Ch. 621..630
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 621-“What?” asked Jeremy indifferently as if he did not think he did anything wrong.
Corinne glared at him and said, “You’re a guy so why did you ask for the OBGYN’s number? Aren’t embarrassed at all?” Jeremy looked down at her condescendingly and smirked. “The OB-GYN is for you.” you She knew what he was getting at and an alarm bell instantly went off in her head. She frowned and took a deep breath to compose herself. After squeezing
out a smile on her face, she said, “Thank you but I don’t need to see an OBGYN specialist. I’ve always made sure to keep my s*x life clean so I have no problemn. down there” Jeremy narrowed his eyes “Are you sure about that?” Although Edmund did not find any record of Corinne having visited any OB-GYN specialist, Jeremy was suspicious of her ever since he saw her retching for no good reason. The fact that she was trying to avoid. the whole conversation made him even sure she was pregnant.
‘She’s pregnant huh and it’s mine. He was going to get to the bottom of this no matter what!
Corinne rolled her eyes. “Yes!” Jeremy smiled faintly at her. “You don’t have to be a stranger around me. We were married after all so take this check-up as my treat.” Corinne was speechless. What the hill? I’ve been treated to a meal by others many times but this is the first time I’ve ever come across someone treating me to a check-up! Ugh, forget it! The most important. thing now is to take him to see the ophthalmologist.’ She devised a plan to leave as soon as Jeremy finished checking up on his eye.
H’ll would freeze over before she went to see the OB-GYN specialist with him in tow.
In the ophthalmologist’s room.
The elderly ophthalmologist spread open Jeremy’s left eye and shone a flashlight on it to do a thorough check-up. novelxo.com fast update Corinne, who was standing at the side, asked, “How is it, doctor? Is his eye okay?” The elderly ophthalmologist put down the flashlight and said, “Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. The internal bleeding is caused by an external impact. I’ll prescribe an anti-inflammatory eye drop which he needs to use three times daily and the blood clot should go away after a few days.
Corinne breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s great to hear and thank you for prescribing the medicine for him.” After that, Corinne went to the dispensary with the elderly ophthalmologist’s prescription in hand. When she came back, she passed the eyedrop to Jeremy and asked, “Do you want to do it yourself or do you need my help?” Jeremy glanced at the eyedrop and instead of taking it from her, he simply crossed his legs and leaned back his head on the hospital chair, waiting for her to serve him.
Corinne was speechless. What a spoiled man!” She scoffed, walked up to him, and roughly lifted his chin so that it’ll be easier for her to put the eyedrops into his eye. After that, she twisted open the cap of the eyedrop, used her other hand to spread open his left eye, and dripped the eyedrop in.
“All done. Remember to use the eyedrop again before you go to sleep. Starting from tomorrow, you’ll need to use it three times per day. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now,” said Corinne while putting the eyedrop in Jeremy’s hand. She then turned around and left without looking back.
However, she did not manage to take a step before Jeremy pulled her back by the wrist. “What’s the hurry? It’s your turn to do the check-up now.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 622-“Please stop joking around, Mister Jeremy. Why do I need to go for a check-up when I’m not sick?” Corinne mustered all her strength to pull her hand away from his grip but failed to do so. She was on the brink of exhaustion.
‘Where’s that Edmund? Why isn’t he back here yet?’ she thought.
“Just what are you afraid of, Corinne?” Jeremy stood up and pulled her to him. He looked straight into her eyes condescendingly as though he was trying to read her mind.
Feeling guilty, Corinne subconsciously shifted her gaze away from his.
“You’re reading too much into this, Mister Jeremy. I’m just worried that I might bump into someone! know. Imagine what my husband would think then? Me; A married woman, going to see an OB-GYN specialist with someone else other than my husband! Why, that would ruin both of our reputations!” Jeremy scoffed. “Why should we worry about what our husbands or others think of us when we have done nothing wrong? Let’s go, Miss Corinne.” “Let go of me! I’m not going!” Corinne dragged her feet across the floor and put up a fierce struggle. However, her resistance only served to fuel Jeremy’s suspicion. He was almost a hundred percent sure that his guess was right.
