Ch. 901..910
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 901-As soon as Anya appeared, the female employee immediately held her arm as though she was her last hope. 'Miss Anya, thank goodness you're here! I don't know why, but Mister Lucas just fired me. Please help me get my job back!"
Anya shook her off with disgust as though she had just been touched by something dirty. "Get off me! Why should I help you get your job back?
You're nothing but a lowly nobody!"
The female employee was stunned. She looked at Anya in disbelief. "Miss Anya? Didn't you say you see a lot of potential in me? You've even asked me to keep an eye on Corinne for you, and-"
Anya hated how she was blocking her path, so she pushed her away. "I can't believe you're stupid enough to believe what I said! You should take a good look in the mirror, you idiot!"
The woman fell to the floor and immediately broke down crying. Not only was she fired from her job, but Anya abandoned her, too! 'What have I done to deserve this?' she wailed internally.
In her mind, Anya was the kindest person she ever met, so she could not believe she would turn out to be so cold-blooded.
Meanwhile, in the Rivera Group building's cafeteria.
The bustling cafeteria fell silent because of Lucas' arrival. No one dared to speak, and the only sounds that could be heard were the scraping of the plates and the chewing of the food.
Lucas picked out all the carrots in the dishes before pushing the plate to Corinne. "There, all the carrots are gone. You can eat now, Corinne.” Corinne frowned at the carrot-less dishes. She then looked up at Lucas and said, "But carrots are one of my favorites. Why did you take them out?"
Lucas was surprised. "You like carrots? But as your brother, I remember you hated them when you were little."
Corinne's eyes turned cold. "People do change, you know. Plus, I don’t even remember what I liked or didn't like to eat when I was little. By the way, can you stop referring to yourself as my brother? I don't like it."
'Fine, I'll stop…" said Lucas helplessly. 'Til go get some carrots for you now. ■ He then got up, but before he took a step, Corinne said, "No, thanks. There are some perfectly good carrots here. We shouldn't waste food like that."
She then pulled the plateful of carrots Lucas had picked out closer to her before digging into her food.
Lucas sat back down with resignation. He felt hurt when he saw her eating the carrots he had picked out. 'She hated carrots the most when she was little, but all of a sudden, she likes it now? Just what did she go through to make her change her mind?' Well, Corinne would not have come to love carrots if she had anything else to eat as a child. Beggars could not be choosers, after all. While it was true Corinne got to leave out a peaceful childhood and teenagehood in the covenant, she did not have the luxury to be a picky eater.
The covenant's meals could be summed up in one word-bland. Also, the nuns would only eat the cheapest vegetable in the season, and it was an unspoken rule everyone had to eat what was served. In fact, out of all the dishes, the ones with carrots could be deemed as the most flavorful.
Lucas' eyes reddened a little. He felt sorry for Corinne.
"Corinne, you don't have to eat that. I'll get you some new ones. There's no need to worry about wasting food here,” he said after getting up.
"No, Mister Lucas. That won't be necessary," said Corinne sternly. "I'm okay with eating this, so there's no need to trouble yourself." 1 Lucas felt crestfallen. 'Seems like she's still unwilling to accept me as her brother…’ he thought with resignation.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 902-You don't have to worry about wasting food here,' Lucas insisted. He could not bear to see Corinne being like this.
"Is it because you think it makes me look cheap to eat these?" Corinne asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lucas was stunned. "No, of course not!" he said quickly.
Corinne's eyes dimmed. "Then can you please stop telling me what I should and shouldn't eat?"
Lucas was speechless. He had no choice but to sit back down. He looked at Corinne with a forlorn expression, thinking he would do anything she asked as long as it made her happy.
Corinne nonchalantly ate a bite of the honey garlic pork chop before saying, ' Mister Lucas, I'd like to keep the fact that we're related by blood to ourselves. I hope you haven't told anyone yet."
Lucas nodded. "Don't worry. I haven't told anyone about this yet. You have my word that I won't tell anyone else until you're ready to return to the family. If I tell my Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice, they'd definitely rush to the Holdens' mansion to bring you home. I'm sure Grandpa Edgar and Grandma Gertrude would do the same.
