Ch. 51..60

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 51-‘Lover?’ Corinne was dumbstruck. After a while, realization clicked in her mind, and she nearly chuckled.” Oh, I don’t know. His wife might try to give me a hard time!” Richard snorted confidently. “You bet! If you want me to keep this a secret, you have to think of a way to make Mister Jeremy agree to work with Alpha Enterprises!” Corinne sighed helplessly. “Mister Richard, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t do that. As you said, I’m just his lover. How could I have the power to change his mind regarding his work?” Richard smiled lustfully, scrunching his eyes and brows. “Why not? You girls just need to make a man happy on the bed. He could offer his life to you when he’s satisfied.” This disgusted Corinne. She sneered, “I don’t know how to do that. Why don’t you do it yourself? See if he’ll listen to you when you satisfy him.” Richard was stunned silent, and he exploded with rage. “Corinne Carew! You don’t have to pretend you’re a good girl with me! I saw your clothes in a mess when you were in his car! Do you really think you’re a different person just because you’re young and beautiful to be his lover? I’ll give you one last chance! Are you going to help me or not?” It was so funny how he behaved in such a way when he was the one asking for help.

Corinne did not panic and used the fork to pick up the dessert to put it into her mouth. She smiled. “I’m sorry. It’s out of my hands.” “You little ungrateful wench!” Richard smacked the table angrily and raised his hand to slap Corinne- “Don’t you feel shameful to be hitting a girl at such an old age?” A melodious, charming male voice was heard. Richard’s hand was stopped by that man, ceasing his swing.

He looked at the man who stopped him and reprimanded angrily, “Where did you come from? Get lost! Don’t be a busybody!” The man chuckled sardonically. “I’m her friend. Don’t think of laying a finger on her with me around, Obviously, Richard was weaker than the mystery man, especially when he was so much shorter than him. In the end, he gritted his teeth and took back his hand to point at Corinne unhappily. “My, my. It’s true when people say you shouldn’t judge a person by his cover. You look like a nice girl, but I didn’t know you have such a messed up personal life. Mister Jeremy wasn’t enough that you have to get yourself another guy.” He then cursed, “Fine! You’re not going to help, are you? Just wait. I’m going to make sure you regret it!” With that, he stormed off the coffee shop angrily.

Corinne merely smiled, unbothered by what Richard said, and continued to eat the dessert she ordered.

The hero pulled a chair and sat across from her elegantly. There was a cheerful smile on his sexy, handsome face. “Hey, we meet again today. Do you mind if I sit here?” She recognized he was the guy-the handsome guy-who tried to hit on her at Twilight.

“Yes, I mind,” she answered.

The sexy man smiled helplessly. “Is it nice of you to be treating me this way when I just rescued you?” Corinne glanced at him and said, “I think you can’t tell the difference between helping and being a busybody.” Even if the man did not stop Richard, Corinne would have never let Richard slap her. She was ready to use the fork to stab him so he would learn to not humiliate women.

The handsome man was intrigued as if he had found a new toy to play with.

“You’re a very special girl. My name is Jason Talbot. Let’s be friends.” Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Do you want to be my friend, or are you trying to make me your girlfriend?” Jason was dumbstruck. The smile on his face became brighter as he found her very interesting. “I want both. Can I?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 52-Corinne respected Jason for being honest in answering. Just as she was about to fight back, however… Jason smiled and stopped her from talking. “Wait, don’t answer that. It’s going to look bad on me if I continue to bother you when you specifically reject me.” From the way Corinne reacted, he was sure she was going to reject him. It was not going to happen, even if she tried to be polite.

This startled Corinne. At that point, she had a feeling that this man was very smart.

“Corinne Carew?” Jason tried to call her full name.

“Huh?” She had to look up at him because she was enjoying her dessert when he called her.

He smiled. “Nothing. I heard this name uttered just now, so I wanted to make sure it’s yours. How do you spell it? C-o-r-i-n-e?” “No. It’s C-o-r-i-n-n-e. Double n,” she corrected him.

“I see. Corinne Carew… What a lovely name. You look very lovely, too but your personality doesn’t really match your look,” he said.

