Ch. 751..760

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 751-Annie was not too happy to hear that and pouted. “Do you have to be so ungrateful? Aren’t you aware that you wouldn’t even get the chance to see Corinne in a wedding dress if it weren’t for me?” Jeremy placed the magazine down and stood up. He walked past Annie-whom he did not wish to see and approached Corinne. He gently caressed her cheek and said, “You look beautiful.” Corinne, fitted in the wedding dress, glanced up at him shyly. “Thank you.” “Let’s get our pictures taken.” Jeremy took her hand and led her into the studio.

Annie folded her arms in displeasure. ‘Hmph! Uncle Jeremy is so ungrateful!

Corinne looks amazing in the wedding dress, and it’s a shame that he’s the only one who could see her in that!’ After some thought, Annie decided to take her phone out and follow them into the studio. She took a video of Jeremy and Corinne during the photoshoot, set up a chat group, and added all her contacts before sending the video to the group.

Zeke was the first to send a message. [Whoa! Jeremy got married to Corinne behind our backs again!] Annie then replied. [Hey, Zeke! Don’t you think my aunt is beautiful? Uncle Jeremy scored himself a treasure, didn’t he?] Zeke replied with a smirking emoji. [When did the two of them get it on with each other?] Annie sent a shocked emoji before responding. [Don’t be so rude, Zeke! What do you mean by ‘ get it on’? They’re reconciling, mending broken bridges.

Rekindling past feelings! Do you even understand any of that?] [OK! Then I’ll rephrase my question! When did the two of them reconcile, mend broken bridges, and rekindle old feelings?] [Yesterday, I’m told!] [Tsk, tsk, tsk! Yesterday, huh? And they’re already so eager to take wedding photos today! They’re anxious to get it on, then.] [I thought I told you not to be so rude! I brought the two of them to get the wedding photos taken! Did you think my cold-hearted uncle would think to do such a thing?] [Haha! You’re right!] Gerald then sent a message, but it contained only a thumbs-up emoji.

Sunny-who had just finished his homework-was shocked when he saw all those messages. He first spammed the chat with several angry emojis, then finally typed, [How could Jeremy do this?] [Why would he take wedding photos with Corinne?] [What is my sister going to do now?] [Jeremy, you can’t betray my sister!] [No! Jeremy belongs to Anya! Make them stop!] Annie was irritated to see Sunny’s messages, and she wondered why she even added him to the chat in the first place.

She rolled her eyes and replied, [Leave the group then, Sunny. Since when did Uncle Jeremy belong to your sister? Don’t make me laugh!] Sunny sent another angry emoji. [Are you stupid, Annie? If Jeremy didn’t belong to my sister, why would he adopt a child with her? Don’t forget, that child calls Jeremy and my sister’ Daddy and Mommy’!] Annie felt annoyed and removed Sunny from the group chat.

Elsewhere, at the Riveras, Sunny was furious after seeing the notification that he had been. kicked out of the group chat, and he did not even notice that his sister Anya had walked up to him.

“What are you doing, Sunny?

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 752-Sunny was startled. When he realized it was Anya, he hid his phone behind him.

“Nothing!” Anya did not notice anything in the first place, but when she saw Sunny react as if he was hiding something from her, she became curious about why he would act that way. “Why do you look so scared of showing your phone to me? Are you secretly in a relationship?” Sunny immediately shook his head. “No! I’m not in a relationship!” Anya did not believe it, of course. She asked with a smile, “Then why would you be so afraid of letting me look at your phone? Come on now, Sunny. Show me

who you were chatting with just now!” Sunny was not worried that Anya would look at his phone. He was worried she would get sad if she saw the video Annie sent.

He frowned, thought over his options for a moment, and decided to just admit it so Anya would not continue to pressure him. “Okay, okay! I… I’m in a relationship! I’m entitled to privacy in my chats, so I can’t show it to you!” Anya was inevitably worried when she heard that Sunny was in a relationship even though he was still in school. Contrary to Sunny’s expectations, she began to pressure him. “If you’re not going to show your chat to me, I’ll tell Lucas that you’re busy dating instead of studying hard!

” She was more concerned about her younger brother because he shared the same mother as her. As a result, she was closer to him than she was to her halfbrother Lucas.

