Ch. 411..420

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 411-The dress was too big for her. Not to mention, it was designed to make the wearer look sexy. Her strap slipped down, making her look all the more seductive with her gleaming pale shoulder and neck.

The scent of her body wash wafted off her skin and the combined effect of her smell and look caused Jeremy’s eyes to burn with lust and his Adam’s apple rolled up and down.

Corinne noticed the weird look in Jeremy’s eyes. Following his gaze, she looked down at her body, only to discover that the already low neckline had plunged

even lower because her strap had slipped off. She blushed with shame as her hand instinctively shot up to cover her chest.

“Hey! Stop staring at my chest, Mister!” She quickly pulled up her strap with another hand before moving that hand to cover her chest too. Hell would freeze over before she let him see that part of her body. However, the one-size-too-big dress was too loose on her, so without her even moving, the straps monovelxo.com fast updateved on their own accord again.

Unfortunately, both straps slipped down then.

Corinne was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and hide it in.

Panicking, she fumbled as she tried to get both straps up at the same time.

Jeremy laughed at her clumsiness. He then hooked both of the spaghetti straps with his slender fingers and put it back on her shoulder. However, he did not move his fingers away from her after that. Instead, he brushed her shoulder ever so lightly.

“I just can’t get enough of your fair skin,” he purred admiringly, wiping the drool off the corner of his lips.

While being praised for her fair skin, Corinne noticed the scent of pheromones coming off him. She shot up with alarm and said, “Ahem. I should go out now that I’ve already changed.” Jeremy did not move from his seat. Instead, he grabbed her hand to prevent her from leaving.

“You’re not going out dressed like that.” “But… I-I want to go eat barbecue. Wait, no, I mean…” Corinne shook her head to clear her mind. Then she turned around to look at Jeremy and asked quizzically, “What’s wrong with the dress I’m wearing?” Jeremy frowned and said disapprovingly, “With that little fabric on your skin, you might as well be wearing lingerie.” Corinne did not know whether to laugh or cry at that. “Come on, Mister. With your status, you should’ve been to a lot of parties where the women dressed in clothes skimpier than this, so you can drop the innocent act, alright?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “So what if I’ve seen women dressed in skimpier clothes than yours? They’re them and you’re you! I won’t allow you to go out like this. Your body is only for my eyes to see. Stay here and I’ll ask someone to deliver the food to you.” “No! I want to eat outside!” insisted Corinne.

Jeremy frowned and in a sterner tone said, “Listen to me!” No way would Corinne listen to him. She had a feeling that she 3/3 would be ravished by Jeremy if she stayed in the room any longer, so she shook his hand off and ran away.

Jeremy stood up and before Corinne even took two steps, he grabbed her wrist again. The sudden force caused Corinne to spin back and crash into his strong chest.

Without giving her a chance to recover, Jeremy cupped her face with his strong hands and kissed her hard on the lips without warning. He grinded his lips against hers before moving down to her chin, then to her neck. There, he bit her lightly as if kissing her was not enough.

Corinne started to panic. “Hey, stop. Mister, no!”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 412-n the meantime, Sunny had just grilled up a plate of his secret. sauce chicken wings. He added some special seasoning and confidently brought it out for Corinne to try so that she would know what a real good chicken wing tastes like.

However, when he looked up, he realized that there was no one at the gazebo.

‘Where’s everyone?’ He remembered Anya dragged Corinne over to the gazebo for a chat earlier, yet they were nowhere to be seen.

Sunny scratched his head in confusion. He then carried the plate of chicken wings inside to look for them.

Sunny looked around the mansion for Corinne but still came up empty-handed.

However, he saw Lucas and Anya sitting and talking on the sofa so he went over there with the plate of chicken wings still in his hand.

“Anya, have you seen Corinne?” he asked.novelxo.com fast update Anya was leaning against Lucas. She looked uncomfortable and a little pale in the face. She tried to speak but had no energy to do so, coughing after every word.