Annoyed, she rolled her eyes at him. This, to Jason, looked adorable.

He chuckled. “Oh, that’s right. There’s a gallery open for the first viewing today.

Are you free? Do you want to go see it with me?” She shook her head without considering it. “No.” He was slightly disappointed, having been rejected. Nevertheless, it did not stop him from continuing to persuade her. “Are you sure? I heard the art gallery is exhibiting many famous paintings that were once lost in the world. It’s a once-ina-lifetime chance to see the real pieces!” Corinne still shook her head. “Thank you for the offer, but I should be heading home.” After all, Grandma Holden cooked soup for her and was waiting for her to go back to drink it.

Jason raised his hand to look at the time on his watch. It was not even four in the evening yet.” Going back home so soon? So you’re a good girl after all!” Corinne merely ignored him because there were incoming messages on her phone. The notification beeped a few times.

They were from Aaron.

[Aaron: Boss, I found Nellie Nymphaea’s works again!] [Aaron: I heard those three masterpieces were never exhibited to the public before ever since Nellie Nymphaea passed away.] [Aaron: Sparrow, Night Cat, and The Pink Flamingo!] The messages captured her attention, and without fall, she quickly straightened.

[Where are those paintings now?] she texted.

Aaron’s reply was instant. [They’re exhibiting in a private art gallery, but the owner of the art gallery only invited families and close friends. I can’t get an invitation. Boss, why don’t…you try to ask if Mister Jeremy is invited to the exhibition?] Corinne frowned and asked, [Who’s the owner of the art gallery?] Aaron replied.

(Jason Talbot, the eldest son of the Talbots. It was just recently that he returned here to work in the family business. I heard the paintings in the exhibition are his private collection, and the exhibition is only happening today.] Corinne gradually furrowed her eyebrows. She looked at the man sitting across from her. “Jason Talbot?” This was the first time Jason heard Corinne calling his name. He smiled.

“What’s wrong?” She asked, “Did you just invite me to see an art exhibition?” He nodded. “Well, yes.” She blinked and said, “Is it too late for me to change my mind and accept?” It was a surprise for him, but he nonetheless smiled. “Of course not! Though, why the sudden change of mind?” “I just realize there’s nothing for me to do if I go home, so I said to myself, ‘Why don’t I go to the art gallery with you and admired those paintings?” she explained.

“Sure, shall we?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 53-Therefore, Corinne left the coffee shop with Jason and got into his car.

Somewhere no one was noticing, a flashlight and a click sound from the camera appeared in a flash.

After Jason started the car and drove off, an orange sports car followed them.

“Tail them.” The one driving the sports car was called Felix, Sunny’s minion. “Sir,” he said, baffled by Sunny’s command, “why are we following Mister Jason?” Sunny stretched his hand out and smacked Felix from the passenger’s side.

“Idiot! Why do you think I’m following Jason? I’m after the woman in his car!” It was a piece of bad news to Felix. “Sir, don’t tell me you’re in love with Mister Jason’s woman!” Sunny knocked Felix’s head again. “Bullsh*t! Do you think I’d like that ugly woman? I’m not blind!” Felix scratched his head in confusion. ‘That woman isn’t ugly at all, though,’ he thought.

When he and Sunny stalked the pair, he noted how beautiful the woman was:

pure and cute, just like a little fairy.

Sunny furrowed his eyebrows and leaned back on the seat. With a serious expression, he crossed his arms at his chest. “That ugly woman is Jeremy’s wife, the one he married recently!” That information only worried Felix even more. “Uhh… Sir, it’s even worse if you’re in love with Mister Jeremy’s woman!” Ugh! If Felix was not driving, Sunny would have swung his leg and kicked Felix’s head to see if he had a brain at all.

“Cut that sh*t! I’m trying to reveal that ugly woman’s true colors! I want to show Jeremy what kind of bad person she is and help Rosie be with Jeremy!” Sunny explained.

Felix was helpless. “Sir, Miss Rosie wasn’t allowed to be with Mister Jeremy because of what happened in the past between the two families. It has nothing to do with other people…” “I don’t care! I’m not allowing the man Rosie likes to be with another woman!