Sunny immediately became nervous. “No! I’ll be living in hell if you tell him!” Anya leaned over triumphantly and demanded that he hand over his phone.

“Then give me your phone! I want to see what your girlfriend looks like, whether she’s pretty or not, and which family she’s from.” Sunny backed away while clutching the phone. “I can’t…” “Then I’ll tell Lucas.” “No!” Seizing Sunny’s unease, Anya reached out and snatched Sunny’s phone.

“Wait! Don’t look! Give me back my phone!” Sunny wanted to snatch the phone back, but Anya had run off.

Anya ran upstairs with Sunny’s phone so she could see which girl had won his heart.

Sunny could be considered an adult, and it was fine for him to get into a relationship. However, he should never be in a relationship with those from poor families. Only those whose family status was comparable to that of the Riveras!

Such girls were the only ones who could be fit for Sunny.

Moreover, if Sunny’s future in-laws were strong enough, it would boost Sunny’s position when vying for the Riveras’ property with Lucas in the future. His chances of becoming the Riveras’ heir would increase, too.

In truth, Anya knew that the reason Lucas loved her was because she imitated the missing Luna ever since young. She was also very good at pleasing him and acting coquettish.

Sunny was her brother by birth, so there was no barrier between them.

It was only when Sunny became the Riveras’ heir that she and her mother could cement their status in the family.

Her mother was their father’s second wife, and although Sunny was born and raised as a Rivera, he never received his grandparents’ recognition.

If Sunny got together with someone who was not at least on the same status as him, then the three of them-mother, daughter, and son-would be looked down upon by the Riveras’ elders. Therefore, if she found out that Sunny’s girlfriend was the daughter of a poor family, she would get him to break up with her as soon as possible.

With that mentality in mind, Anya clicked on the chat history on Sunny’s phone.

Although the chat group had already removed Sunny as a member, the chat history remained.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 753-Anya realized that there was no ‘girlfriend’ at all. The chat was about Jeremy and Corinne taking wedding photos.

Her expression froze instantly, and her expression darkened.

From the video, she saw how Jeremy gently hugged Corinne’s waist, guided by the photographer’s suggestion. He also looked into her eyes, kissed her, and smiled at her.

Anya had known Jeremy for many years, yet she never enjoyed that kind of treatment. The video made her heart ache, and Anya was beyond envious of Corinne. She gritted her teeth as her expression contorted sinisterly.

Sunny finally caught up to her at that moment, and he never saw his gentle sister with such a terrifying expression before. He felt a little uneasy when he saw that, so he asked worriedly, Are you okay?” Anya came back to her senses, raised her head, and forced a stiff smile. “I’m fine! Why wouldn’t I be okay?” ” Sunny frowned. He had always known his sister’s feelings toward Jeremy, and he could see that she was trying to be brave. He felt very distressed and said, “Anya… Jeremy and Corinne…” “Even if they’re together,” Anya interrupted with a smile, “he won’t just ignore me and Joey. I know that Jeremy is a very responsible man, and he’ll take care of me and Joey until the end!” Sunny was a little annoyed. “But isn’t it bad for you to get in between Jeremy and Corinne if they’re already together?” Anya smiled disapprovingly. “Get in between? What do you mean by that?! I’m Jeremy’s savior, Sunny, and he’ll be an ungrateful person if he ignores me! If Corinne stops Jeremy from taking care of his savior, that means Corinne isn’t a good wife and Jeremy should divorce her! That’s not my issue! You agree, don’t you?” Sunny looked at his sister in shock and was unable to understand where she was coming from. “Anya, you…” 1 Anya did not seem interested in listening to what Sunny had to say. She returned the phone to him and said, “Okay, Sunny, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. Go back to your studies, and don’t forget Mom’s expectations for you.” She then turned around and went back into the room.

Sunny frowned in disbelief as he looked at Anya from behind. He somehow felt that his sister’s character was vastly different from the impression he used to have of her.

The remaining members of the group chat continued without Sunny.