“Oh, hi… Corinne… She’s…” A worried frown appeared on Lucas’ face. He patted her on the back to make her stop coughing. Then, he glared at Sunny and barked out a question. “Why are you looking for her?” All of a sudden, Sunny felt this immense pressure pressing down on his body.

He held up the plate of chicken wings and stammered, “I just… I grilled some chicken wings and I want her to taste it…” Lucas narrowed his eyes. There was a look of hatred specially reserved for his idiot brother.

“Your sister isn’t feeling well and all you can think about is bringing food to other people?” he asked sarcastically.

• 1 Sunny was struck dumb. He immediately turned toward Anya and only then did he realize Anya did not look too good. Anya, what’s wrong? Did you get a cold outside?” he asked. worriedly.

Just now, he was so focused on showing off his chicken wing grilling skill to Corinne that he did not even notice Anya’s discomfort.

Anya coughed weakly again before waving her hand. “I’m… I’m fine.” Sunny became even more worried after Anya insisted she was fine when she obviously was not.

Lucas held Anya gently as he scolded Sunny, “Didn’t you see Corinne harassing Anna when you were outside? How can you still think about bringing food to your sister’s bully when she’s the one who spoils you the most in this household!?” Sunny was stunned. “What? Corinne harassed Anya?” Lucas’ face darkened. “Yeah! If not, why would Anya suddenly fall sick again when she was just fine moments ago?” It made Sunny even more confused. “Anya, what exactly is going on? I saw you dragging Corinne over to the gazebo to have a talk with her. What happened after that? I was so busy grilling the chicken wings that I didn’t see what happened.” Anya lowered her eyes and silently shook her head as though she did not want to make things worse for Corinne by bringing up the matter.

Lucas, however, had no intention to cover up Corinne’s crime. “Corinne forced Anya to kneel before her before kicking her to the ground.” His face became dark, and his jaw tightened just thinking about the image.

Anya wiped away her tears pitifully before saying, “Stop, Lucas. I don’t want to make Sunny worry about me.” Sunny frowned in confusion. “That’s impossible! Anya, there must be some misunderstanding. Corinne would never do something like that. She’s not that kind of person!” Anya did a double take at his words. She thought she had heard wrong.

Otherwise, why would her little brother-who had always taken her side-suddenly come to Corinne’s defense?

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 413-Anya was not happy at all. However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she pretended to be kind and understanding “Don’t worry, Sunny. I’m fine and I’m sure Corinne didn’t mean to do that, so… Let’s just forget about it.”novelxo.com fast update Sunny nodded confidently. “Yeah! I’m sure she didn’t mean it too. There must be some misunderstanding. I’ll go ask her about it later.” Anya was speechless.

‘Unbelievable! My own brother would rather believe Corinne is innocent than to accept the fact that she harassed me! Did she slip him a love potion or something?’ thought Anya.

Lucas witnessed their interaction with a sullen face. Then, he suddenly said sternly and sarcastically, “You seem to be very confident about what kind of person Corinne is. Tell me, did she bribe you with something?” Sunny felt pressured when he realized just how dark Lucas’ face was. “No… She didn’t, but she helped me out a few times. and she never asked for a favor in return. I figured someone like that can’t be all that bad!” “That’s all? What you’re saying is that Corinne is a good person and Anya is lying about what happened?” questioned Lucas with a cold look in his eyes.

Sunny shook his head. “No, that’s not what I’m saying. I just think some kind of misunderstanding must’ve happened between them. Corinne would never assault Anya! She definitely isn’t that kind of person!” He emphasized the word ‘definitely’, making Lucas and Anya wonder just how confident he was about Corinne’s character that he would use the word ‘definitely’ without hesitation.

Sunny rarely butt heads with Lucas, who was even stricter than their father.

Therefore, he did not know where he got the courage to talk back to Lucas like that. In any case, he did not like how Lucas spoke about Corinne.

The argument between the two brothers seemed to have attracted attention from others.

“Are Mister Lucas and Mister Sunny arguing with each other? I wonder what happened?” “Miss Anya seems to be caught in the middle. Look, she’s crying!” “Isn’t Mister Sunny deathly afraid of his brother? Something must’ve happened for him to hold his ground like that.” “Who knows? They were fine just moments ago.” Lucas stared at Sunny for a while, deep in thought as a multitude of emotions flashed through his eyes.