Stop talking and drive faster! Don’t lose them!” blustered Sunny.

Sunny could not be bothered to argue with Felix. He took out his phone, selected the photo where Corinne got into Jason’s car, and sent it to Jeremy.

10 minutes passed, and there was no reply from Jeremy.

Sunny was anxious, but he did not dare to call Jeremy. Thus, he called another person.

“Francine? It’s me, Sunny.” Francine picked up the call curiously. “Oh, hi, Sunny. What’s up? Why did you call me?” “Francine, I spotted your sister-in-law is having an affair,” he said solemnly. “I’m following her and her lover now!” Francine was shocked by what Sunny said. “What?!” “Corinne is in another man’s car right now. I think they’re going to a hotel! I’m following behind them, but someone from your family should be here to witness the truth. Can you come over now? “Sunny asked.

“Sunny, are you serious about this? What an awful person Corinne is! How dare she do something like this to my brother? And my grandma was starting to be fond of her, too… Argh! I’m so angry!” hissed Francine.

The conversation continued with Francine telling Sunny how Corinne pushed her head into the toilet bowl and how Corinne acted nice and obedient when her grandma was around. She even included how Corinne tried to sabotage her relationship with her grandma and so on… Those incidents infuriated Sunny so much that he gritted his teeth vehemently.

“That fox is good at acting. Let’s show the world what kind of person Corinne really is!” Finally, Francie found someone who agreed with her. She was thrilled! “Yes! I’ll definitely go over to help you!” “Alright. I’ll send you the location later!” Sunny thought for a bit and added, “It’s going to be better if you bring your grandmother with you. That’ll put Corinne’s name on the wall of shame forever!” Francine nodded seriously. “I understand.

I’m going to persuade her now!” Hanging up, Sunny had a sinister smile on his face. ‘Corinne, you better watch out. This is the day you’re handed your death sentence!’ he mused to himself.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 54-Corinne and Jason arrived at an artistic building. He passed the car key to the valet for the valet to park his car. Later, he led Corinne into his art gallery like a gentleman.

The orange sports car was parked somewhere, not too far from the art gallery.

The people in the car were looking over.

“Sir, I think they’re just here to see the art exhibition,” Felix tried reasoning.

“They’re not having an affair as you think. The relationship between our family and Holdens is already bad. It’s just going. to make things worse if you continue to stalk Mister Jeremy’s newlywed wife!” Sunny thought otherwise. “You know nothing! There’s something fishy about them going to the art exhibition alone!” After that, he got out of the car and wanted to continue stalking Corinne in the art gallery, but the staff at the entrance stopped him. “I’m sorry, sir. You’ll need to have the invitation card to enter.” Sunny frowned unhappily. “I’m a Rivera. My family has been close to the Talbots for many years. Why can’t I go in?” After that, the staff went to check on the guest list with his colleague.

“We only have Mister Lucas Rivera on the guest list from the Riveras. This gentleman isn’t on the list.” “Then…” Sunny could hear them mumbling, so he cleared his throat. “My brother isn’t free today, so I’m attending on his behalf.” The staff thought for a while and said, “Let him in, then.” “Welcome, Mister Sunny.” “That’s more like it.” He raised his brows and walked right into the art gallery.

While Corinne was inside the art gallery, she looked at The Pink Flamingo, and her mind drifted away.

“It seems like you’re solely interested in the paintings from Nellie Nymphaea and not the other world-famous paintings,” Jason’s voice gently rang from behind her. He went to greet his friends before he went back to find Corinne.

She looked at him. “Yes. I like her paintings.” Out of curiosity, he asked, “Why do you like Nellie Nymphaea so much? Her works are very niche and not that popular in the mainstream.” “Because she’s my…idol!” Her feelings were mixed when she got to admire her mother’s earlier works. She nearly revealed that Nellie was her mother.