[Zeke: Since your uncle is getting married for the second time, isn’t he going to invite us to another wedding celebration?] [Annie: Well… I can’t decide for him, but I’ll ask him whether he’s planning to make any arrangements!] Jason then suddenly sent a message. [I just finished my work. What’s with all the messages? What did I miss?1 [Zeke: Jason! Today’s a happy day for Jeremy, so he’s going to treat us to a drink!] Jason did not reply anymore, so Zeke figured that he was probably reading the messages above. Gerald was usually a man of few words, but he then typed, [Count me in if it’s to toast their wedding.] Jeremy and Corinne took a break after they were done with the first session. He narrowed his eyes at the messages in the new group chat and raised an eyebrow. Then, he handed the phone to Corinne, who was changing her makeup and hair. “Some people are asking to raise a toast. to us for our wedding. What should we do

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 754-Corinne read the chat and said, “They’re your friends, so you make the arrangements.” Jeremy glanced at her. “I can’t.” Corinne looked at him from the mirror and raised her eyebrows in puzzlement.

“Why not? Didn’t you go out drinking with them before? Just make the same arrangements as you always do.” “I don’t have any money,” he quipped.

Corinne was speechless. The make-up artist who was changing Corinne’s hairstyle had a surprised expression and tried to hold in a laugh. What a shock to hear that a handsome, rich man could say that he had ‘no money!!

Corinne’s lips twitched when she realized that Jeremy had given her all his bank cards. He did not have much money on his phone either.

“You make the arrangements then, and I’ll pay for it,” Corinne said considerately.

That was what Jeremy had been waiting for her to say. He raised his hand and gently touched the tip of her nose. “Thank you for your generosity then, my dearest wife.” The tip of her nose tickled slightly after he touched it, and Corinne’s face scrunched a bit. The phrase ‘my dearest wife’ made her blush. ‘How could he be so sappy when the makeup artist is right here?!’ After receiving his permission, Jeremy sent a brief message in the group chat.

[She’s okay with it.] Zeke then replied, [Yo, Jeremy! Are you done with the photoshoot? Send them to us so we can have a look!] [Jeremy: No.] [Zeke: Tsk, tsk, tsk! Wow, that was harsh. Guess he can only say ‘yes’ if his wife says ‘yes’! It’s only been a few days since I last saw him and he’s already become a slave to his wife!] [Annie: I’m going to remove you from the group.] [Zeke: Okay, okay! Don’t kick me out! I won’t joke around anymore! When are you arranging the toast, Jeremy? Why not seize the moment and just do it today?] [Annie: Sweet! I’m going to join too!] At that time, Lucas-who never sent messages on social media-popped up in the group chat for the first time. [Come to Lunar Century Manor. I’ll make the arrangements for tonight.] Zeke was startled. [Lucas? What brought you here today?] [Lucas: What’s the matter? Am I not welcome here?)

[Zeke: Of course you are! But you’re not the host today! You need to ask Jeremy first!] [Jeremy: That’ll do.] [Gerald: We’re off to Lunar Century Manor, then. That’s where Lucas stores all his good wine!] [Zeke: It’s set!] Corinne took out her phone, read the messages in the group, and frowned slightly when she saw Lucas’ message. ‘Does Lucas want to raise a toast to me and Jeremy too?’ An hour later, the service staff of the photography studio said respectfully to them, “Mister Jeremy, Miss Corinne, we’re done for the day. We’ll call you again in a few days to let you go over the photos. You can leave your contact information with us.” Corinne nodded, picked up the pen, and left her number with them.

Annie could not wait any longer. “Finally, the photoshoot is over! Let’s go to Lunar Century Manor to celebrate! Zeke and the others are already there!” Corinne was not very keen on going, so she waved his hands. “I’m tired, so I’ll pass. You can go with Uncle Jeremy!” Annie was displeased to hear Corinne’s refusal. “How can you not go?! You’re the guest of honor today! Who will we celebrate if you’re not there? Do you want Uncle Jeremy to be poked fun at by the guys there?” Corinne looked helplessly at Jeremy, who was standing beside her, and he looked back at her warmly. “You tired?” “A little,” she said.

Jeremy asked again, “So you’re not going, then?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 755-Corinne nodded again. “I want to go home.” Jeremy asked nothing else and gently hugged her shoulders instead. “Okay.

Then we’ll go home.” “We?” Corinne frowned. “Aren’t you going?” Jeremy gazed down at her. “No one is going to pay the bill for me if you don’t go, so there’s no point in me going.”

Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “I can transfer the money to you so you can make the payment.