‘This half-brother of mine has always been scared of me ever since we were young. In fact, he doesn’t even dare to breathe too loudly around me. Now, he dares to talk back to me just because of Corinne. Well, I’m glad he’s manned up, but he should know that family comes first!’ thought Lucas.

He did not want to humiliate Sunny in front of so many people so he decided to give him a way to back down. “Whether or not what happened today was a misunderstanding, you’re to stay away from Corinne. In other words, you’re not allowed to talk to her unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Sunny frowned and stubbornly said, “She’s my friend! I have to talk to her. Sorry, Lucas, but I’m not going to listen to you this time.” “You son of a gun!” shouted Lucas angrily.

‘I already gave him a way out, yet he still dares to defy my order. Is it all because of that Corinne?’ Sunny took a deep breath in a bid to shore up his courage. “L- Lucas, don’t forget that Corinne saved grandfather. Our family is indebted to her so don’t you think it would make us seem a little ungrateful if you forbid me to talk to her?” “Why you!

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 414-Anya had never seen Lucas and Sunny fight like that, so she did not know what to do.

Everyone knew Sunny lived in fear of Lucas. In fact, even if Lucas said one plus one equals three, Sunny would not dare say otherwise. It was unprecedented for Sunny to contradict Lucas like that, and it was all Corinne’s fault.novelxo.com fast update The onlookers watched excitedly from a distance as the argument unfolded.

Anya did not want her family to become a laughingstock, so she tugged on Lucas’ sleeves.

“Lucas, forget it. Sunny’s right. I must’ve misunderstood Corinne’s intention. I’m sure she didn’t mean to kick me, so please don’t fight with Sunny anymore. He’s still at that age when boys are stupid…” Anya slowly got up and sighed with resignation.

“I’ll go upstairs to talk to Corinne and Jeremy. It’s best if we clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible.” She then walked toward the stairs to find Corinne and Jeremy. To be honest, she had long wanted to do that.

Earlier, she pretended to be sick so that Jeremy would stay with her. However, he left without turning back to go upstairs to look for Corinne as soon as Anya got ‘better’.

The thought of Corinne and Jeremy alone in the room made her feel like a boulder that she could not push away was pressing on her chest.

‘Corinne might start undressing because she wants to get out of her wet clothes… Then, sparks will fly and they’ll start… No! Jeremy is mine. I won’t allow them to do that!’ It was a good thing she had a valid excuse to go check on them.

However, Lucas could not help but frown with worry when he saw his fragile sister walking up the stairs alone. He then turned and glared at that idiot brother of his.

“Sunny, what’s wrong with you? Not only are you bad at your studies but now you’ve teamed up with an outsider to torment your sister?” Sunny thought that Lucas’ words were a little unfair.

“No, Lucas. You know very well that I’ll always protect Anya no matter what, but Corinne isn’t really the kind of person you think she is! You have no idea how many times I pestered Corinne because of Anya but she still helped me in my time of need!

“I can say with absolute certainty that she’s one of the good ones. I’ll follow Anya upstairs to look for Corinne too and ask her what happened. Like I said, there must be a misunderstanding in all of this!” He then turned around and followed Anya up the stairs. He had two reasons for doing that.

One, he did not want to be alone with Lucas, and two, he wanted Corinne to try the chicken wings he had grilled so that she would have no choice but to bow down to his amazing cooking skills.

Lucas remained seated on the fabric armchair with a refined but unfriendly expression on his face. He pinched the space between his eyebrows wearily.

“What am I going to do with them? My sister is infatuated with a man who will never return her feelings, while my brother is a heartless son of a gun! When will they ever make me stop worrying about them?’ The thought made him miss Luna even more. ‘If only Luna was here. She’ll never make me worry about her like this. That kid has always been more sensible, tougher, and smarter than other kids her age. Why, after taking the IQ test, the doctor confirmed that her IQ was higher than average, making her one of those rare gifted children. She knew almost all the words in the dictionary even before she started kindergarten.’ Lucas remembered when he was still studying in public elementary school, his mother would wait with Luna in her arms at the intersection near their house for him to come home on the school bus.