Jason chuckled. “I see. I had the honor of meeting your idol before.” Corinne’s gaze wavered as she stared at Jason. “You saw her before? When was it?” Jason nodded. “I saw her when I was still a child. My father bought these three paintings from her at that time too, and he then gave these three paintings to me.” Corinne’s eyes twinkled. “What kind of person do you think she is?” Jason recalled whatever he could and said, “She’s a very pretty woman. Gentle, and yet indifferent. She had her unique views on things. A proud and aloof person, just like how her works were never drawn to attract the majority.” He was right. The way Jason described her mother was the same as she remembered. Her mother was a proud and aloof person. However, her mother always treated her and the others in the family with gentleness and tenderness.

She asked, “Jason, are you selling those three paintings?” Undoubtedly, Jason knew what she was thinking. “You want to buy them?” She nodded.

Jason smiled. “Unfortunately, every piece in this gallery means a lot to me.

They’re not up for sale.” Corinne frowned. ‘This is going to be hard. How should I convince him to sell them to me?’

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 55-Suddenly, Jason bent down and got close to Corinne’s ear. He whispered, “But, if you like them, I can give them to you….as proposal gifts for your hand in marriage.” Corinne grimaced and shot him an annoyed stare. She was going to ignore his joke, but as she tried to think of a way to get Jason to sell those paintings to her, an ominous feeling rose in her chest.

She frowned, and her expression was looking terrible, too.

Jason noticed Corinne was feeling unwell and asked, “What’s wrong?” There was sweat coming out of her forehead, and her lips had turned pale. “I’m just…not feeling quite well.” Jason looked worried. “Did you catch a cold because of the low temperature in the art gallery?” “M-Maybe.” She gritted her teeth uncomfortably. She even started to shiver.

Jason took off his jacket to put it on her. He said softly, “Let me bring you to the lounge so you can rest. There’s no air-conditioner there, so the temperature is slightly warmer.” “Thank you.” Corinne had a hard time standing firmly. In the end, she had to accept Jason’s support just so she could walk to the lounge.

Meanwhile, Sunny, sneakily hiding, recorded everything with his phone. He snorted. “Tsk! It’s broad daylight, and they’re heading toward the empty lounge by themselves. If that’s not something, I don’t know what is!” With evidence at hand, he quickly shared the location of the art gallery with Francine.

Corinne and Jason arrived in the lounge, and her face had gotten paler by the minute. Not only was she shivering, but her teeth even clattered slightly too.

Jason brought a glass of hot water for her. “Are you feeling better? Should I send you to the hospital?” It was so uncomfortable for her that she had to hug her stomach. Despite the pain, she shook her head. “It’s fine. I just need to rest for a while. Don’t worry about me. Go and be with your friends.” He refused, of course, and sat beside her. The worry in his eyes was not fake.

“Are you afraid of the hospital?” Corinne was caught off-guard by this, but she did not deny it. No one liked to have their mind read. It was true that she did not like the hospital.

When she was young, her mother brought her to the hospital to get treated, but when she woke up, her mother was gone. She had to be alone in the hospital for seven days, and each day was a nightmare for her.

Not long later, her father showed up and told her that her mother had passed away. He took her home with him after she was discharged from the hospital.

‘Hit the nail on the head, then,’ Jason thought. Instead of asking on that matter, he said, “My personal doctor will be here soon. Why don’t you lie down and take some rest? I’ll wake you up when the doctor arrives.” “Thank you.” The pain rendered Corinne in a feeble state, so she did not reject the offer.

She did as she was told and went to lie on the bed in the lounge. She curled up into a ball with the thought that it could soothe some of the stomach pain she was feeling.

Jason’s jacket was still on her body. Nevertheless, Jason asked for a blanket to put on her.

Meanwhile… “Francine, you silly girl. Why did you bring me to this art gallery? You know that I’m not a fan of those paintings. I was in the middle of cooking soup for Corinne.“ Francine, walking into the art gallery with Pamela, said with hidden intent, “Grandma, your favorite granddaughter-in-law is in there too!”, Pamela was stunned as she looked at Francine with disbelief. “Are you saying Corinne is here too?” Francine smiled cynically and nodded.

The staff of the art gallery recognized Pamela and did not stop her from going in. Instead, they welcomed her with the highest respect.

After Francine brought Pamela to reunite with Sunny, both of them started to rush toward the lounge with Pamela in the hope to catch Corinne having an affair.

