The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne never met a guy as crazy as Jason!
She looked at him with disapproval and said, “You can forget about the whole thing. I don’t plan to have a second child, nor do I
plan to find a stepfather for my kid.”
Jason pretended to be hurt. “But Corinne, I took a big risk to help you escape from the Holdens. Also, you promised to date me
for a month in return for helping you.”
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten my promise. But, dating and marriage are different things, so you better give up the idea of us
going any further than a date. I’m already too tired to give marriage another try.”
Jason gazed deeply into her eyes before reaching out to touch her, but his hand froze when he saw Corinne shrink back. He put
down his hand and smiled to hide his embarrassment.
“Don’t worry. I know you’re still feeling hurt over what Jeremy did to you, so I’m willing to give you some time. I trust that one day,
you’ll accept my feelings for you.”
At that moment, Corinne was not in a headspace to think about all that stuff. “Thank you for your help today. I’ll take your advice
to stay here for a few days. You can go back to work now.”
Jason smiled forlornly. “Corinne, you really know how to kick a person away after using them.”
Corinne chuckled wryly and said, “Oh, I’m not done using you at all.”
Jason was speechless.
“By the way, don’t tell Lucas about this,” added Corinne as an afterthought.
Jason nodded solemnly. “I know. But he’ll definitely be worried about you.”
Corinne fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “I don’t care whether he’s worried or not. The less people know that I’m here,
the better my chances of escaping from this city.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

Jason gave her an ‘OK’ sign before Corinne unceremoniously pushed him out of the door. even shut for one second before he
heard the sign of the lock turning from the inside.

He was speechless. ‘Wow, she’s really treating the place as her own home, huh.’
Corinne was not trying to be rude or anything, but she knew Jason would incessantly flirt with her if she did not chase him out of
the apartment. Besides, it would be inappropriate for a man and a woman who were not dating or married to each other to be
alone in a room.
After Jason left, Corinne sat back down on the sofa. Only then did she let the relief wash over her. However, she could not help
but feel an indescribable emptiness filling her heart.
‘Jeremy must’ve heard about my escape by now,’ she thought.
...
Meanwhile, back at the Holdens’ mansion.
Greg was watering his prized orchid when he heard a commotion coming from outside.
Not a minute later, a bodyguard wheeled Pamela in in a wheelchair. Francine, who was carrying Joey, anxiously followed from
behind.
Seeing this, the servants quickly went to take care of them.
Greg frowned. “What’s going on? You were fine when you went out this morning, so how did you end up in a wheelchair like
me?”
Francine handed Joey, who had tired himself out from crying, over to the maid. After that, she walked up to Greg to explain,
“Grandpa, Corinne went missing and Grandma fainted out of shock. But don’t worry. We sent her to the hospital right after, and
the doctor said she’ll be fine after some rest.”
Greg’s eyes widened in anger. “What? Corinne is missing? How is that even possible? How could a grown woman like her go
missing?”