Every time the school bus arrived, Luna would jump down from their mother’s arm and stumble toward him. She looked so cute with her round little belly, and she would never cry when she fell down. In fact, she would just get up, pat the dirt away, continue to run happily toward him, throw herself into his arms, and call out for him in that baby voice of hers.

His life was happy and simple back then. Though it did not last for long, the memories could still warm him up whenever he thought of it.

‘I wonder where Luna is right now… I do hope she and mother are happy.’ Losing his mother and sister would forever be the most painful thing to Lucas. He hated himself for being too young to help his mother.

If not, she would not have left the house out of disappointment. If not, she would not have disappeared with Luna. If not… While Lucas was taking a trip down memory lane, the other people had gathered into small groups to gossip about what happened.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 415-“Who’s this Corinne they’re talking about?” “Is she a daughter of a wealthy family?” “Beats me. I’ve never heard of her.”novelxo.com fast update “No matter who she is, she must be a force to reckon with since both Mister Lucas and Mister Sunny are fighting over her!” Hearing all the ruckus, Lucas cleared his throat and looked at the crowd with his piercing eyes. The gossipers immediately felt an oppressive energy washing over them, which immediately shut them up.However, the gossipers were right about one thing-Corinne was a force to be reckoned with. The fact that Sunny, who never showed any interest in any girls before, would come to Corinne’s defense was proof of that.Lucas narrowed his eyes. ‘What the hell does Corinne want? Isn’t it enough that she has Jeremy already? Why would she be interested in Sunny? I’m starting to suspect that her helping out grandfather at the embankment was all a ploy for her to get closer to us.’ In the guest room on the second floor, Corinne’s face flushed red with embarrassment.“Mister, I’m going to get angry if you don’t stop…” Corinne growled between gritted teeth.She was trapped in Jeremy’s embrace for over five minutes as he kissed her neck lightly, sometimes aggressively. She was sure he would leave hickeys all over her skin.Jeremy could hear the panic in her voice, so he gave her one last peck on her skin and proceeded to straighten himself up so he could take a good look at his ‘work of art’.He stroked her hickey-studded neck lightly and said confidently, “I’m sure you wouldn’t want others to see all these hickeys on your neck, do you? So just stay here and I’ll bring back some barbecue food for you.” Corinne was speechless. ‘Damn this evil old man! He did it on purpose. I can’t believe he’d do this just so I won’t go out dressed like this. What’s wrong with this dress anyway? Yes, it’s a little revealing but it’s not like I’ll be going out naked! He’s so possessive. Does he really think everyone is a perv like him?’ The more she thought about the more angrier she got so much so that her cheeks were blown up like a pufferfish.A faint smile appeared on Jeremy’s face. ‘She’s even cute when she’s angry.’ He gently brushed his fingers through her hair and said, ” There, there. Just wait here, okay?” He then left the room to get some food for Corinne.Corinne immediately strode angrily to the bathroom. Her eyebrows started creasing together when she saw the hickeys Jeremy gave her in the bathroom mirror. Thinking back to how he hungrily sucked on her neck like a vampire out for blood made her blush again.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.‘Oh! He’s back already? That’s fast… Wait, he never knocks!’ thought Corinne.Corinne wrapped a clean towel around her neck, making sure that all the hickeys were covered before going out to open the door.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 416-Corinne opened the door and saw Sunny and Anya standing behind one another outside the threshold.

‘Oh my god, they’re so annoying,’ thought Corinne. She did not have the mood to deal with both of them so she raised her eyebrow and coldly spat out one word, “Yes?” Anya looked at Corinne first and then she took a glance inside the room before softly saying, “Corinne, I’m sorry… After thinking about it, I have to admit that I’ve misunderstood you earlier. I knelt down on the ground because I thought you wanted me to do that and… I know you didn’t mean to kick me.