The staff of the art gallery tried to stop Sunny. Alas, the staff failed. With a kick on the door, they entered the lounge. Coincidentally, Corinne was in Jason’s arms looking very weak… In the beginning, Pamela was still curious about how Francine and Sunny acted.

When she saw the situation in the room, she was shocked.

“Corinne! W-What are you doing?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 56-At that moment, Corinne raised her head and, spotting Pamela, was stunned.

Despite feeling weak, she feebly greeted, “Grandma? Why are you here…?” Before Pamela could say anything. Francine stepped forward with her arms on her waist and scolded, “Corinne Carew! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? The Holdens would never allow a sl*t like you to be part of the family!” Sunny looked pleased with the result and joined in, saying, “Corinne, you’re caught red-handed! Stop pretending!” Corinne’s eyebrows furrowed. At that moment, she did not have the energy to argue with them.

Unlike the others who barged into the lounge, Jason stood quietly and watched them before turning his attention back to Corinne. She looked pale, still. He was amazed by the relationship between her and the people who barged in.

Gradually, he connected all the dots.

After he helped Corinne to sit steadily, he got up and smiled. “Hello, ma’am. I didn’t know you were coming. Why didn’t you send someone to notify me in advance? If I knew it earlier, I’d be at the door to welcome you.” Francine cut in again and snorted with disdain. “You *sshole! How are we going to catch you two red-handed if we informed you ahead? Besides, my grandma doesn’t need to be welcomed by people like you!” Jason remained smiling and gave Francine a glance, but he ignored her. He tried to explain to Pamela peacefully, “Ma’am, Corinne is resting here because she felt sick. She wanted to go to the bathroom, and she nearly fell due to how weak she was. I was just helping her when you guys came in.” Sunny sneered sarcastically, “Oh, how nice of you. Do you really think we’re going to believe what you said? It’s just an excuse. What else can a man and a woman do when they stay in the room by themselves?” Jason’s charming eyes glared at Sunny pointedly. Even though he had a smile on his face, it felt more like he was unhappy with what he just heard. “Oh?

You’re here too, Mister Sunny? I don’t. recall you being invited to this art exhibition.” Sunny was embarrassed when he remembered he cheated his way in. “Ahem! I attended on my brother’s behalf.” Jason scoffed, “Is that so?” Just then, Rosie walked into the lounge. She had no idea what was happening.

“Sunny, here your are! I’ve been looking for you. Why did you ask me to come here in a hurry? What’s going on?” When she got the call from Sunny, she was having afternoon tea with her best friends. Knowing it was about Corinne’s affair, she rushed over swiftly to take a look.

Sunny pointed at Corinne, who was still sitting on the bed. “Rosie, look. I caught her red-handed. She’s not only a thief, but she’s having an affair too!” Rosie looked over and saw Corinne on the bed with a blanket over her body.

She then saw Jason standing beside Corinne. A surprised, disappointed expression appeared on her face. “Corinne… How could you…? Oh my god! I can’t believe you’d do such a thing!” Corinne looked back at Rosie and did not say anything. The sick feeling that plagued her caused her face to look pale. To the others, she looked like she was worried because she got caught having an affair.

Rosie sighed with a broken heart. She walked over to Pamela who had been keeping quiet the entire time and reached out her hand to hold Pamela’s hand.

“Ma’am, please stay calm. Since this has happened, there’s nothing we can do to change it. We’ll just have to wait for Jeremy to find out and see what his decision is.” Pamela had a serious expression on her face. She did not care about what Rosie said and also evaded Rosie’s hold. Her sharp yet aged eyes continued to look at Corinne. Deep in her heart, she refused to believe what Sunny and Francine said.

“Corinne, tell me what happened. I want to listen to your side of the story.” The dumbstruck Rosie pulled back her hand awkwardly.

The pain in Corinne’s stomach got even worse, and she gasped.

Her expression looked determined when she raised her head to look back at Pamela. “Grandma, I came here to look at the paintings, but I felt sick-so I came here to rest. Mister Jason was being kind to help me when I nearly fell.” No doubt, Corinne’s face and complexion did match that of a sick person’s.