"Not to mention our seven uncles and twelve cousins abroad would fly back the moment they heard of the news. You might not remember them, but they miss you very much. There's a chance you'll be overwhelmed by them all, so no, I haven't told anyone yet."
Corinne was not surprised to learn Edgar and Gertrude would look for her since she was their granddaughter. She was sure they would welcome her with open arms and not care who her father was as long as they knew Emily to be her mother.
However, it was a different story with the Riveras.
Corinne suddenly smirked and asked, "Why would Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice care whether I'm still alive? Didn't they accuse me of being a child born out of an illicit affair? Why would they want me back into the family?
By the way, didn't you think the same as them, too?' "No, I didn't!" Lucas did not know what to say to make Corinne believe him. He grabbed her hand in a panic and said, "You have to believe me, Corinne! I've never thought of you that way!"
It just so happened Anya saw Lucas grabbing Corinne's hand the moment she stepped into the cafeteria. She was stunned, but curiosity and jealousy overtook her, causing her to glare vehemently at Corinne. She took out her phone, snapped a photo of them, and sent it to Jeremy.
Jeremy will be furious once he learns Corinne has been flirting with another man behind his back!' she thought. 'It's a shame I can't hear what they were talking about, though. But why would they need to hold hands while talking?’ Thus, she walked up to them and asked innocently, "Lucas, I've brought you lunch, so why are you eating here in the cafeteria?"
Corinne quickly pulled her hand away from Lucas.
Lucas simply let her go. He then straightened himself up and answered,' I'm just being a good host to Miss Corinne."
Anya turned to look at Corinne and blinked innocently at her. "Corinne, didn't you say you're going to wait for me downstairs since you didn't want to come up here? So why…"
Corinne threw her an indifferent glance before answering, "You were taking too long and I got hungry, so I thought I'll have my lunch here before leaving."
Anya dropped her head sadly as though she was caught doing something wrong. "Sorry, Corinne. I shouldn't have made you wait that long. But since you're here, why don't you join me and Lucas for lunch? The food I brought is way better than the food in the cafeteria."
She then placed four containers on top of the table and opened up the lids before passing Lucas a pair of cutleries. "Here, Lucas. You must be hungry after all the work you did. Hurry and eat the food before they get cold!"
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 903-Lucas accepted the cutleries but did not start eating. Instead, he stared at Corinne gently.Anya was not happy to see this but did not show her displeasure. Smiling, she pushed one of the containers toward Corinne. "Here, Corinne. Try this," she said in her sickeningly sweet tone.Corinne thanked her lightly, but she did not eat the food.Anya blushed when she did not get the response she wanted from both of them.She felt like she was a lowly maid serving a difficult employer.However, she reminded herself to keep smiling. She then pulled out the chair next to Lucas and sat down.'There must be something going on between them since they stopped talking the moment I arrived,' thought Anya suspiciously.She took out her phone to check whether Jeremy had seen the photo she sent him. He did, but he did not reply. After thinking over it, she sent him another message.[Jeremy, I know I have no right to contact you anymore, but I thought I should let you know about this. Corinne doesn't seem to know how to keep her boundaries with other men. I just don't think it's appropriate for a married woman like her to openly grope my brother's hand like that.] After a while, she received a reply from Jeremy. [Where is this?] Anya could smell her victory was near, so she quickly replied, [Corinne is eating lunch with Lucas at Rivera Group's cafeteria. Didn't she tell you she was coming?] She received no reply from Jeremy after that.Edmund walked up with a bowl of ice cream just when Corinne was done eating. He was finally able to get the ice cream after queuing up for a long time."Here's the ice cream you wanted. Miss Corinne."It just so happened Corinne was craving something sweet, so she stood up and accepted the ice cream gratefully. "Thanks for going through all that trouble, Edmund!"At that moment, Lucas grew envious of Edmund. 'Oh, how I wish Corinne would just call me by my name instead of addressing me so formally!' Suddenly, Edmund felt a chill run up his spine. He could tell Lucas was not happy with him, but he had no idea what he had done wrong to elicit his ire."Miss Corinne, this is the change from buying the ice cream," said Edmund respectfully while presenting it to her.Corinne simply waved her hand. "Keep the change. It's just enough to pay for the lunch I had in here. I'm done eating, so I'll make a move now. Bye."After that, she strolled casually out of the cafeteria."Corinne, wait! I'm coming with you," said Anya as she got up to chase after Corinne."Why did you even accept her money?" Lucas asked Edmund as Edmund sent off the two girls with his eyes.He turned to him and said helplessly, "Miss Corinne insisted that I take her money. She said she won’t come up here unless I take it."
