted her teeth. She then rolled her eyes and said condescendingly to him, “Fine! I won’t go up now, but mark my words, I’ll be able to go up very soon! In the meantime, my parents are hungry, so go tell the kitchen to make something for us. Remind them to use only the most expensive ingredients. If we find out they didn’t, well… I’ll tell Jeremy once he’s home, and he’ll surely punish you all!” It took all of Bowen’s willpower for him to stay calm. He wished nothing more than to chase out the rude Carews of the house, but Corinne told him to treat them well. Thus, he nodded politely and said, “Yes, I understand. I’ll make sure the food is up to your satisfaction.” The Carews had comfortably settled into the mansion by the time Jeremy got back home in the evening. Marvin had taken off his shoes and was snoring on the sofa. Lilliana was watching the television while doing her nails. Sherlyn was eating the expensive desserts that the chef had made while criticizing them, “Where in the world did you get this chef? He doesn’t seem like he knows how to make good desserts. The chocolate mousse isn’t sweet at all. Jeremy needs to fire him and hire a new one later!”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 388-Jeremy stood at the entrance, and because the television was turned on too loudly, he noticed something was different at home the moment he walked through the door. He squinted at the three strangers sitting in the living room, and that caused his handsome eyes to darken with alarm immediately.novelxo.com fast update The two maids greeted him as usual. One of them helped him out of his suit jacket while the other bent to help him wear his house slippers. Jeremy took out his jacket and passed it to one of the maids, but he did not put on the house slippers.
“Who are those people in the living room?” he asked in that deep voice of his.
The maid exchanged confused looks with one another, and one of them answered helplessly, “Mister Jeremy, they’re Ma’am’s family, but they…” The maid found herself unable to continue as she did not know how to tell him that Corinne had introduced the ‘new Missus. Holden‘ to them. It was too complicated to the extent that they, the servants, had no idea what happened.
“Well, go on. ‘But‘ what?” Jeremy asked impatiently, not liking the maid’s hesitancy one bit.
The maid felt pressured, and this made it even harder for her to go on. She was just thinking about how to explain the situation to Jeremy without making him angry when Bowen came just in time to save her.
“Mister Jeremy, you’re back! The guests in the living room are the parents and sister of Ma’am. They dropped by this morning to visit her,” said Bowen.
‘They’re the little rascal’s family?‘ thought Jeremy. His long legs carried him out of the entrance and toward the living room, his eyes not as hostile as before.
Before, he did not care about Corinne’s family because their marriage was fake, but that changed. He wanted to continue the marriage with her, so he thought he should treat her family well to show that he respected them and Corinne.
“Where is she?” Jeremy asked. At the word ‘she‘, his usual cold tone became softer.
Bowen’s expression changed at the mention of Corinne. “Umm … Ma’am is in her room, packing her things. She said that she needed to make room for her sister.” ‘Packing her things?‘ Jeremy frowned. ‘What’s going on? I thought everything was going great between us. What’s she upset about this time?” Bowen started to explain to Jeremy everything that happened today when Sherlyn- who wanted to go to the bathroom after having finished her desserts got up from the sofa and saw the impossible -to–miss and impossible -to–take– her–eyes- off handsome Jeremy, who stood at the living room entrance.
Her eyes lit up, and she greeted him excitedly, “Jeremy, you’re back!” Bowen was only halfway through explaining what happened today and had not gotten to the key points yet. Therefore, Jeremy had not gotten the full picture of the situation, so it was understandable of him to treat Corinne’s family with the utmost respect.
Jeremy nodded slightly at Sherlyn, who walked toward him, and said, “Hello. Welcome.”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 389-A lukewarm ‘hello‘ and ‘welcome‘ was a rare thing to come out from the noble Jeremy’s mouth.
Sherlyn’s heart thumped excitedly in her chest. She was delighted and thought that Jeremy must have had a good impression of her.
Why else would he act so politely toward her?
The fact that the cold, aloof Jeremy would welcome her was proof that she was the one he wanted to marry in the first
place. Besides, Anya did tell her yesterday that Jeremy had fallen in love with her after seeing her in a movie she starred in and that was why he arranged for his men to bring novelxo.com fast updatethe engagement gifts to her house.
Then, Corinne came in between them. The people on Jeremy’s side must have thought Corinne was Sherlyn because as sisters, they somewhat looked alike. Even though Sherlyn did not think so, it must be so to others.
‘Also, that b*tch Corinne rarely goes out with makeup on her face. Jeremy must’ve thought that’s how I look without makeup, and that’s how he mixed me up with her. Well, I don’t blame him. A busy man like him can’t possibly remember a face he only saw once on the screen, and that’s how Corinne had the chance to replace me. I can’t believe she pretended to be me for the past two months. Argh! How dare she steal my man from me?!‘ thought Sherlyn with gritted teeth.
However, she forced herself to calm down by telling herself it was not the time to be cursing Corinne. The most important Chapter 389 2/3 thing for her to do was to make a good impression on Jeremy.
She flicked her carefully groomed hair in a way she thought was charming and attractive. “Jeremy, we met each other in Lunar Century Manor before,” she chirped. “Do you remember?” Jeremy glanced at her face and replied, “Yes, I think so.” Sherlyn beamed at him. ‘I knew it! It only makes sense he’d remember me. I was the one he fell in love with, so he’ll surely fall in love with me again now that we’ve reunited. I must’ve made a lasting impression on him then!‘ she thought.
In the living room, Lilliana quickly poked the sleeping Marvin and whispered to him that Jeremy had returned. Marvin was in the middle of a good dream, but he immediately woke up and sat up straight on the sofa when he heard Jeremy was home.
He looked toward where Lilliana was pointing and saw Sherlyn talking to a tall and elegant man. Everything about him looked so perfect, it was as though he was carved from marble. Even a middle–aged man like Marvin could not help but marvel at the fact that a handsome man such as Jeremy existed in this world.
“The songs singing praises of him are true! The heir of the Holden family isn’t only talented but handsome as well!‘ thought Marvin. ‘And this talented, handsome man is going to be my future son–in–law!‘ Marvin tidied himself up and puffed his chest. Then, he linked arms with Lilliana and proudly walked to where Jeremy was.
“Jeremy, our son–in–law, you’re back! We’ve been waiting here the whole day for you,” said Marvin.
Jeremy raised an eyebrow and looked at Marvin with a pair of 3/3 emotionless eyes. He nodded politely at him and respectfully said, “Nice to meet you, Uncle. I’m looking forward to listening to what you have to teach me about life.” Marvin immediately felt like he was going to burst with joy. He became so cocky that his nose was about to touch the ceiling. ‘Good god, I can’t believe the heir of the Holden family wants me to teach him about life!

Even he had to treat me with respect and listen to what I had to teach him about life!‘ Marvin was sure that his life was about to change for the better as he had Jeremy’s support.