Unable to drag Corinne, he simply scooped her up and strode confidently toward the OB-GYN department with her in his arms. There was no room for Corinne to fight back or escape throughout the whole journey. and just like that, she was carried to the OB-GYN department for a blood test.
‘Sh*t! He’s too smart for me to fool! What should I do now? Would he ask me to get rid of the child once he found out I’m pregnant? But this pregnancy was an accident though I can see why, given our non- existent relationship, he would ask me to get rid of the baby.
However, in the two months she was pregnant, she caught feelings for the baby.
She saw the baby as hers alone and not hers and Jeremy’s. She wanted to give birth to the baby so that she would have a family of her own but now it seemed like there was a chance she might lose the baby.
She wanted to run away from the OB-GYN specialist’s room but Jeremy was keenovelxo.com fast updateping a close watch over her as if he knew what she was planning to do. He was also sitting in a way that would prevent her from .running anywhere.
The seconds ticked by and each of them felt like years to Corinne. After a while, the result of the blood test came out. The OB-GYN specialist looked at the result and smiled happily. “Congratulations, Miss Carew. You’re going to be a mom!” Corinne inhaled sharply when she heard that.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and looked at her with great interest. “Miss Corinne, how do you explain this?” Corinne looked down at her hands in guilt. “I-” ‘Why is he asking that when he already knows what’s going on? What else does he want me to say? That I’m going to have a virgin birth?’ At that moment, the OB-GYN specialist looked at the energetic couple with the blood test result in her hand and said, “The two of you should refrain from having Intercourse at the moment since the pregnancy is only twenty days into the first trimester. It’s best to wait until the pregnancy has stabilized before having any intercourse.” Jeremy was stunned and the fire in his eyes immediately went out. He snapped his head around and asked the OB-GYN specialist, “I’m sorry but how long did you say she has been pregnant?” The way he was staring at her caused a chill to run up her spine. “Twe- twenty days. The baby isn’t stabilized yet so it’s better to wait until then.” Twenty. Days.
Jeremy instantly lost his composure. He grabbed the blood test result to confirm what the OB-GYN specialist said was true.
There, staring back at him were indeed the words – 20 days into the 1st trimester.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 623-Twenty days.
‘That means she got pregnant after leaving me! The baby in her tummy belongs to her and her husband!” Jeremy was gripping the paper so hard that his knuckles started to make popping sounds. He gritted his teeth and flung the paper coldly toward Corinne’s face.
“You know how to play it close huh, Corinne! It didn’t take you long to get pregnant with another man after leaving me, did it!” “How rude of him!’ Corinne was angry at the way he was talking to her. She picked up the blood test result and looked at it quizzically. “Why does it say I’m
pregnant for twenty days only? What’s going on here?’ She was as confused as anyone else because she should be two and a half months pregnant by then. Plus, she was with any other man apart from Jeremy so how could she get pregnant again?
All of this happened so unexpectedly but after thinking about it, she thought it might just as well since she could use this to end things with Jeremy once and for all. She took a breath to collect her thoughts before beaming a smile at Jeremy, “Thank you for bringing me here for a check-up, Mister Jeremy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found out I was pregnant. I can’t wait to go back home and tell my husband the good news so may I go now?” ‘How could she be so heartless? Is this all a game to her? She might as well don’t say anything,’ thought Jeremy.
His face darkened and he glared at her vehemently. “Get out of here! I don’t ever want to see you again so make sure you never show your face around me in the future!” he said between gritted teeth.
Even though Corinne did not want to have anything to do with him anymore, she still feel saddened to realize that they ended things with a misunderstanding. I’m not the loose woman he thinks I am.” She pursed her lips into a thin line, thinking whether she should clear up the misunderstanding but then decided not to since that would just make everything messier. “I should just let the whole thing slide. It’s not like we’re together anymore so he can think whatever he wants of me. It’ll just make my life more difficult if I explain everything to him now. The most important thing is to keep thnovelxo.com fast updatee baby safe.’ “Fine. I promise to never show myself around you again.” She then turned around and strode out of the suffocating room.