“You must’ve accidentally brushed against me when you were walking…So I’m really, really sorry for making Lucas think you were bullying me and for getting you pushed into the novelxo.com fast updatepond. Can you please forgive me, Corinne?” Corinne narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘Here she is with her pitiful act again.’ Then she smirked and said out loud, “Miss Anya, there’s no need for you to put on this act because I can assure you Jeremy is not inside the room right now.” Anya was stunned. She did not really believe her so she scanned the room again. ‘Is he really not here?’ Corinne was right. Anya was indeed putting up an act for Jeremy. She would not have apologized to Corinne if he was not there. There was no point for her to do that since her relationship with Corinne had become unsalvageable.

However, Sunny was there with them so Anya still had to somewhat keep up the pretense.

“Corinne, I’m not the hypocrite you think I am. I truly came to apologize to you with all my heart. I’m really, really sorry so please forgive me.” Judging from the indifferent expression on Corinne’s face, she was not moved by Anya’s plea as she knew what kind of person she really was.

Anya might have looked like she was being sincere but Corinne knew that what she was doing was just a form of emotional blackmail. After all, it would make Corinne seem like she was a heartless b*tch who liked to prey on the weak if she did not forgive Anya, who had apologized to her sincerely again and again.

In most cases like that, those in Corinne’s situation would choose to forgive Anya to avoid being labeled negatively by other people. However, Anya had chosen the wrong person to mess with since Corinne did not care what others think of her.

Corinne would never cave under the pressure of having to forgive her.

Corinne smiled and said, “Save it, Miss Anya. Don’t waste your Oscar-worthy acting skills on me. I’ll never fall for your act nor do I want any drama in my life.” Anya put on a hurt look as if she had been wrongfully accused by Corinne. “I’m not acting… Why do you keep insisting that I am? Do you really hate me that much?” ‘Hate? More like disgusted by you,’ thought Corinne.

She yawned, not wanting to waste her time on Anya anymore.

‘Anything I say now will just come back to bite me later, so I might as well keep my mouth shut.’ Corinne was about to close the door so that she could return to some peace and quiet when Sunny suddenly walked up to her with a plate of chicken wings in his hand. His handsome face was full of youthful spirit when he asked, “Corinne, what happened in the gazebo earlier? Lucas said that you forced Anya to kneel down in front of you and that you even kicked her! Is that true?” ‘Tsk! What’s up with this brother and sister duo? Why won’t they just leave me alone?’ thought Corinne with a frown.

She was so annoyed at how they just would not let her be. She covered her mouth and yawned again.

Then, she said impatiently, “Your sister suddenly knelt down in front of me and fell on her own accord. That’s all that happened. Nothing more and nothing less.” Corinne gave the short version of the story because she felt like it would be pointless to explain too much. Those who believed her would believe her anyhow, and those who did not, well, they would never change their minds no matter what she said.

“Oh, so that’s what happened!” Sunny nodded, believing her right off the bat. He then turned to face Anya and said.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 417-I understand what happened now, Anya! You must’ve mistakenly thought Corinne wanted you to kneel down before her but you lost your balance and fell to the ground. Then, Lucas just so happened to see that last part and thought you fell because Corinne kicked you.” Anya was speechless. ‘Is this idiot really my brother? How can he take her side and not mine?’ Corinne’s eyebrow quirked up. She was surprised by what Sunny said. ‘I guess he finally has some sense knocked into him. He finally believes me after all those times of taking Anya’s side.’

Anya chuckled dryly and added to Sunny’s conclusion, “Yeah, that could be it. I could have misheard since I was feeling a little dizzy from the cold…” The image Anya liked to portray to others had always been one of kind and gentle, so even though she disagreed with Sunny’s statement, she did not dare to argue with him.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Sunny excitedly shoved the plate of chicken wing in front of Corinne’s face.novelxo.com fast update “Here, I’m giving you a chance to try my special sauce chicken wings! They’re a little cold now, but I can guarantee that you’ve never eaten a chicken wing as delicious as this in your whole life,” he said proudly.