Pamela’s gaze softened. She asked with worry, “Feeling sick? How?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 57-When Francine knew her grandmother, Pamela, was going to believe what Corinne said, she quickly cut in. “Grandma, don’t listen to her! Don’t let her lie to you again. If she was sick, why didn’t she go to the hospital? Why did she instead stay in this room with another man? Our family would never allow such a shameless woman into the family. Corinne Carew is a bad person. She didn’t just have an affair; she even stole Rosie’s watch yesterday. Ask Rosie about it!” Rosie, pretending to be generous and forgiving, shook her head. “Ma’am, I’m fine. It’s just a watch, and it’s not really that expensive. Though, what Corinne has done now… It’s unforgivable. She betrayed Jeremy.” Corinne’s face was as white as a piece of paper. Still, she managed a smile as she continued to ignore Rosie and the others. Pulling the blanket away from her, she tried to stand up. “You may choose to not believe me, Grandma, but I’d never do anything that would bring shame to the Holdens.” It was haunting for Pamela to see Corinne trying to stand up with her pale face.

She was going to ask Corinne to sit.

However, Sunny got impatient and walked toward Corinne, grabbing her by the collar. “Stop blabbering, you demon! No one is going to believe what you said.

It’s better that you admit it and leave the Holdens before anyone kicks you out!” Jason came over and took Sunny’s hand away. “Let go of her! Can’t you tell she’s sick right now?” Sunny scoffed. “Oh, my. Are you trying to protect her? Seriously, just admit that you guys have something going on!” Jason was not about to argue back because Sunny was still a kid to him. “We have nothing to say because we’re not having an affair! Mister Sunny, I suggest that you better watch what you’re saying. There is a price to pay for making false accusations.” Before this, Jason had been nothing but genial and all smiles. However, he finally had enough and squinted sternly while encompassing a defensive vibe.

This, no doubt, intimidated Sunny.

He mumbled, “Hmph! I wasn’t making false accusations! You two were hiding in here having an affair, and we caught you two red-handed!” This time, Jason did not care about what Sunny said. He turned around to look at Corinne while he grabbed her swaying body. “Corinne, how are you feeling?

Are you alright?” Corinne shook her head.

“What are you guys doing in here?” rang a mature, deep male voice from the door. It sounded very calm and peaceful, yet it sounded dangerously ominous as well.

Startled, everyone turned to look back.

Jeremy was standing tall and upright at the door of the lounge. His hands were in his pocket. His handsome face was straight and cold.

There was another person behind him. It was Tommy. His face looked very serious too.

Francine got all worked up when Jeremy showed up. She ran over to him.

“Jeremy, you’re just in time! Corinne is having an affair with that man over there.

We caught her red-handed!” Jeremy frowned. “Shut up!” Francine was scared witless by this.

‘He must be really angry to find out Corinne cheated on him!’ she thought and did not dare do anything else.

After all, in her mind, Corinne could not possibly weasel her way out of this!

Jeremy’s eyes looked sinister as he saw Jason grabbing Corinne by her shoulders.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 58-Rosie was sure this was the climax of this escalating tension. She felt a sort of joy when she felt Corinne’s misfortune approaching. ‘This is karma for ruining my watch! Won’t it be nice if I can actually say she deserves it?’ Rosie pretended to sigh and approached Jeremy, attempting to console him by saying, “Jeremy, don’t be angry. No one expected Corinne to betray you…” Jeremy glanced at her for just a second before looking back at Corinne. He said coldly, “Come here.” Despite all that happened, Corinne was very calm. She expressed her gratitude to Jason, who helped her, and slowly walked toward Jeremy as she was told.

“Mister…” Before she reached Jeremy, however, a dizzy feeling hit her, and she nearly fell again. Jeremy’s long arms managed to catch her, and he pulled her to his form, furrowing his eyebrows as he did.” Is this what you got? Why is your body so weak?” The sick feeling overwhelmed her, and it did not help that Jeremy mocked her for being in such a state. If she had the slightest energy left, she would have punched him. ‘Come on! I’m not hoping that he’d be worried about me, but can he at least show some sympathy?’ she thought.

