The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne smiled. “Well, Jeremy must’ve done something wrong for me to want to hit him, so let’s just say he deserves it. But then
again, I wouldn’t waste my energy hitting him if he did do something wrong. There’s really no need.”
Francine frowned in confusion. “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, I’ll just leave him. He can do whatever he wants once he has his freedom back.”
Francine was a little taken aback. “So you’re saying you’ll divorce Jeremy if he does something wrong?”
Corinne looked out at the sky outside the window. “Yeah. I don’t have time to spend on a guy who doesn’t know how to control
himself.”
“But I don’t understand! You went through so much to finally be able to marry him. Not to mention, it took some time for Grandma
and Grandpa to accept you. Could you bear to let all that go without a second thought? Most women would choose to stay in the
relationship even if they knew their husbands have a mistress outside. After all, it’s not every day one marries into the Holden
family.”
Corinne chuckled softly. “Even now you think I married your brother because I want to be a Missus Holden. Do you think I care
about all the things that come with marrying into your family?”
Francine fell silent.
Before this, Francine genuinely thought all Corinne cared about was becoming Missus Holden. After all, marrying into a family
like the Holdens’ was like winning the jackpot for a poor girl who came from the countryside.
‘I know Corinne has real feelings for Jeremy, but wouldn’t it be great if she gets both love and money at the same time?’
However, as she slowly got to know Corinne, she realized there was more to her than meets the eye. Not only did Corinne know
Xante and Aaron of Newmoon Group, but they actually addressed her as ‘Boss’.
‘This means Corinne doesn’t need a man to get status, power, and money. Maybe she already has all three but decides to keep
it low-profile. There’s a chance she loves Jeremy for who he is and not his money...’
Francine pouted. “Fine. Even if you don’t lack anything, please don’t say things like divorcing Jeremy so easily. Unlike your friend
Aaron, he’s not the type that goes around screwing everything that moves. Besides, his reputation of celibacy is quite well known
in our circles.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...

Corinne smirked. “You’re right; Jeremy is different. But, who’s to say he won’t change in the future? I’m just telling you, I won’t
raise a hand against your brother because it’s pointless. The easiest thing would be for me to just leave him if he did do
something that warrants me doing so.”
Francine sighed. “Now I know why Jeremy is so crazy about you. It must be because you’re an independent woman who can live
with or without him. I guess I should be happy to find out Jeremy’s no different than all the other men who like a challenge,
especially in the form of a woman.”
Corinne chuckled softly. “You’re right about that. The more I hold him at arm’s length, the more he’d want to achieve dominion
over me. But having said that, this kind of feeling does wane over time, and there will eventually come a day when your brother
gets tired of me.”
Francine puffed up her cheeks. “You give up too easily, Corinne! If he gets tired of you, you should do everything you can to
make him fall in love with you again! You’re making it sound like you don’t have a say in how long the marriage can last!”
Corinne was a little taken aback, but she then smiled teasingly. “I thought you can’t wait for your brother to get rid of me so you
can get a new sister-in-law from a good background.”
Francine blushed with shame. “Okay, okay. Stop teasing me. I admit it was very shallow of me to always make fun of the fact you
came from the countryside back then. I know how very wrong it was now. And... And...”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “And what?”
The usually arrogant Francine lowered her head and said sincerely, “I’m actually glad you’re my sister-in-law. I...really admire
you, and I’m going to learn from you how to be a better person.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes before breaking out in laughter. “You’re only saying that because of Chester, right?”