-Jeremy, too, left the OB-GYN room. He looked like he went through hell and back. Not knowing where he could vent his anger, he closed his eyes weakly and took a deep breath. He felt as if his soul was sucked away from his body; his brain was all jumbled up.
Having no choice but to put his hand on the wall for support, he then collapsed on the hospital chair, He then dropped his head helplessly into his hands. Just a few minutes ago, he happily thought the baby Corinne was carrying inside of her to be his and that it was conceived on that fateful night.
Then he would have a reason to ask her to come back to him. However, reality punched a hole in his place. The baby was not his! ‘How could she get pregnant so fast with another man? No woman has ever played me like this! Twenty days.
That means she hooked up with him straight after she left me. Is that how she sees me? That I’m nothing to her? Huh! You’re going to pay for this, Corinne.’ At that moment, in a secluded corner, a woman in a wheelchair was watching him quietly from the dark. Suddenly, a sinister smile broke out on her innocentlooking face.
Chap
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 624-Anya was seated in her wheelchair and smiling sinisterly and smugly. It was a good thing Lucas brought her to this hospital. If not she would not have seen Jeremy and Corinne going into the OB-GYN department together.
Thus, she bribed the OB-GYN specialist to tamper with the blood test result because she knew Jeremy would not pay any attention to her and Joey anymore once he found out Corinne was pregnant with his kid. No way was she going to let that happen!
Jeremy must think Corinne is a loose woman after finding out the baby she’s carrying isn’t his. He’ll stop thinking about her now. Ha! You failed to steal
Jeremy away from me this time, Corinne Carew.” Suddenly, Rosie’s voice came from behind her. “Anya, why did you come here without telling me?” Anya turned her wheelchair around and beamed an innocent smile at Rosie.
“Oh, I came out to get some fresh air ’cause I was feeling a little suffocated in the ward How’s my brother, Rosie?” Rosie frowned with sadness at the thought of Lucas’s injuries. She could not bear to see someone she loved getting hurt like that.
“The doctor put him in a cast. He said there is some minor bone breakage that would require him to take some bedrest for a while. Edmund is currently taking care of him as we speak ” Anya pretended to sigh sadly and said, “I hope he won’t suffer any after-effects from this. It never crossed my mind that Jeremy would fight with Lucas because of Corinne.” At the mention of ‘Corinne the instigator’, Rosie could not help but grit her teeth in hatred.
*Jeremy always respected Lucas so the fact that he would start a fight with him must be because Corinne said something to drive a wedge between them. That Corinne is nothing but a menace! The more Rosie thought about her, the angrier she got. How she wished she could strangle that woman there and then!
As usual, Anya put on her weak and helpless act. “I also think Corinne went too far this time. She caused both Jeremy and Lucas to get hurt! I wonder if Jeremy is okay? Did he go to see a doctor?” “And you too, Anya! Don’t forget you’re in a wheelchair because of her too!
Trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. She’s just bad luck! Just wait! I swear I’m going to get someone to get rid of her once novelxo.com fast update and for all,” said Rosie angrily.
Anya secretly smiled when she saw Rosie getting all riled up about Corinne.
Yes, this is exactly what I -want. I hope this stupid woman gets rid of Corinne quickly so I don’t have to do it myself. This way I can keep my hands clean so no one will ever suspect me.” However, she had good reason to be very afraid after witnessing what happened in the Lovelaces today. The three of them – Anya, Lucas, and Rosie – were chatting in the guest room when a knock suddenly came from the door but before any one of them could open it, Jeremy barged in with a bang, grabbed Lucas by the collar, and punched him in the face.