Rosie, Sunny, and Francine were dumbstruck when they saw Jeremy embracing Corinne nervously. They had a feeling that Jeremy did not care that Corinne was cheating on him and was instead more worried about Corinne’s well-being.

After leaning on Jeremy’s body for a while to rest, Corinne finally gathered enough energy to look up. She asked, “Hey, where’s the thing I requested you buy?” This confused everyone. ‘What thing?” Whatever it was, it made Jeremy flustered. The cold, mature man was never seen with that expression before.

Within a second, he took out a sanitary pad from the pocket of his exquisite formal suit and passed it to Corinne.

“Thank you!” Once Corinne got her hand on the sanitary pad, she quickly left him to head toward the bathroom, albeit weakly.

Jeremy gave Tommy a look. Immediately, Tommy turned around to accompany Corinne.

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly took an awkward twist. Rosie, Sunny, and Francine were dumbstruck. The almighty, superior person in their mind would actually help a woman purchase a sanitary pad?

Without a doubt, Pamela knew there was no trust issue between Corinne and Jeremy. It was definitely not what Francine had told her.

Therefore, she walked over and asked, “Jeremy, what’s going on? You knew Corinne was here, too?” Jeremy nodded. “Yes, I do. She told me she came here for the art exhibition.

When she was feeling sick, she texted me to come pick her up.” The people were stunned, especially Sunny and Francine. Their faces reddened.

‘What is going on? Did Corinne ask Jeremy to come here? Why would she tell Jeremy before she was going to cheat on him? What the hell is going on?!’ they thought.

Pamela recalled Corinne’s weak face and got worried. “Jeremy, you should bring Corinne to the hospital to check since she’s feeling sick.” Jeremy’s eyes darkened. He reached for his glabella and pinched it. “Don’t worry, Grandma. She’s fine. It’s normal for a woman to be sick for a few days every month. I’ll bring her to the hospital later.” It just struck Pamela that Corinne is having her period. Corinne was feeling uncomfortable because of the menstrual pain!

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 59-Having known there was no major problem with Corinne’s body, Pamela was finally able to rest her heart.

On the other hand, it showed that Corinne was not pregnant. The old woman sighed regrettably. Her great-grandchild would have to wait until next month, at the earliest.

Since things did not progress the way Sunny expected, he was not able to give up. He walked over and said, “Jeremy, before you arrived, Corinne was lying in here with that man. No one knew what they were doing in here before we came.

You should divorce that shameful woman!” Jeremy looked back at him. “Why are you not in school? Why are you paying so much attention to my wife?” A chill crawled up Sunny’s back. He gulped. “I…I took a day off today!” Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “To stalk my wife?” Sunny mumbled, “I…I accidentally spotted her, so I decided to follow her. Then, I saw her meeting other men…” The expression on Jeremy’s face remained unchanged. He squinted. “Sunny Rivera, let me remind you. She’s married to me and is my wife; she’s not a prisoner. It’s her choice to go anywhere and meet anyone. As her husband, I have total trust in her that she won’t do anything outside of the boundary.” Unconvinced, Sunny raised his voice and argued, “But she did do something outside of the boundary! She was lying on the bed with another man!” Francine chimed in as she got closer, “Brother, Corinne really did-” Jeremy stared at her pointedly. “Why are you fooling around with Sunny, bringing Grandma here while you’re at it? Do you know how frail she is? What are you going to do if anything happens to her?” That look from Jeremy terrified Francine. “Brother, I-” “Take her back, now,” Jeremy ordered sternly.

“Yes…” Francine did not dare argue and did as told.

The event took a turn, and it was not what Rosie expected. Despite that, she gave it a thought and pretended to be nice by consoling, “Jeremy, Sunny and Francine are still kids. Though, they did this because they care too much about you.” “Then, what about you?” Jeremy looked at Rosie coldly.

Rosie’s face stiffened. “Um… I… It’s the same with me, too…” Jeremy was displeased. “I get it that they’re still young and adolescent. But don’t tell me you’re the same, too.” Rosie frowned unhappily. “But we did see Corinne sleeping on that bed…” “She was just here for the art exhibition, and she rested in this room because she felt sick. Is there a problem with that?” Jeremy’s voice was deep and calm.