Corinne was indeed hungry so she did not hesitate to grab a chicken wing from the place.

“Hey, this is quite good. Yum!” Sunny lifted his chin smugly. “What did I say? I was telling the truth, right?” Corinne gave him a thumbs-up. “Yup, you truly live up to your reputation of being the best barbecue cook in the city! This is really great!” Sunny was starting to feel embarrassed by all the praise she was heaping on him and to cover it up, he tooted his own horn a bit more.

Anya watched sinisterly at the two of them eating and talking happily with each other. She could not help but feel her territory had been encroached upon and the enemy was right inside her own home.

‘Why does it feel like I’m the outsider here? He’s my baby brother, not hers!’ thought Anya.

Suddenly, she smiled and approached them, “Sunny, can I try the chicken wings you’ve cooked?” Then, she reached out to take a piece of the chicken wing in a bid to show Corinne that she was Sunny’s favorite person in the whole world.

However, Sunny moved the plate away to prevent her from taking any of the chicken wings.

Anya’s face immediately darkened.

“Anya, you shouldn’t eat this since they’ve become cold. Have you forgotten that you’ll get a tummy ache if you eat cold food?” Anya was stunned but then she nodded happily. “Yes, that’s true. You’re so thoughtful, Sunny. I can always trust you to take care of me, but you should extend that consideration to others too. I’m sure the cold chicken wings will upset Corinne’s stomach too,” she said with a smile.

‘Ha! See that, Corinne? He doesn’t mind giving you cold food at all!’ thought Anya.

It was only then Sunny realized what he said was a little unfair to Corinne, so he quickly explained to her, “Ahem, don’t take this the wrong way, Corinne. My sister has been sickly since she was young, so she’ll get inflammation in her gut if she eats any cold food. However, for us healthy people, we’ll be fine eating these cold chicken wings.” To prove that he was not playing favorites, he then picked up a chicken wing and started to eat it.

Corinne had better things to do than to care about that. In fact, she would not even care a lick if Sunny was indeed playing favorites. Anya was his sister after all, so it would be normal for him to give her preferential treatment.

“If that’s the case, can I have all the chicken wings here?” asked Corinne.

Happy to know that Corinne really loved his chicken wings. Sunny smiled proudly and said, “Of course! You can have it all since you like it so much.” Corinne accepted the plate of chicken wings without hesitation. “Thanks! You can leave these here and the two of you can leave now.” Sunny was speechless. He did not want to leave. For some reason, he liked hanging out with Corinne. Not only was she funny but he felt as if she was family. He tried to come up with an excuse to stay there with her when he suddenly realized something odd.

“Corinne, why is there a towel wrapped around your neck?” he asked curiously.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 418-A weird expression flashed across Corinne’s face. She subconsciously touched the towel on her neck and said, “Oh… I was feeling cold!” Sunny frowned and said quizzically, “A towel can’t keep you warm at all. You should put on my jacket instead.” Then he turned to Anya and asked, “Anya, I’m sure you’re all warmed up by now, right?” Anya was stunned. “Yeah… I’m not cold anymore.”

“Can you please take off the jacket and give it to Corinne to wear? She fell into the pond earlier, so we need to make sure she doesn’t catch a cold,” he said seriously.

It was only then that Anya realized she was still wearing Sunny’s jacket. Her smile slowly faded at the way Sunny was asking her for the jacket.

“Oh… Okay. Yes, we must make sure Corinne doesn’t catch a cold.”novelxo.com fast update She had no choice but to kindly take the jacket off herself and give it back to Sunny.

Sunny took the jacket without hesitation and passed it to Corinne. “Here, put this on.” Corinned glanced at the jacket in front of her and then raised her eyebrow at the sincere -looking Sunny. She then smiled and waved her hand.

“No, thanks.” Sunny shoved the jacket into her hands and said, “Just put it on. There’s no need to be a stranger with me.” “I appreciate the gesture but there’s really no need…” However, Sunny would not take no for an answer. He thought she was just being polite so he grabbed the towel wrapped around her neck and forcefully put his jacket on her shoulders.