Jeremy said sternly, “Don’t bother. I’m in no mood to drink with them if you’re not with me. I’m afraid you’ll run away again.” ‘Seriously?’ Corinne could not stand that reverse-psychology trick and felt as though Jeremy was trying to manipulate her.

“Fine. I’ll go with you.” Jeremy smirked, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, “I know you’re tired, but we’ll go home as soon as I have a couple of drinks with them. I promise to let you sleep well tonight instead of making you toss and turn.” When Corinne heard the phrase ‘toss and turn’, her face reddened in an instant, and the blush extended as far as her collarbone. “Mister! You…” Annie moved her curious head over. “What did you say to Corinne to make her blush?” Jeremy raised his hand expressionlessly and pushed Annie’s head away mercilessly. “Kids shouldn’t be such busybodies. Don’t ask around like that.” Corinne kept quiet.

Annie’s head hurt from Jeremy’s push, and she rubbed the area while pouting.

“Hmph! I’m not a kid anymore! It’s not wrong!” By the time Corinne, Annie, and Jeremy reached Lunar Century Manor, Zeke, Lucas, Gerald, and Jason had all arrived there and were chatting over a couple of drinks. They then looked at the entrance when they heard the door open.

Zeke raised his glass. “Our guest of honor is here!” Lucas looked at Corinne with a gentle gaze. However, that tender expression turned to gloom when he looked at Jeremy.

His younger sister was the most angelic girl in the world, and she should have found a gentle and considerate man of similar age to love her. Unfortunately, she foolishly found a scheming older man, and she got the short end of the stick compared to Jeremy.

Gerald has always been a quiet man, and he had a calm expression as he clinked glasses with Jason.

Jason had a wry smile on his lips as he saw the couple walk over. He sipped his wine silently, but it somehow tasted extra bitter.

Jeremy approached them with Corinne in his arms, and he said naturally, “Let me introduce you to my wife, Corinne.” He then sat down with his arm wrapped around her waist.

Zeke was the first to toast him. “Congratulations, Jeremy! You finally married a beautiful woman!” Gerald took the chance to offer a toast as well. “Congratulations, Jeremy.” Lucas watched coldly and did not join in.

At that moment, a glass of wine was abruptly offered to Corinne.

“Congratulations on your marriage, Corinne.” Corinne was taken aback for a moment. She looked up and saw that it was Jason.

She picked up the juice that Jeremy handed her and clinked glasses with Jason.

“Thank you.” Jason did not say anything else and smiled as he finished the glass of strong liquor.

The atmosphere became slightly tense.

All of a sudden, Jeremy’s cell phone rang.

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 756-Jeremy frowned when he saw the name on the screen but answered the call nonetheless.

“Jeremy, where are you?” Anya asked anxiously from the other end of the phone.

“I’m at Lunar Century Manor.” “Oh… What are you doing there?” asked Anya awkwardly.

Instead of answering her question, Jeremy asked, “Why are you calling me?”

“Umm… Joey has been puking and crying for you. I know you must be in the middle of something, but can you please come see him for a while? He really needs you right now,” said Anya pitifully.

Jeremy glanced at Corinne before asking, “What did the doctor say?” “The doctor said Joey’s physically fine. The puking is a normal side-effect of brain concussion …but I’m more worried about him getting traumatized by what happened. Joey really needs his daddy to comfort him right now.” Jeremy fell silent, so silent that Corinne said to him, “You can go to them if you want.” She did not need to hear their conversation to guess that it was Anya on the other side of the phone. It was always the same old story Anya called him to tell him ‘Joey needed his daddy right now, so can he come and spend time with them?

Jeremy immediately hung up when he heard what Corinne said. He cocked his head at her and brought the dessert to her mouth. “Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere today.” Corinne was surprised to hear that. After all, Jeremy always rushed off the moment he received a call from his savior. It was certainly rare for him to be able to resist Anya’s emotional blackmailing.

Corinne took a huge bite out of the dessert and was about to take another bite because of how delicious it was when Jeremy pulled his hand away. “This is too sweet. You shouldn’t eat that much.” “One piece is not too much! Give it to me,” said Corinne, frowning.

“No.” Jeremy quickly ate the dessert so that he could free his hands to hold down Corinne’s grappling hands, earning her pout.