Lucas, who was punched for no reason, became blinded by anger, and without even thinking about it, he punched Jeremy back. Thus, the two men ended up in an all-out brawl. They were evenly matched in strength and both of them sustained quite several injuries.
Even though the two families did not get along, they always maintained the basic etiquette on the surface. Therefore, nothing as unseemly as a big fistfight ever occurred between the two families.
Everything happened so fast that it shocked Anya and Rosie. They quickly called Edmund over to break up the fight.
Lucas wiped the blood away from the corner of his lips and stared at Jeremy contemptuously. “You dare to betray my sister and raise your fist against me for a wild girl who dumped you? Jeremy, have you gone insane?” Jeremy’s eyes were as cold as ice. “You do well to remember that no matter what she did, you’re not. allowed to touch Corinne! You and the whole Rivera Group would die by my hands if you dare to so much as look at her wrong!” After that, he got up, straightened his tie, and cracked his neck. He then walked out of the room without even looking back at anyone, leaving the shocked girls and injured Lucas in his wake.
Anya always knew Corinne was important to Jeremy but it was only then she realized just how important she was to him. ‘Did he lose his cool and rush over her just to avenge her?” Thus, it was easy to see why Anya was jealous of Corinne and why she wanted her dead. ‘I must get rid of her as soon as possible! she thought.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 625-Meanwhile, Corinne came home in a taxi.
Throughout the whole taxi ride, her mind flitted between Jeremy’s injuries, the look he gave her before she left, and the misunderstanding between them.
‘Gah! This is so frustrating! she thought.
Mimi came to rub her legs as soon as Corinne entered the door..
Corinne changed into her indoor slippers before scooping Mimi up and burying her head against its fur. Only then did she feel a bit better.
Aaron was brewing coffee in the kitchen. Seeing her back home, he asked, “Why are you back so early? Did you get anything out of the party?” Corinne sat down on the sofa with Mimi in her arms and leaned back lazily.
“Yeah, I did.” Although she was forced into being the Lovelaces’ honorary granddaughter, it could still be counted as getting something out of the party since it would be easier for her to look into all that happened in the Lovelace family.
Aaron sensed something was off about her so he asked, “Then why do you look so sad?” “I’m just tired,” Corinne replied weakly.
Aaron passed her a glass of warm milk. “What’s the matter? Did you dance too much at the party?” Corinne accepted the glass of milk but not before rolling her eyes at him. She then took a sip of the milk and told him everything that happened at the OBGYN department.
Aaron raised his brows in alarm after hearing her story. “Someone must have tampered with the blood test result but who could it be?” Corinne scoffed. “If I guessed correctly, it should be Anya. After all, only she would do something like this.
After thinking about it, Aaron nodded in agreement. “Actually she has helped yonovelxo.com fast updateu in a way. If not, Jeremy would have found out you’re carrying his kid!” Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Yeah, you’re right.” “Well, he already thinks we’re married so we might as well let him think you’re carrying my baby. It’s the perfect setup to dispel any suspicions he might have of us.” ‘He’s right again, but,’ Corinne looked down listlessly at her hands as the milk in her mouth became bitter.
Aaron knew she was down so he moved closer to her and asked, “Be honest with me, boss. You still care about him, right? That’s why you’re sad that he thinks you’re a loose woman.” Corinne could not bring herself to tell him just how hurt she was. Ever since she was young, she never cared about what others thought of her so she did not understand why she cared so much about what Jeremy thought of her.
‘Ughhhh!’ Not wanting to think about Jeremy anymore, she changed the topic. “It doesn’t matter anymore. Aaron, I’m hungry. Go make something for me to eat!” “Sure thing!” Aaron did not dare to pry any further into her love life so he quickly went to the kitchen but on the way, he said, “By the way, this year’s World Hacker Conference will be held here. I heard Ghostlord is going to attend too.
