Chapter 1133
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
âNo wonder those tools look so familiar! Theyâre the same as those used in the airport for security
screening! Butâ¦â
âBowen, is this necessary? These people and Corinne go way back, so theyâre not bad people,â said
Annie.
âMiss Annie, weâre just doing our job. Mister Jeremy has left strict orders for us to perform security
checks on everyone who visits Miss Corinne,â insisted Bowen.
âFine,â said Annie with resignation. âLet me ask my friends to see if they can accept it.â
âVery well,â replied Bowen respectfully.
âThis is outrageous. I wonder if Mister Aaron and Miss Xante can accept this kind of treatmentâ¦â Annie
walked over to them and was about to explain when Aaron said, âItâs okay. We accept the security
checks.â
âWhat? Youâre not angry, Mister Aaron?â asked Annie in shock.
Aaron smiled. âYour uncle did this out of concern for Corinne, so what reason do we have not to accept
it?â
âPhew! Iâm so glad you think that. It didnât used to be like this, you know. But Uncle Jeremy mustâve
been really worried about Corinne getting hurt during her pregnancy to do thisâ¦â said Annie with some
embarrassment.
âItâs okay. Tell them weâll accept the security check.â
âRight away, Mister Aaron.â
After Annie gave Bowen the green light, Bowen asked the servants to perform a comprehensive
security check on Aaron and Xante.
At the same time, the supplements they bought were declined.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join

âIâm sorry, Sir, but Mister Jeremy doesnât allow Miss Corinne to eat anything that isnât prepared in-
house. This is done out of consideration for her health so Iâll let her know youâve bought her some gifts,
but Iâm afraid you wonât be able to give them to her,â said Bowen.
Aaron smiled. âUnderstood. I must say, the level of detail Mister Jeremy has in taking care of his wife is
really something.â
Bowen did not detect the sarcasm in Aaronâs words, so after the security checks were done, he led
them inside the mansion.
The living room was grand and bright, and apart from the servants standing by, there was no one else.
Bowen invited them to take a seat before saying respectfully, âPlease wait here while I get Miss
Corinne.â
After that, he went upstairs to get Corinne. It was obvious he did not announce their arrival.
Five minutes later, Corinne walked tiredly down the stairs with a toddler in tow. She was dressed in
loungewear, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail.
Corinne looked calm when she saw Aaron and Xante, but she did not meet their gaze.
Annie stood up and rushed excitedly over to her. âOh my god, Corinne! The security here is so strict. In
fact, itâs even stricter than the airportâs! We had to go through security checks before we were allowed
in. They wouldnât even let us bring in the supplements we bought for you.â
Corinne smiled tepidly. âYou can thank your Uncle Jeremy for that.â
Annie chuckled wryly. âI admit, he did go a little overboard. But itâs all done out of consideration for you
and the baby. He must be worried about you since heâs not by your side.â
Corinne smiled mockingly and said nothing. She sat on the sofa with Joey and looked absent-mindedly
at Aaron and Xante. âWhat are you two doing here?â
Aaron and Xante were relieved to find Corinne unhurt, but then again, they could not help but feel
weirded out by the tension in the air.