All of a sudden, the hickeys around Corinne’s neck were out in the open for everyone to see, causing them to start thinking.

Anya was initially stunned before she became angry. ‘Are those … Just how much does Jeremy love her to kiss her so fiercely?’ Sunny stared at the hickeys and all sorts of scenarios flashed through his mind.

Corinne turned beet red. She touched her forehead and tried to explain, “Umm… So…” “Corinne! Did your allergies flare up again?” asked Sunny seriously, thinking he had found the reason for her hickeys.

“Why didn’t you tell anyone? Wait here. I’ll call for an ambulance.” Corinne was speechless. The corners of her mouth began to twitch uncontrollably. She quickly stopped Sunny when she realized he was actually going to make a call.

“No, I’m okay. It’s not that serious this time. We shouldn’t tie up the emergency line with matters such as this. There could be people who are in more serious condition than me.” She would definitely be the talk of the hospitals in New Capital City if she was admitted to the hospital because of some 3/3 hickeys. Not to mention, she once was sent to the hospital in an ambulance because she was suffering from period cramps and she had Jeremy to thank for that.

Suddenly, she remembered that her period had not come this month. In fact, it should have come a couple of weeks ago.

“Corinne, stop being so stubborn. Having an allergic reaction is nothing to be ashamed about,” lectured Sunny seriously, insisting on calling the emergency hotline.

“I’m not being stubborn!” Corinne did not know what else to say. In fact, she was so close to being at a loss for words.

‘This kid is so annoying! It seems like he’s bent on making my life difficult. I seriously can’t tell whether he’s more annoying when he was being mean to me in the past or now when he’s being nice to me.’ Anya’s eyes became darker and darker, providing a stark contrast to her usual doe-eyed innocent look, when she saw how worried Sunny was over Corinne.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 419-“What are you all doing here?” asked Jeremy authoritatively.

Corinne and Sunny-who were still fighting over whether there was a need to call the emergency hotline-immediately turned toward him.

Jeremy stood emotionlessly, staring at them coldly from far away.

“Jeremy!”

The darkness in Anya’s eyes immediately dissipated when she realized Jeremy had come. She put on her innocent doe-eyed look and ran over to him.

“Jeremy, I came here to apologize to Corinne for the misunderstanding between us, but it doesn’t seem like she’s willing to forgive me,” she said with a pitiful sigh.

Jeremy glanced at Anya, and then at Sunny, before finally fixing his gaze on the jacket Corinne was wearing on her shoulder. He narrowed his eyes unkindly and asked, “Whonovelxo.com fast updatese jacket is that?” Corinne did not know how to answer him.

A chill went up Sunny’s spine as he tried to explain, “Corinne said she was cold, so I gave her my jacket to wear, and… She seems to be having an allergic reaction so I wanted to call an ambulance for her, but she stopped me… Jeremy, you should talk some sense into her.” Jeremy’s face darkened. He was already not happy to find out Corinne was wearing Sunny’s jacket, but the fact that Sunny stared worriedly at Corinne’s neck made him even angrier. After all, if Sunny’s gaze fell any lower, he would be looking at Corinne’s plunging neckline.

Jeremy walked slowly toward Corinne, completely ignoring Anya. He gestured coldly with his chin and said, “Be a good girl and give back the jacket to Sunny.” “Okay.” It was not like she wanted to wear it in the first place. Sunny was the one who forced the jacket onto her after ripping the towel off her neck. In fact, she had forgotten the jacket was even on her as all of her attention had been used to stop Sunny from calling an ambulance.

Corinne quickly took off the jacket and gave it back to Sunny. Subsequently, Jeremy took off his own jacket and wrapped it around Corinne so that only her head would show. There was no way he would let the others see her in that dress.

Sunny took back his jacket without making a fuss, but he still could not but worry about Corinne’s ‘allergic reaction’. He frowned and said, “Jeremy, about the hives on Corinne’s neck… ‘Why’s this kid still talking about her neck? Doesn’t he know to look elsewhere?’ thought Jeremy angrily.