Seeing this, Lucas passed her another dessert from the table. “There’s still many left. I can ask the servants to pack them up for you to bring home if you want.” Corinne simply stared coolly at Lucas’ outstretched hand and said, “No thanks, Mister Lucas.” Lucas was speechless, and his hand hung awkwardly in mid-air.

Pleased with her refusal, Jeremy smiled and patted Corinne’s head. “What a good girl she is today. Seems like she finally learned not to take food from other men.’ After finding out the baby in Corinne’s womb was his, he did some homework and learned that it was easy for a pregnant woman to get gestational diabetes, Corinne should avoid sweet things for the moment. Thus, he had no choice but to use tough love on her.

Lucas sighed and placed the dessert back on the table. ‘Oh well. At least I tried to connect with her.’ Also, he knew it was Anya who called Jeremy, and it did not take a genius to figure out what she wanted Jeremy to do. Thinking of all this made his head hurt.

All of a sudden, Annie raised her glass. “Here’s a toast to Uncle Jeremy and Corinne! I wish the two of you a long and happy marriage.” Jeremy and Corinne exchanged glances with each other before raising their glasses to accept Annie’s blessings.

However, after seeing how they held their glass, Annie quickly said, “No! That won’t do. The two of you have to intertwine your arms at the elbows like this and drink from your glass in a cross-armed style. Come on, everybody-let’s cheer them on

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 757-“Yes! Drink it cross-arm style!” Zeke shouted.

Jeremy did not mind that, but to show his respect, he raised his eyebrow at Corinne to ask for her consent. Though shy, Corinne did not want to rain on other people’s parade, so after a slight hesitation, she linked her elbows with Jeremy’s, and the two of them downed their glass. in one go.

Satisfied, Annie threw her head back and downed her glass in one go before leading the guests in a round of thunderous applause. The atmosphere in the room certainly reached its peak by then.

“Jeremy, Lucas prepared a special show for you and Corinne today. Which is so unlike him,” said Zeke while clapping, and he smiled. “I can guarantee the two of you won’t ever forget tonight.” Jeremy looked askance at Lucas. ‘This guy must be up to no good…’ Corinne turned to look at Lucas curiously.

Corinne was Lucas’ long-lost sister. He felt like he owed her for the many years he was not by her side, and for…all the misunderstandings that occurred between them. Thus, no matter how long it would take or how much effort he would need to put into it, he swore he would make it up to her in the hopes that Corinne would forgive him one day.

Suddenly, the sound of fireworks could be heard coming from outside, and seconds later, the light from the fireworks flooded into the room.

Zeke pointed at the spectacular show. “Speak of the devil! This is what I’m talking about. Let’s go and watch it together!” Everyone got up from the table and followed Zeke to the balcony. One firework after another burst forth into the dark sky before exploding in a shower of light.

What was special about this firework was it was blue instead of the usual colors found in the market.

It took Lucas a lot of effort to gather so many blue fireworks because of how rare they were. Then there was the matter of safety too, since blue fireworks posed more safety risks than the other colors.

Initially, Corinne was disinterested in Lucas’ gift to them, but after seeing the gorgeous shades of blue lighting up the sky, she could not help but feel awed by it all. Oh, how lucky was she to be able to witness such a glorious and romantic sight with the man of her dreams!

They turned to gaze deeply into each other’s eyes as their lips came closer and closer… Ring! Ring! Ring!

The moment instantly vanished when Jeremy’s phone rang again, and he frowned and pressed ‘Decline’. However, the call just kept coming and coming.

He patted Corinne’s shoulder lightly and said, “Let me take this call. It might be an emergency.

“Okay…” After he left, Corinne looked up at the sky with mixed feelings.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” said Jason, suddenly appearing beside her.

“Yes, absolutely,” said Corinne with a smile.

“I’m talking about you.” Corinne looked at him in shock. “Umm… Thanks, I guess.” Jason smiled at her. “Sorry, I’ve been so busy with work that I’m either in the office or flying to another country to make some deals… I wanted to find you as soon as I got back, but it looks like I’m too late…” “You’re not.” Corinne’s eyes were so clear that Jason could see the blue fireworks being reflected at him.

Jason’s eyes lit up.

“Are you saying I still have a chance with you?”