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 904-Lucas had experienced how stubborn Corinne could be, so he let the matter slide. He then sighed tiredly before sharply asking, 'What did she call you just now?"
Edmund was intimidated by Lucas' stare. ’Umm… She called me Edmund as usual…"
"Hmph!"
Anya knew there was a surveillance camera inside the elevator, so she reminded herself to tread cautiously to avoid leaving any dirt for Lucas to hold over her head.
Thus, she refrained from saying anything to Corinne while in the elevator, but as soon as they got out of the building and into the car, she said snarkily, "Corinne, you're really good at having men wrapped around your little finger, huh? Even Lucas can't escape that fate."
"You flatter me," said Corinne without bothering to look at her. She then yawned before saying to the driver, "Mister, can you please drop me off at the Holdens' first?"
Anya glared at Corinne vehemently. She hated how nonchalant she was being.
"Corinne, if I've guessed correctly, you and Jeremy haven't registered your marriage yet, right?" she asked with a scoff.
Corinne's sleepy eyes suddenly widened. She narrowed her eyes and frowned at Anya.
Judging by Corinne's response, Anya knew she was right. She smiled mysteriously and continued, "I knew Jeremy would never get legally married to you. Oh, Corinne. So what if you've moved in with him? without the marriage certificate, you're just a fake Missus Holden, and I'm pretty sure it won't be long until you're kicked out of the house."
Anya's words aroused Corinne's suspicion. "Oh? How did you know he'll never get legally married to me?" she asked seriously.
Anya looked n at Corinne in disgust. "The Holdens will never accept a girl with a background like yours as a Missus Holden. Prominent and wealthy families like ours are all about marrying their sons and daughters off to partners who have similar backgrounds.
"Yes, it's true Jeremy really likes you now, but just how long will that last? A year? Two years? There will come a day when he's bored of you. You must think your position is secure just because you're carrying his baby, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
How wrong you are.
"You do know he could kick you out of the house and keep the baby in the family, right? He could marry some rich heiress to be his wife and the baby's mother. But of course, there's another important reason why Jeremy won't get legally married to you."
Corinne raised her eyebrow. "And what might that be?"
She was confident Jeremy was not the type to care about his partner's background, but something suspicious was definitely going on since he would be evasive whenever she brought up getting a marriage certificate.
Anya smiled smugly. It was rare for her to have Corinne's full attention."
Corinne, seems like you don't really know Jeremy that well at all. Here I thought he sees you as the most important person in his life, but he doesn't even tell you everything. Why, it doesn't even look like you know as much as me!"
Corinne was not in the mood to compete with Anya about who knew Jeremy better. Instead, she frowned and asked, "So what's the important reason?"
Anya was going to drag this out for as long as she could. That was the only way to make her happy.
"You want to know? Well, I'm not going to tell you. You should go ask Jeremy instead. But I don't think he'll tell you."
Corinne knew Anya was not going to tell her no matter how much she asked, so she just gave up. She turned her face away and closed her eyes to take a short nap.
By the time she reached home, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 905-After Corinne got out of the car, Anya rolled down her window and said snarkily, "Good luck, Corinne."
She then ordered the driver to send her home.
Corinne narrowed her eyes at the disappearing car. 'Does she truly know the reason Jeremy doesn't want to get legally married to me, or is she just bluffing?' After that, she went inside the mansion.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a luxury limousine she had never seen before parked in front of the entrance.