He narrowed his eyes and reprimanded him, “This has nothing to do with you, kid. Us adults will take care of our own business. Take your sister to Lucas now.

I wouldn’t want him to blame me should anything happen to either of you.” Jeremy then put his arm around Corinne’s shoulder to steer her back into the room.

Anya remained rooted to the spot in shock. She watched as Jeremy and Corinne went back into the room. Without her even realizing, she was already chasing and shouting after them, “Jeremy, wait!” Jeremy paused in his tracks and asked, “Yes?” Anya looked at him with her big sad puppy dog eyes and said, Jeremy, do you still remember what you’ve promised me?” 11 Jeremy turned back to look at her with eyes filled with mixed emotions. He was silent for a while before answering softly.

“Yes. Don’t worry, I still remember.” Anya nodded like a little girl. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you then.” Corinne had no idea what they were talking about, but when she looked back at Anya, she realized that she was smiling in a way that gave her the creeps.

Moreover, Anya deliberately put her hand on her belly and looked at her provocatively.

Corinne suddenly remembered that Anya had a scar on her abdomen. According to Anya, the scar was from a c-section. procedure. She even told Corinne that she had a child with Jeremy.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 420-“What are you thinking about?” Corinne was suddenly pulled back from her thoughts when Jeremy scratched her lightly on the nose. He bent down lightly so that he could be at eye-level with her as she sat down on the bed.

“The barbecue grill was left unattended, so all the food got burnt. I’ve already asked someone to cook some fresh food for you and he’ll bring it over later,” said Jeremy gently.

Corinne was full from the chicken wings Sunny gave her, so she did not really care whether there would be new food coming in.

She raised her eyebrow slyly. “Mister, you’re not keeping any deep, dark secrets from me, right?” Jeremy hesitated slightly. He then knelt down before here, looked her deeply into the eyes, and shook his head. “No, I’m not.” “Good.”novelxo.com fast update Corinne was satisfied with his answer. She did not take Anya’s bullsh*t at all. In fact, she would have forgotten about the child matter if Anya had not smiled so creepily at her earlier.

After spending time with Jeremy for over two months, Corinne was sure about one thing-Jeremy’s impeccable character. She knew he was not the type that would abandon his own child.

Besides, knowing how much Anya liked to manipulate people, Corinne was also sure that Anya would definitely use their ‘so2/3 called kid’ to make Jeremy marry her. It would be out of character for Anya to keep it a secret.

Jeremy looked at her and asked, “Why did you suddenly ask me that?” Corinne shook her head. “Oh, it’s nothing. I was just curious, that’s all. By the way, do you want to try some of Sunny’s chicken wings? They’re really good.” She then picked up a chicken wing, which was sitting on top of the bedside table, and brought it over to Jeremy’s mouth.

Jeremy smiled and opened up his mouth. “Mm. You’re right. It’s delicious. You should have more since you like them so much, and we’ll go home after that.” Corinne nodded. “Okay.” Jeremy patted her on the head and looked at her with eyes full of adoration.

“Eat up, my little rascal.” He was secretly angry at himself for not taking better care of Corinne. His plan for the day was to bring her out to have some fun but in the end, the whole pond thing happened, so he swore to himself that he would never let something like that happen again.

It was already late at night by the time Jeremy and Corinne got back home.

He walked her to her room and said, “I’ll be going on an overseas business trip tomorrow. Make sure to take good care of yourself while I’m not here, okay? Don’t go out too much and don’t make me worry.” “How long will you be gone for?” “Around half a month.” Corinne frowned. “Why do you need to be there for so long?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Sounds like someone’s going to miss me. How about a goodbye kiss then?” He bent down and tilted his head sideway.

Corinne smiled but the smile did not reach her eyes. She then patted Jeremy’s cheek and said cheekily, “Haha, nice try, Mister. Have a safe trip and goodnight.” After that, she went into her room and locked the door.

Jeremy was speechless. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

‘That cheeky little rascal. I’m only asking for a kiss. Why does she like to torment me so much?’ Half a month later, Corinne had been spending all her time designing the headquarters of Holden Group in the time that Jeremy was abroad.
