The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 887
Chester noticed Francineâs discomfort, so he walked over and gently comforted her before reaching out
to take the rest of the flyers from her. He could not bear to let her continue with the job.
However, Francine insisted on finishing what she started. She refused to let go of the flyers and boldly
introduced Chesterâs tutoring service to the impatient parents before politely passing them the flyers.
Corinne raised her eyebrow when she saw this. âHey, Mister, are you happy with the brother-in-law I
picked for you?â
Jeremy was surprised to see his arrogant little sister willingly letting down her pride to help a poor guy
pass out flyers. However, the admiration on his face quickly disappeared when he remembered that
poor. guy used to covet his wife.
âHeâs okay,â he answered coldly.
âHeâs the top student in his class, and both of his parents are intellectuals. Not only is he good-looking.
but heâs humble too. Whatâs rare about him is he never flirts around. I mean, where can you find
someone like this nowadays?â
Jeremy frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. âIt sounds like you know him very well. Could it be
because youâve had an interest in him before?â
Corinne knew Jeremy was jealous again, so she tried to explain, âHeâs the schoolâs hunk, so all the
girls in our school would talk about him often. I just happen to overhear them sometimes.â
Jeremy scowled and scoffed coldly. âIf that kid is as good as you say he is, then he wonât fall for
Francine at all.â
âHeâs right. A scholarly family wouldnât be coerced by a wealthy family. The only good qualities Francine
has are her looks and her wealthy family. Other than that, she doesnât have much going for her.
Though, thereâs a chance Jeremy is just jealous and wonât admit just how excellent Chester isâ¦â
Corinne did not say any of that out loud, of course. The two of them simply let Francine be and walked
a little further from the school to avoid bumping into her. However, what Corinne did not expect was
that the city hall was located in front of the school.
She watched a couple who had just registered their marriage come out hand-in-hand. They radiated
sheer joy as they discussed where they should go to celebrate.
Seeing this brought back the memory of Jeremyâs vague, evasive attitude when Annie suggested he
bring Corinne to register their marriage in the city hall.
Frankly, she did not really care about that piece of marriage certificate as she knew that it would not be
able to protect her relationship with Jeremy from going sour or for him to suddenly treat her wrong. She
only needed to look at what happened to her motherâs broken marriage to know that. Thus, it did not
make a big difference to her whether she got a marriage certificate or not.
However, she could not help but feel a little peeved at Jeremyâs evasive attitude that day.
âHey Mister, since weâre here, do you wanna go get the marriage certificate?â Corinne asked
nonchalantly as though she was just asking him whether he wanted to get some ice cream.
Jeremy was surprised. He looked toward the city hall for a second before turning to look back at her.
Why the sudden urge to get a marriage certificate?â His tone made it sound like she was asking for
something unreasonable.
Corinneâs lips twitched slightly. âWe might as well, since weâre here. Whatâs the matter? You donât want
to?â
Jeremy patted her head, âI didnât bring the necessary documents today, so letâs do it another day.â
Corinne refused to give up that easily. She smiled and said, âYou can ask Tommy to bring the
documents over. Your office isnât that far from here, anyway.â
Jeremy pursed his lips and looked at her silently for a long while. His eyes darkened second by
second, making it hard for Corinne to know what he was thinking about.
Nonetheless, she was no fool-Jeremyâs silence was all the answer she needed.