'Someone's here?’ she asked herself. Just as she was thinking who it could be, a servant greeted her, "Ma'am, you're back! Mister Greg and Mister Pamela have come back today and are looking for you. Miss Pamela looked so disappointed when I told her you went out. Why don't you go greet her now?"
'Oh, so Grandpa and Grandma have come back?' Corinne grew nervous. She had met Pamela before but not Greg.
"Corinne!" Pamela called out to her warmly as soon as she stepped into the foyer.
Pamela got up and walked over smilingly. She gently held Corinne's arms and studied her. Then, she frowned. "Corinne, did you slim down again? Why, it's only been a few months since I'm gone. That won't do! You need to eat more. I won't be traveling anywhere else this time, so I can cook your favorites for you every day. I must fatten you!"
Corinne immediately had a flashback of the time she got a nosebleed after drinking the soup Pamela made, causing her to suddenly feel an overwhelming sense of pressure. She smiled awkwardly and said, "T- Thanks, Grandma. I'll be looking forward to it."
Francine, who was sitting close by, crossed her arms and scoffed." Grandma only has eyes for Corinne now,' she said in a tone dripping with jealousy. Her tutoring session with Chester must have ended since he was nowhere to be seen.
Pamela turned and rolled her eyes at her. "You silly girl. You had all my attention for so many years. Can't you just let Corinne have some of it for now?"
Francine pouted. Frankly, she did not dislike Corinne as much as before, so she was not that angry to see Pamela spoiling Corinne.
Pamela led Corinne to an old man who was sitting in a wheelchair. "Greg, this is Corinne, our granddaughter-in-law. Isn't she just as cute and pretty as me?" she introduced with a smile.
'Hello, Grandpa," greeted Corinne politely, making sure to meet his eyes.
Though wheelchair-bound, Greg still retained his usual domineering qualities to him. Anyone who was not close to him would easily be cowed by his oppressive aura.
Greg looked Corinne up and down before finally fixing his gaze on her face. He could not quite put his finger on it, but there was definitely something off about her. Frowning, he asked, "She's our granddaughter-in-law? That can’t be right.
She looks so different from the photo on the marriage certificate." 1 Pamela coughed loudly. "Ahem! It's time for you to take your medicine, you old fool. Francine, go get your grandfather's medicine and some water!"
Francine was in a good mood today, so she did as Pamela asked.
After that, no one brought up what Greg said anymore.
Pamela turned her attention back to Corinne. She smiled kindly and asked, "Corinne, where did you go just now?"
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 906-Corinne heard what Greg said, but she remained impassive. Instead, she smiled and answered, "I went to look for a friend. Sorry, Grandma. I didn't know you and Grandpa would be coming home today. I would've stayed home and waited for you."
Pamela shook her head. "It's okay, Corinne. It was a last-minute decision, so it was our fault for not informing you sooner. Even Jeremy has no idea we're here.
By the way, you must be tired from your little outing. Why don't you go up and have a good rest? I'll cook something for you and Jeremy once he's back.' Corinne nodded. "Alright. Thanks, Grandma."
She was indeed tired. Her energy level had been on the decline ever since she got pregnant, which was why she was happy to take up Pamela on her suggestion. The thought of staying downstairs to talk with Pamela did enter Corinne's mind, but she had a feeling Pamela did not want her to do that.
Midway up the stairs, Corinne looked back at them and saw Pamela walking over to Greg with a frown and lightly hitting him on the arm. The elderly woman then bent and whispered something to him. It seemed like she was telling him to be careful in choosing his words.
Corinne's eyes dimmed a little. She looked away and made her way into her room. 'So things aren't as simple as they seem in this family. Maybe that's why Jeremy doesn't want to register our marriage yet.’ She was immediately overcome by exhaustion once she was back in her room.
However, she could not sleep no matter how she tossed and turned.
After a while, the door swung open, and in walked Jeremy.