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 758-“No, I’m saying even if you have the time to come find me earlier, you still wouldn’t have a chance with me,” Corinne answered.

Jason did a double take before smiling ruefully. “You make it sound like I’m a horrible person… ” “You could be the best person in the world and I still wouldn’t be with you. That’s how much I love Jeremy,” said Corinne serenely.

Jason gazed deeply at Corinne’s upturned side profile. “So he makes you happy, huh?” Corinne nodded. “Yes. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.” “Tell me, do you think he feels the same way as you? Is he not splitting his time with another woman?” Jason asked mockingly.

Corinne finally turned to look at him with a frown. With his foxy eyes, Jason gestured for her to look at a place not far away. She followed his gaze and saw Jeremy sitting alone in the empty room with his ear glued to his phone.

Only Anya would call him at a time like this.

“Well, it’s not like he has a choice. I mean, Anya did save his life before. It’d be ungrateful of him if he didn’t take her call,” said Corinne after a while.

“So I’ve guessed right. You’re not a hundred percent sure he only has you in his heart,” said Jason with a smirk.

Corinne gave him a stink-eye. “Well, I wouldn’t say ‘only’, but I’m confident I take up most of the space in his heart.” “Oh, really?” Corinne did not like what Jason was doing, so she ignored him and turned her attention back to the blue fireworks in the sky.

Jason, too, turned his head up to look at the blue fireworks in the sky. “No matter how strong or independent a woman thinks she is, she’ll eventually lose herself in a relationship. Corinne, I know Jeremy longer than you do, so I can tell you with certainty that he’s not the type to throw himself into a relationship.

You’ll come to eventually see just how ruthless he can be.” Corinne did not like to hear other people speak ill of Jeremy, so she looked sharply at him and said, “What about you, Mister Talbot? Does it make you the good guy to be spouting all this nonsense to me? How can you betray your friend like this? Are you out of your mind?” Jason was stunned by her accusation, but he quickly arranged his expression into a smile. “1 might not be the good guy in this case, but I can assure you I don’t have any savior to pander to. You only have to say the word, and I’ll give you my whole heart. What do you say?” Corinne rolled her eyes at him. She could not stand how insufferable he was.

Not wanting to talk to him for a second longer, she turned around and made her way back to the room.

Jason was to call her back but stopped himself. His eyes followed her until she came to stand beside Jeremy, and only then did he turn around to look the other way.

Suddenly, Zeke put his arms around him. “Jason, what were you and Corinne talking about just now?” “Oh, I was just giving her my congratulations,” said Jason with a smile.

Zeke turned to look toward the room and what should he see but Jeremy putting away his phone to embrace Corinne so tightly that no gaps could be seen between their bodies.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look at Jeremy being all lovey-dovey with Corinne. I wouldn’t have believed he could have ever fallen in love if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.” An icy glint flashed across Jason’s eyes when he heard the words ‘fallen in love’

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 759-After hanging up the phone, Jeremy looked up and noticed Corinne walking toward him.” What’s the matter? Don’t you like the firework show?” Corinne sat beside him and said nonchalantly, “I do, but it was getting kinda boring. It was just one beautiful explosion after another, so I decided to come in.” Jeremy narrowed his eyes and hugged her. “Did something happen? Why do you sound so unhappy?” Corinne was indeed unhappy with him for being on the phone for so long.

“Mister, what did Anya say to you?”

“She wanted me to visit Joey ’cause he’s having a fever.” “Then why are you still here?” Corinne asked with a scoff.

Jeremy could hear the sarcasm in her voice. “Why would I go there? It’s not like I can cure him. Besides, I’ve asked my men to get the best doctor in the city to check on Joey.” “Are you sure you don’t know how to cure people?” asked Corinne with a sarcastic smile. “Yeah. Why do you ask?” Jeremy questioned with a raise of his eyebrow.

“Well, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one who can cure Miss Anya’s lovesickness.” The smile disappeared from Jeremy’s face, replaced by a frown. He could tell Corinne was mocking him, so he gazed solemnly into her eyes before pulling her into a tight embrace. Stroking her hair, he said, “I know this is on me…but I promise you I’m only concerned about. their safety and nothing else.” Corinne fit perfectly against Jeremy’s body. Listening to the rhythmic gentle beating of his heart gave her a sense of comfort so great that she nearly fell asleep.