It portrayed his unwavering determination.

Rosie’s eyes wavered. “Do you trust her that much? So much that you don’t believe the thing we see with our own eyes?” Jeremy said, “I have no reason to trust people who are bored with their lives over my wife.” Rosie was dumbstruck. No words were able to describe how shocked she was.

This was not the first time she saw how Jeremy cared for Corinne, especially when they ate together the other day. At this moment, she experienced just how deeply Jeremy trusted Corinne.

She had to hand it to Corinne; Corinne was a powerful enemy.

The incident ended just like that. Francine brought Pamela back home, and Rosie dragged Sunny away.

There were only two men left in the lounge, exchanging looks with each other.

The aura was a mystery.

After a while, Jason shrugged elegantly and chuckled. “Hey, Jeremy. It’s been a long time since. we last met.”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 60-Jeremy gave Jason a light response. “When did you come back?” Jason walked to him with a cheerful smile. “Over a week ago. I came back in a hurry and didn’t have the time to look for you, Zeke, and the others!” Jeremy felt alright. “No worries. We can do that when you’re free.” Jason smiled again. “Actually, we met each other when we were in Twilight the other day. You were too busy and occupied at that time, so I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to greet you.” “Is that so?” There were no changes to Jeremy’s expression, but a hint of coldness flashed by his long eyes.

They did see each other from a far distance when they were in Twilight. It was the day Corinne lost when she played a game with other people in the Snow Room. The ‘punishment’ she received was to kiss a man, and the man she chose was, in fact, Jason.

Jason said, “I heard that you just got married. Too bad I missed the wedding.” Jeremy’s lips curled into a small smile as he said, “That’s not a problem at all.

My wife and I can throw a wedding dinner just for you one day.” This caught Jason off-guard, and it flabbergasted him. “That’s great. I’ll look forward to it!” Right then, Tommy rushed into the lounge. “Sir, Miss Corinne doesn’t look so well. Her nose started to bleed for no reason.” Jeremy furrowed his brow and left the lounge immediately to head to the bathroom. Jason. followed suit.

The washing area in the bathroom was shared between the male and female bathrooms. Corinne was bending over at the sink to wash her nose. The ceramic bowl was wet with her blood diluted. by the water.

Once she finished, she rubbed the tissue into two oblongs to stuff it into her nostrils in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

The moment she turned around, Jeremy was standing behind her, looking at how silly and pitiful she was. His eyes were looking as if they were teasing her.

She was still feeling very weak, and her eyes were dull. “Mister, I’m done. We can go now.” After that, she tried to walk over unsteadily. As she passed by Jeremy, she tried to hold herself together to leave the place.

Jeremy furrowed his eyebrow and turned around. It only took two steps from him-before he reached for her and hoisted her in his arms.

It startled Corinne. “Mister? What are you doing?!” “Just look at how weak you are. We’re going to the hospital,” Jeremy said.

“No, I don’t want to go!” Corinne insisted.

He looked down at her. The pale face and weak body tore his heart. Corine was so weak that she did not even have the energy to struggle. “Be a good girl and listen to me. Before our marriage is over, your health is connected to me in all sorts of ways. I’m not interested in becoming a widower at such a young age.” ‘Ah, so that’s why.’ Corinne frowned and stretched her lips into a smile. “Don’t worry, mister, I’ll still be very much alive when you’re dead.” It was quite relieving to see her still acting tough when she was weak. Jeremy teased, “Then you’re going to be a widow when I die.” Corinne smiled impishly. “Isn’t that nice? As your spouse, I’m entitled to inherit your wealth, and I can get rid of having a husband at home!” Jeremy’s expression flattened, but he could not help but chuckle nonetheless. “I guess I need to be careful to prevent you from killing me.” Corinne rolled her eyes and looked to the other side so she would not have to see his face.

‘Oh well, I’ll just let him carry me if that’s what he wants,’ she thought.

The pain was so intolerable that she did not have the energy to struggle or even walk. She felt like she was a mermaid who exchanged her tail with the witch for feet. Every single step she took was like walking on shattered glasses.

The only difference was the painful part was her stomach instead of her feet.