Seeing her eyes shut, Jeremy walked over to the bed and pulled the blanket over her. The sound of the movement caused her to open her eyes.
Jeremy was a little surprised when she woke up. He sat on the bed and asked gently, "Did I wake you?” Corinne looked him straight in the eyes. 'I wasn't sleeping."
Jeremy stroked her cheek lightly. "Then why did you keep your eyes closed?
Were you pretending to be asleep?' Corinne frowned. "No. I wanted to sleep but couldn't."
"What's the matter? Are you sick?"
Corinne found it uncomfortable to talk while lying down, so she sat up. "No. It's probably ’cause I slept too much last night."
Jeremy was relieved to hear that. "Where did you go today?" he asked.
"Nowhere."
Jeremy frowned. "I know you went out, so why won't you tell me where?"
Corinne looked into his eyes. "Must I tell you where I go every time? It's not like you've ever reported to me about your whereabouts!"
Jeremy was a little taken aback, but he suddenly smiled. "Well, do you want me to do that?' "No. I don't have that kind of interest," deadpanned Corinne.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. He could sense something was off about Corinne.
"Are you in a bad mood? Why are you talking to me like that?’ Corinne was indeed in a bad mood. She focused her gaze on him, and after a minute of silence, she uttered, "Jeremy Holden."
Jeremy's eyes narrowed. 'This is the first time she called me by my full name.
This can't be good.'
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 907-Jeremy had no idea why Corinne would address him by his full name, so he asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
Corinne looked into his eyes. "Are you hiding anything from me?"
Jeremy's expression stifled for a moment before it fell back to normal. He held her face between his hands and asked, "Why would you ask me that?' Corinne did not dodge his hands nor did she react. She simply stared at him. "I had a dream where you lied to me about everything. I want to make sure you aren't hiding anything from me right now. Well, are you?"
Jeremy remembered how scared Corinne looked when she woke up from her nightmare last night. He sighed helplessly and said, “So you're still angry at me for what happened in your nightmare last night? It wasn't real, so don't think too much about it."
'Jeremy Holden, answer my question. Are you, or are you not hiding anything from me?’ Corinne asked emotionlessly. "I promise I won't get mad if you come clean to me now, but if you don't and I find out about it in the future… Well, you can kiss this relationship goodbye!"
Jeremy was confused as to why she acted like that. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm not hiding anything from you."
Corinne raised her eyebrow. "Are you sure?' Two seconds of silence ensued before he nodded and said, "Yes."
Corinne scrutinized him silently.
Jeremy moved his hand from her cheek to her chin. He gave it a light squeeze before leaning in for a kiss.
Corinne turned her head away. 'Mister, your grandparents came home today, so you better behave.’ Not getting what he wanted, Jeremy frowned. He then rested his chin on her forehead. "So we're doing the not-kissing thing again, huh? I knew you went to Rivera Group to visit your brother today… My question is, why didn't you drop by my office for a visit, too?"
Corinne was a little taken aback, but her surprise did not last long. 'Of course he'd know. We're in New Capital City after all. Nothing ever gets past him on his turf.' Being in a bad mood, Corinne did not ask him how he came by that information.
She simply let him rest his chin on her head, but she made sure to avert her gaze from his.
"He's not my brother, so stop calling him that," said Corinne with her eyes down.
Jeremy seemed peeved by her refusal to meet his eyes. He lifted her chin, so she had no choice but to look him in the eyes.
He then scoffed and asked, "Why did you let him hold your hands, then?"
The jealousy in his tone was apparent, but this time, Corinne ignored it. Instead, she frowned and shot back, "That caught me off, too. But how did you know all this?"
"Anya sent me a photo," replied Jeremy honestly.
Corinne scoffed. "I'm glad to see you've kept contact with her even though you knew she wasn't your savior."
Jeremy suddenly grinned when he saw she was angered. "Is this jealousy I smell on you?"
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "No. Why should I be?"
"Because I've kept in contact with Anya."
"Don't make me laugh."
'So how come you'll visit Lucas but not me?"
"I didn't want to bother you."