“Mister, I have a question…and you must answer me as honestly as you can,” said Corinne sleepily.

Jeremy rubbed his chin against the top of her head and said softly, “I’m listening.” Corinne grabbed his hand and laced her fingers between his. “Am I the only one in your—” “Miss Anya! What are you doing here?” asked the Lunar Century Manor’s servants in shock.

The two of them turned around and saw Anya running in with the sickly Joey in her arms.

“Jeremy! Where’s Jeremy?!” To say Corinne was surprised would be an understatement, but she would not put it past Anya to do something like this. ‘Well, it took her no time to come here at all.’ Lunar Century Manor was built by the Riveras, and their mansion was not that far from here.

When Anya saw Jeremy seated on the sofa, she immediately ran over.

“Jeremy!” Jeremy frowned at the sight of her. “Didn’t I send the doctor over? Why did you bring Joey here?” “I didn’t have a choice. He was crying for you. He wouldn’t let the doctor come near him unless you were in the room with him. Look…” Anya held up Joey, who was deathly pale in the face. The bandage around his head only served to make him look even more pitiful.

He looked at Jeremy weakly and reached out to him. “Dada… I want huggy

The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 760-Jeremy was still hugging Corinne, so he could not hold Joey. Instead, he said coldly to Anya,” Why don’t you bring Joey to the guest room? It’s not good for him to be out and about when he has a fever.” Anya was angered by Jeremy choosing Corinne over Joey. “Jeremy, aren’t you going to give Joey a hug? He’s been crying for you nonstop. Oh, I get it now.

You’re worried about Corinne getting jealous, aren’t you?” She then turned to Corinne and pleaded pitifully, “Corinne, won’t you let Joey have some time with his father? He really needs him right now…”

Jeremy was about to say something, but Corinne beat him to it. “Hey, I’m not the one keeping him from Joey. He’s a grown man. He can choose who he wants to spend time with, and it just so happens he chose me.” She leaned lazily against Jeremy and crossed her legs, treating him like a human-shaped armchair. “You surprised me today, Miss Anya. I’ve always thought you’re a fragile woman, but it took you no time to run over her with Joey in your arms. Why, it hasn’t even been a hot minute after Jeremy hung up on you.” Anya found it harder to hide the hatred she had for Corinne. She forced herself to squeeze out a smile. “Well, one learns how to become stronger after one becomes a mother. Which is something you wouldn’t know, Corinne. Since you’re not a mother yourself.” ‘Oh, please! As if she deserves to be called a mother!’ thought Corinne. She broke out in a mocking smile as she stood up from Jeremy’s lap. “Oh, Miss Anya. Your words have so moved me. How can I keep little Joey away from his father? Here, let his father carry him.” She then turned to look at Jeremy with her eyebrow raised. “Mister, what are you still waiting there for? Your kid is crying for you!” Instead of moving, Jeremy simply stared at Corinne with narrowed eyes.

After Corinne got up, Anya immediately ran up to Jeremy with Joey in her arms.

“Jeremy, Joey really, really needs you. He’s been calling for you the whole time you were away.

Jeremy looked at Joey with a frown and said impatiently to Anya, “Like I said, you should bring him to the guest room first. Me carrying him won’t cure him of his fever. All the windows are open on his floor. Aren’t you afraid that the cold will make his fever worse?” This shocked Anya. Yes, it was true he always treated her coldly, but never had he ever spoken to her impatiently. ‘It’s all that stupid b*tch’s fault!’ she thought.

Anya placed Joey on the sofa before taking out a bracelet from her pocket.

“Jeremy, do you still remember this bracelet? You gave it to me after I saved your life, and you told me I can count on you to get me out of any difficulties as long as I come to you with this bracelet. You swore you’d protect me at all costs,” said Anya while wiping away her tears.

She then placed the bracelet on top of Jeremy’s palm. “I know you’re with Corinne now and have no time for me anymore…so I’m giving this bracelet back to you. I promise you I won’t bother you anymore…” Jeremy’s face changed when he saw the bracelet in his hand. That bracelet used to belong to his late mother, and he had kept it with him all throughout his childhood.

Jeremy was found by his men on the seventh day after Anya saved him, while she was nowhere to be seen by then.