Do you want to go?” ‘Ghostlord! The world’s number one hacker’ thought Corinne. He was her idol and she always wished to meet him. She was not in a good mood lately so she thought she should cheer herself up by going to see her idol. ‘And if I don’t get to see him. Well, I’ll just take it as a way to get my mind off things.” “Yes, let’s go! Where is the venue going to be?” Corinne asked.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 626-A few days later, in Kanton City.
Corinne took an early flight to Kanton City to attend the World Hacker Conference. Now that she was in a different city, she did not have to deliberately hide from Jeremy; she could take public transportation without worrying she would bump into him.
Coincidentally, Xante was in Kanton City for business so she arranged for someone to pick Corinne up at the airport. Corinne did not plan to stay in Kanton City for long so she did not bring much baggage. She only packed with her the things that would fit into a backpack.
She shoved her hands into her pockets and walked casually to the exit.
“Corinne!” someone suddenly shouted out her name.
She instinctively stopped walking and looked toward the direction of the sound.
A man wearing sunglasses was walking toward her. He immediately took off his sunglasses to reveal his handsome baby face as soon as he was standing in front of her.
“It’s you, Corinne! What are you doing here in Kanton City?” ‘Ah, it’s Sunny!’ Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked languidly at him.
Instead of answering his question, she asked, “If I remember correctly, today’s a school day so what are you doing here?” Sunny blinked at her; the guilt on his face was apparent. “Umm, I have something urgent to do today so I asked the school for an off day.” Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Oh? Are you sure you’re not cutting class?” Sunny was not the type to lie. He scratched his head in frustration and said, “Fine, I’m cutting class but I have a good reason for doing that!” “Which is?” “I just got news from a hacker friend of mine that the World Hacker Conference would be held in Kanton City today.” Corinne frowned. “So you’re going to the conference too? Are you even invited?
novelxo.com fast update” Sunny shook his head ruefully. “No, only the top hackers are invited to this kind of conference. I’m a newbie and haven’t made a name for myself yet so I’m not on the guest list.” Corinne gave him a side-eye. “Then how are you going to join if you’re not invited? Do you know how tight the security will be? Even if you managed to sneak in, do you know what would happen if they found you inside? They would not hesitate to get rid of you to prevent you from leaking out the members’ identity.” Sunny was not afraid. He lifted his chin proudly and said, “So what if I’m not invited? I’m pretty sure my master’s name is on the guest list! Do you know who my master is? She’s Jade Rabbit, one of the top hackers in the world. I do believe they’ll let me in if I tell them I’m going in to find my master.” Corinne was speechless. This naive kid doesn’t know how cruel the world can be! But wait a minute! The master he’s referring to seems to be me! I don’t seem to recall ever agreeing to his master.” She decided to change tack. “You’re a student so you should be in class. Now I’m going to let you choose, Are you going to go back yourself or should I inform Mister Lucas of your whereabouts and ask him to send someone to pick you up?” Sunny started to panic at the mention of Lucas. “Corinne, why are you being like this? I wouldn’t have told 20 you the truth if I knew you were going to be like this. Please don’t tell my brother. He was injured recently so I wouldn’t want to bother him with things like this. Besides, this is none of your business.” Corinne was surprised. “Your brother was injured recently? What happened?” she asked quizzically Tsk! How in the world would that condescending man who thinks he’s too good for everyone to get hurt at all? This is a rare thing.” Sunny pouted and said, “It happened at my grandpa’s birthday party. Jeremy threw a punch at Lucas out of nowhere and not one to take a punch for no good reason, he fought back. Then the two of them ended up in an all-out fistfight.
Lucas came away with a broken arm and I heard Jeremy got hurt pretty seriously too.” Corinne was shocked.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 627-It happened during Grandpa Edgar’s birthday party? So after shoving me into his car, Jeremy left to fight Lucas? No wonder he came back with all those injuries on his face. But why would he do something like that? Could it be he’s trying to make Lucas pay for pouring coffee on me? No, that can’t be it. As Joey’s dad, he should be siding with Anya. He’d never hurt her brother for a woman like me, would he?” Seeing Corinne all zoned out, he waved his hand in front of her. “Hey, what are you thinking about? Have you gone dumb?”