"You're never a bother to me
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 908-Corinne smiled indifferently. "Okay, I'll drop by your office one day."
Jeremy furrowed his brow and moved closer to her. "Before that, how about I give you a little bother first?"
'Give me a little bother?' Corinne did not even have time to figure out what he meant before his warm lips fell on hers. All she could see was his handsome face while he pushed her against the headboard.
After a few seconds or so, Corinne finally snapped out of her shock. The first thing she did was to push him away, but no matter how she pushed back,
Jeremy remained rooted to where he was. After all, there existed a vast difference in strength between her and Jeremy.
'Well, if you can't beat them, join them,' thought Corinne. She decided not to waste her energy and instead hooked her arms around Jeremy's neck and kissed him back.
Jeremy's pupils dilated. He was surprised by her reaction, but he then smiled as he eased himself into the enjoyment. However, their making-out session was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Mister Jeremy, Miss Pamela has asked the two of you to come down for dinner," said Bowen from the other side of the door.
Jeremy smiled. "Fine, then. Let's continue where we left off tonight. For now, let's go down and have dinner with the grandparents." 'Continue tonight? As if!' Corinne gave him an annoyed side-eye, but there was no hiding the blush creeping up her cheeks.
She was not hungry at all. She had a huge lunch at the Riveras' place, but she knew it would be rude to not show up for dinner since it was the first day Jeremy's grandparents had come back. Thus, she got up and followed Jeremy downstairs.
Jeremy smiled. "Fine, then. Let's continue where we left off tonight. For now, let's go down and have dinner with the grandparents."
'Continue tonight? As if!' Corinne gave him an annoyed side-eye, but there was no hiding the blush creeping up her cheeks.
She was not hungry at all. She had a huge lunch at the Riveras' place, but she knew it would be rude to not show up for dinner since it was the first day Jeremy's grandparents had come back. Thus, she got up and followed Jeremy downstairs.
As soon as they entered the dining room, they were greeted with a delicious aroma of food. Greg and Francine were already sitting at the table. Jeremy held her hand and led her over to Greg.
"Hello, Grandpa," Jeremy greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, Grandpa," Corinne followed suit.
Greg simply nodded at Jeremy, then at Corinne.
Corinne still had no idea what he was thinking of whenever he looked at her.
At that moment, Pamela came out of the kitchen. "Have a seat. Corinne! Dinner will be ready soon. I've made some chicken soup for you."
Corinne smiled politely. "Thanks, Grandma."
Jeremy led her to the other side of the table and pulled out a chair for her before gently pressing down on her shoulder to ask her to sit.
"Grandma, have you forgotten what happened to Corinne after she drank some of the soup you made last time?"
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 909-Previously, Corinne got a nosebleed after drinking the soup Pamela made for her.Pamela was filled with guilt when Jeremy brought up the past. After rolling her eyes at Jeremy, she smiled apologetically at Corinne."Sorry about last time, Corinne. I didn't mean to give you a nosebleed. It's just that you looked so skinny, so I wanted to fatten you up a little. I promise I won't force you to drink chicken soup every day now. You won't get a nosebleed if you drink it every other day."Corinne nodded and smiled. "I know you meant well, Grandma."'She's not only beautiful but kind too,' thought Pamela, liking this granddaughterin-law of hers from the bottom of her heart. She was pleased with Corinne, but the same sentiment could not be said for Jeremy. Frowning, she scolded him, "Jeremy, you need to take care of Corinne more! Look at how skinny she has become."Jeremy pulled out a chair and sat beside Corinne. He turned to look at Corinne before stroking her hair gently like she was a kitten. "You're right, Grandma.She's too skinny. We must fatten her up!"After that, he whispered into her ear. "You can give me the soup if you don't want to drink it."Corinne nodded. She was a little distressed at how to deal with the soup since she was not hungry at all, so she was grateful that Jeremy had come to the rescue.Pamela could not help but smile kindly when she saw Corinne and Jeremy talking in a hushed tone. She nudged Greg and said, "Check out that aloof grandson of ours. He's even learned how to be loving to others!’ Being a man of few words, Greg said nothing. He simply frowned when he saw how softly Jeremy was talking to Corinne.Corinne felt the way Greg was staring at her. 'It's obvious Grandpa doesn't like me as much as Grandma does...' Throughout the dinner, Pamela was very attentive to Corinne. She kept piling food on her plate to the point that Corinne could not possibly finish it all. It was a good thing Jeremy was well aware of what was happening, so he would secretly help her eat the food on her plate from time to time.At the tail-end of the dinner, a servant suddenly came in and reported," Mister Jeremy, some people are asking for Miss Corinne outside."Corinne raised her eyebrow. "For me?"The servant nodded. "Yes, Ma'am. Three of them had come before. They said they're your family."'My family?' Corinne instantly thought of the Riveras but then quickly changed her mind. 'No, it can't be them 'cause the servant would've recognized them.Plus, Lucas promised me he won't tell the others about my real identity yet.' Corinne might not have liked Lucas, but she trusted he would keep his promise.'So the only possible answer is the Carews have come. But why would they?They haven't contacted me since I cut ties with them. This can't be good.' Pamela had no idea of the convoluted relationship Corinne had with the Carews; she thought it was just her in-laws dropping in for a visit so she smiled and said, "Corinne, you should ask your family to join US for dinner. I'll ask the kitchen to whip up a few more dishes."The servant was about to pass on the order to the kitchen when Corinne stood up and said, "That won't be necessary, Grandma. Let me go out to see if they're really looking for me. This might all just be a misunderstanding."
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 910-Corinne followed the servant out of the dining room. Jeremy knew how complicated Corinne's relationship was with the Carews, so out of worry for her, he stood up and made his way out too.All of a sudden, Greg stopped him.’Jeremy," Greg called out sternly.Jeremy turned back to look at him. "Yes, Grandpa?"Frowning, he turned his wheelchair around. "Come to my room. I have something to ask you."Jeremy turned to look at Corinne's disappearing figure with disappointment.After thinking over it, he followed Greg into his room.As soon as she stepped outside, Corinne saw Sherlyn's old red sports car.Sherlyn's eyes, which were caked in heavy makeup, widened with hatred when she saw Corinne.Corinne ordered the servant who followed her out to go back inside the mansion before she walked upto Sherlyn.Sherlyn got down from her sports car and arrogantly walked up to Corinne in her six-inch heels. "Well, hello there, Corinne. It's been a while."Corinne looked at her calmly. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"Sherlyn scoffed after looking at Corinne from head to toe. "One would think you're not some Missus Holden at all. I thought you'll be dripping in jewelry and branded items, but you still look as cheap as ever!"Corinne knew how shallow Sherlyn was, so she did not take what she said to heart. However, someone else did.Francine immediately shot out of the mansion."Who are you calling cheap?!" she shouted. "Do you think you're high-class just because you're wearing branded clothes? Well, I guess I shouldn't expect a hick like you to know just how last season everything you're wearing is!"Sherlyn was shocked by the sudden scolding and frowned unhappily at Francine. However, her anger subsided a little when she saw the other woman dressed in the latest branded wear.'Excuse me Miss, but I'm talking about Corinne, not you."Francine had never been the type to back down from a fight. "I won't allow you to talk bad about Corinne either! You should take a good look in the mirror before coming for my sister-in-law like that!"Sherlyn's expression darkened, but she dared not offend the Holdens. She forced herself to calm down by taking a few deep breaths before she turned to Corinne and said, "Corinne, I didn't come alone. Mom and Dad are here, too.""Why don't you just get straight to the point and tell the reason for your visit, ’ said Corinne indifferently.Sherlyn scoffed. "Need you ask?"The more she looked at Corinne, the more she hated her.'God, I hate her so much! She’s the reason I became a D-list actress.People were begging me to star in their movies when I was still popular. Now, I have to do the begging! What right does Corinne have to be Missus Holden?’ Corinne raised her eyebrow. "How would I know if I don't ask?"
