The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Annie was a little taken aback. “What do you mean, Corinne? Are you saying you regret getting pregnant with Uncle Jeremy?”
Corinne’s mouth twitched. “The baby might be an accident, but I don’t regret it,” she said calmly. “I’m just reminding you not to be
so dazzled by romantic love that you start imagining a happily ever after with the guy when he hasn’t asked you out on a date
yet.”
The message seemed to have gotten through to Annie because she nodded poutingly and said, “Okay, Corinne, I’ll keep that in
mind. I should’ve listened to you in the beginning. Now that I think about it, it’s laughable how I thought I could change a player
into husband material through the power of my love.”
Corinne looked at Annie sympathetically. “It’s not you. It’s him. He’s just not the type to settle down and get married. I’m just glad
you saw his true colors before it was too late. I hope you’ll find a man who’ll love and treasure you in the future.”
Annie looked down at the floor as sweet memories of her and Aaron flashed through her mind. Even though she was angry and
sad about how Aaron treated her, she still found it very hard to let him go.
“Corinne, in all the years you know Mister Aaron, has he never been in a serious relationship before?” asked Annie curiously.
She was wondering whether Aaron turned out to be how he was because of a relationship that ended badly.
“Nope. Not even once,” Corinne answered without hesitation.
Annie frowned in confusion. “Then how did he turn out to be like this? I find it hard to believe someone is a player from the
moment he was born. He must’ve yearned for true love when he was younger, right?”

Corinne could not help but frown when she thought back to Aaron’s behavior in the past. She did try to rein him in a little, but it
was all in vain. He would either drink himself stupid or play games 24/7 whenever she stopped him from chasing after girls.
In the end, they came to a compromise. He was allowed to chase after girls but only girls who were players themselves. In other
words, girls looking for serious relationships were out of bounds for him. There had been so many girls over the years that even
Aaron himself lost count of how many ‘girlfriends’ he had.
“That punk doesn’t believe in love at all. Plus, he’s not dating girls because he likes them. It’s only because he’s bored, and
chasing after girls makes him feel alive. Annie, you should know, romantic love is not essential to some people. They’ll never be

moved by your love for them, no matter what you do or say. Forget about Aaron, and I’ll ask your Uncle Jeremy to introduce
someone even better-looking than him.”
However, it was hard for some like Annie, who put romantic love above all else, to comprehend that there were people who did
not believe in love at all.
After thinking it over, she asked curiously, “Then, do you believe in love?”
“No,” said Corinne after one second. She did not believe in love at all.
When she was a child and thought Marvin was her father, she hated him for abandoning her mother and ignoring her so he could
be together with Lilliana.