Corinne snapped out of her trance and composed herself before looking sternly at Sunny and ordering him. “You’re not allowed to go to the World Hacker Conference. You’re too young for that so go home. now or else I’ll tell on you to your brother!” After that, she did not wait for his reply; she simply turned around and walked out of the airport.
Sunny was a little cowed by her threats but he did not want to give up the chance to attend the World Hacker Conference so he decided to chase after Corinne to beg her not to tell Lucas.
However, there were simply too many people walking around the airport so he eventually lost sight of Corinne.
Corinne got in the car and made her way to the World Hacker Conference.
Not long after, her phone rang. It was from Xante.
As soon as she picked up the phone, Xante’s alarmed voice came from the other end. “Boss, something happened.” “What is it?” “The bodyguard I hired to protect you has just reported to me that a suspicious car is tailing you.” ‘Someone is following me?’ Corinne immediately looked out of the back windshield. There was indeed a car following her closely.
Her eyesight was good enough to let her see Sunny sitting in the passenger seat. He was pointing at her car and saying something, most probably to drive faster, to the driver.
‘What an annoying kid! Doesn’t he listen to anyone? Corinne sighed with resignanovelxo.com fast updatetion and annoyance. “I see the car tailing me.
It’s a taxi.” “Do you want me to take care of it?” After thinking about it, Corinne replied, “No. The passenger is Sunny Rivera. He poses no threat to me. However, he’s h*llbent on getting into the World Hacker Conference to have a look. Xante, you’re to stop him from attending no matter what but make sure you don’t hurt him.” “Got it, boss. Don’t worry about him.” Meanwhile, in the taxi.
Sunny started to panic when he saw the luxury car in front of him getting further and further away. It seemed like he was about to lose Corinne.
“Excuse me, mister, but can you please drive faster? You’re not getting any money from me if you lose the car in front of us!”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 628-“Boy, you do know you’re in a taxi and the car in front of us is a luxury car, right?
How can a rundown car like mine ever catch up to a car that costs hundreds of thousands?” the taxi driver asked helplessly.
This made Sunny panic even more. Of course, he knew the car in front of him was a luxury car and not only that, it was the top-of-the-range limited edition model released by a brand called BG for their centennial anniversary. The car, called ‘Carnival’, was the only one of its kind in the world so even the rich. could not buy it if they wanted.
Before this, Lucas had his eyes on the car. He even flew to BG headquarters to order it directly from the owner but unfortunately, the car was already bought by a mysterious buyer who wished to remain anonymous.
Therefore, Sunny found it odd to see Corinne getting into Carnival at the airport.
‘Corinne knows the owner of Carnival? I wonder what their relationship is! No! I must find out why she came to Kanton City.” After thinking about it, Sunny decided not to make the taxi driver’s life difficult.
He waved his hand and said, “Fine, whatever. We don’t have to tail them so closely but just make sure we follow them at a distance where we can still see them.” “Sure can do,” said the taxi driver chirpily.
However, Sunny and the taxi driver suddenly heard a bang and the entire taxi started to shake. The taxi driver pulled on the emergency brake and looked up in the rearview mirror only to see someone crash into them.
Frowning, he got out of the car to scold the driver who crashed into them.
“Are you blind? How could you possibly run into me when there’s so much space in the road? Do you even know how to drive?” The other driver got out of the car. He was a tall and burly man. “So what if you run into you? You have no right to talk to me like that!” he said fiercely.
