The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 207
Annie giggled and nodded. âYes, Iâve eaten. You donât have to worry about me!â
Jeremy narrowed his eyes in displeasure. âThen why are you still here?â
Annie was dumbstruck before a chuckle escaped her. âOh, I get it! Iâm going to stay out of the way and
not be a third-wheeler. Bye! Iâm going to go see if my little pony has grown!â
Once Annie ran off, a spoonful of soup was brought to Corinneâs lips. She looked down at the soup,
then back at Jeremy with a frown. âMister, do we need to act like a loving couple in front of Annie?â
She thought he was acting?
Jeremyâs eyes turned cold, and the gentleness that rarely appeared in his eyes froze. âJust drink your
soup.â
Corinne was baffled. Nonetheless, she parted her lips and drank the soup while internally whining,â
Heâs such a moody man!â
As she was drinking the soup, she heard Jeremy call her name sternly, âCorinne.â
âYeah?â Corinne looked at him, waiting for him to say what was on his mind.
Jeremy gazed into her eyes solemnly. After being silent for one minute, he said, âRemember this: âyou
donât have to prove anything to anyone in the future, especially if such methods involve
hurting yourself.â
Corinne was puzzled by this. âWhat about when others try to frame me? Canât I prove myself
innocent?â
Jeremy said, âNo matter what situation you are in, Iâll believe in you unconditionally. You donât have to
prove youâre innocent to anyone else. To me, youâre always innocent. Do you understand?â
This struck Corinne hard, and her heart pounded like a drum. âWhy is he saying this like heâs promising
me something? How sudden.â
Another spoon of soup was brought to her lips, but she shook her head. âIâm full.â
Jeremy did not force her to finish the soup since she was full. He instead brought the spoon to his lips
and drank the soup.
Corinneâs eyes widened at the sight, and her face turned red.
Sharing the same soup and spoon⦠It was a very intimate thing that only a couple would do. As a
matter of fact, Jeremy was a person who cared about hygiene and cleanliness. How could he accept
sharing the same food and spoon with her?
Corinne felt perplexed. âMister, youâre making me confused, and Iâm not used to how youâre acting
today.â
It did not affect Jeremy as he continued to finish the rest of used to it so it wonât be a problem for you in
the future.â
Corinne stretched her lips and smiled awkwardly. âThe future? Our contract is going to end two months
from now. Iâll have to get rid of the bad habit when we break upâ¦â
âThen letâs not break up,â replied Jeremy calmly as though stating something ordinary.
Corinne was dumbstruck. âDid he just imply we donât have to break up? What does he mean by
that?â
All of a sudden, Sunny appeared with a serious look on his face. âCorinne Carew, come here. Thereâs
something I want to say to you!â
Before Corinne could react, Jeremy beat her to it. You can say what you want here.â
Sunny frowned and felt under pressure with Jeremy present. âJeremy, I wish to speak to Corinne
aloneâ¦â
Corinne got on her feet and said, âMister, Iâm just going to go with him for a while.â
Displeased, Jeremy commanded coldly, âSit down,
Corinne knew how possessive he was. She thought deeply and went over to whisper in his ear. Hey,
Iâm just going to listen to what he has to say and tell you later.â
Instantly, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, and he stopped insisting and allowed Corinne to go
with Sunny.
Corinne did not think much of this and followed Sunny.
As they arrived in the woods near the horse ranch, Corinne asked, âAlright, what do you want to tell
me? Just say it.â
Suddenly, Sunny placed one of his hands on the tree for support and kept Corinne in between him and
the tree.