The taxi driver did not expect to receive this kind of attitude from someone who crashed into his car and it made him even madder. “What the hell is wrong with you? How can you be angry at me when you’re the one who crashed into my car? You better keep your attitude in check.” novelxo.com fast update The burly driver lifted his chin. “It’s all your fault! You should’ve seen me coming and changed into the other lane!” “What?! You must be kidding me, right? It’s the driver at the back who’s responsible for keeping a distance from the car in front of them!” “Oh pipe down! It’s not like I can’t afford to pay you for the damage! How much could this rundown cheap piece of trash be worth?” The taxi driver felt humiliated. “Why you!” Seeing Corinne’s car getting further and further away from him, Sunny quickly got down from the taxi to urge the taxi driver, “Hey, can you stop arguing for a moment? Just take down that guy’s number and get back into the taxi! We need to catch up with that car!” The taxi driver was at the peak of his rage by then. “Sorry, kid. But I have to deal with this so you should find another taxi.” “What?” Sunny was taken aback. ‘Get another taxi? We’re miles away from the airport and we’re in the middle of nowhere. How am I supposed to find another taxi here?” Sunny walked up to the taxi driver and said, “Please, mister. Forget about this guy. I’m willing to pay for the repair as long as you take me to where that car is going.” “This is not about money! This is about this guy here being unreasonable. He was the one who ran into me but he’s brazen enough to say it’s my fault. I can’t stand this kind of bullying so I must wait until the traffic police come here to teach this piece of sh*t a lesson,” said the taxi driver righteously.
The burly driver walked up to the taxi driver and puffed out his chest. “Who are you calling a piece of sh*t?
The taxi driver was not threatened by him at all. “You! I’m calling you a piece of sh*t!” “How dare you!”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 629-The burly driver and the taxi driver started cursing each other nonstop.
Not knowing what to do, Sunny looked at them with complete shock. ‘Sigh!
Guess I have no choice but to find another taxi,’ he thought.
Not holding out much hope, he looked around his surroundings and as expected, there was not a single taxi in sight. He was in the throes of his despair when a red sports car suddenly stopped in front of him.
The driver was a woman with curly hair flowing down from the top of her head.
She was dressed in a solid color silk spaghetti-strap dress. Everything about her
face was exquisitely painted while her lips were blazing with a passionate red color.
The woman threw him a flirtatious smile while merriment danced in her eyes.
“What’s the matter? Did you get yourself into an accident?” “Are you blind? Isn’t it obvious what happened?” said Sunny angrily. He was in no mood to talk to anyone.
Instead of getting angry, the woman simply smiled. “Where are you going, kid?
It’ll be hard for you to get another taxi here so why don’t I give you a ride?” Sunny was a little taken aback. ‘Has my luck turned?’ He looked at the woman’s car and saw that it was a roadster. ‘This car is faster than the taxi. I just might be able to catch up to Corinne.’ After thinking it through, he immediately nodded and said, “Yes, that would be lovely. Thanks!” He then walked over to the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in like a gentleman.
The woman did not seem to mind his lack of social etiquette. She flipped her hair seductively and asked, ” You still haven’t told me where you’re going, kid.” Sunny crossed his arms and said, “Follow that Carnival.” Xante smiled. “Sure thing. Hold on to your seat.” She stepped on the accelerator and the roadster flew off like a rocket. It was a good thing Sunny put on his seatbelt because if not he would have been flung out of the car. ‘D*mn! This woman drives fast! But it’s a good thing since we’ll be able to catch up to Corinne like this.” novelxo.com fast update Meanwhile, the burly man instantly put away his vicious expression and shut his mouth as soon as the red roadster sped off.
The taxi driver stopped shouting too when he saw the other party suddenly fell silent. Instead, he fished out his phone and said, “Wait here. I’m going to call the police so that they can teach you a lesson.” Unexpectedly, the burly driver had a change of attitude. He immediately bowed down to the taxi driver and said, “I’m sorry about what happened. I shouldn’t have said what I said in the heat of the moment. I would like to officially apologize to you. Here’s some money to cover the repair and emotional damage I’ve caused you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.” He passed a check that was filled in to the taxi driver.
The taxi driver was understandably surprised by the 180-degree change in attitude. He scratched his head in confusion, wondering if he was imagining things. However, his eyes became as wide as saucers when he saw the number written on the check. It was not a small sum at all. It was as much as he made in a year driving a taxi!
“Ahem. Do you feel sorry for what you did?” the taxi driver asked doubtfully.
“Yes. I promise I won’t ever do something like this again,” said the burly driver sincerely.
The taxi driver was not an unreasonable man either, but of course, the money certainly did help smooth things along, so he said, “Fine. I’ll forgive you this time but make sure you’ll be more careful in the future. Also, wait, where did he go?” The taxi driver was about to share his 20 years of driving experience but when he looked up, he saw the burly driver gone. “He must have driven off when I was counting the zeros on the paycheck.’ He looked down at the check-in his hands again. Scratching his head, he muttered, “What the h*ll was that all about?”
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 630-The red roadster was speeding very fast along the road.“Yes! It’s that car over there! Follow that Carnival!” Sunny pointed excitedly at the car Corinne was in as soon as it came into sight. “Hurry! Don’t lose it.” Xante immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car shot off toward Corinne’s car. The distance. between the two cars got shorter and shorter.Sunny was impressed by the car’s speed. He turned toward Xante and said, “Not bad at all! Your car is certainly very fast.” “Yeah, it does its job well,” Xante replied with a smile while keeping her eyes on the road. Her curly hair was flying softly in the wind, making her look freespirited and sexy.At that moment, Sunny could not help but be stunned by her beauty but he quickly snapped out of it. He fixed his eyes back on the road and it was then, he realized something was wrong.Without him realizing it, Xante caught up to Corinne’s car. They were already driving past it! Sunny’s smile froze on his face. He snapped his head back to look at the Carnival behind him.“Hey! The car is behind us. Slow down!” he said in a panic.Xante raised her eyebrow and looked at him innocently. “Didn’t you ask me to follow that car?” Sunny was not amused. “I said to follow it not to surpass it! I want to see where that car is going. This isn’t a race you know. Hurry up and slow down the car now! Bring your car to the back of that Carnival!” “Fine,” Xante said with a nod. She did as he said and slowed down her car.However, instead of catching up with their car, the Carnival turned into another highway.Seeing this, Sunny started panicking even more. “What are you waiting for?Turn around and follow that car!” Xante shrugged helplessly. “Kid, have you forgotten we’re on a highway?There’s no turning back or stopping on a highway.” Realizing this made Sunny angry. He pounded the car dash and cursed, “Sh*t!” novelxo.com fast update “I was so close to finding out who Corinne came to find in Kanton City. I can’t believe I let the chance slip away like this. Argh!” Xante quietly looked at the disappointed and angry Sunny and said, “Sorry I can’t help you with the car chase but what I can do now is to bring you to your next destination.” As angry as he was, Sunny did not dare to take out his anger on someone who so kindly gave him a ride when he needed it most. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. It’s my fault for not giving you clear instructions. Can you please drop me off at Eden International?” Eden International was where the World Hacker Conference was being held. He told himself it was okay to lose Corinne but it was not okay to miss the World Hacker Conference which he wanted to go to for the longest time. He would die happy if he got to meet his master, Jade Rabbit, today.“Sure thing,” said Xante. She then drove him to Eden International. At that moment, there were not a lot of cars on the highway so the only sound they could hear was the sound of the wind.While driving, Xante sneaked a peek at the baby-face Sunny. Raising her eyebrow, she asked cautiously, Kid, who’s inside that car and why did you want to follow It?” “Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t going to do anything bad. I know the person inside that car and I just want to find out what she’s doing in Kanton City.” “So it’s a girl?” “Yeah.” Xante, chuckled. “Is it someone you like?” Sunny frowned. “No way! She’s my cousin. I’m just worried she’s being fooled by some rich man seeing as she has gotten into such an expensive car.” Xante found the whole thing funny. “Umm, is there a possibility that the car is owned by your cousin?” “That’s impossible! She didn’t come from a wealthy family. Besides, why would she go out and work if she can afford a car like that?” “Maybe she only took the job to kill time. It could be like a hobby for her.”
