The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne’s pregnancy hormones made her more impatient than ever. She was already in a bad mood from seeing Jeremy, and
Sophia’s nonsensical babbling pushed her to the edge.
Corinne raised her hand, intending to push Sophia out of the way. Just as her fingers brushed her shoulder, Sophia flew out and
hit her head on the cashier counter as though propelled by some invisible force. Blood started to trickle down her forehead,
causing her to scream out in pain.
Corinne frowned at Sophia’s subpar acting. ‘I can’t believe just a few minutes ago, I thought this woman was smarter than Anya
in her manipulation method! Welp, she’s not that much smarter after all.’
Corinne did not feel guilty at all as she did not even touch Sophia before she fell on her own accord. ‘It’s just as well that she fell.
I can leave the restaurant now.’
However, she did not even take two steps before Jeremy shouted at her, “Where do you think you’re going?!”
Corinne stopped and turned to look at him. “What? Do I need your permission to leave too?”
Jeremy’s face darkened. He strode toward where Sophia was on the floor and helped her up before glaring at Corinne. “How can
you leave when you’re the reason Sophia is so badly hurt?”
“Forget it, Jeremy. I’m okay. Please don’t ruin your reunion with Miss Corinne because of me...” said Sophia, pretending to be
stoic.
Jeremy scoffed. “I know you mean well, Sophia. But I don’t think she’s the type to appreciate it.”Books Chapters Are Daily

Sophia shook her head and squeezed out a smile. “I’m fine.”
Corinne’s eyes had grown icy cold by then. “Mister Jeremy, you should know that she wouldn’t let me leave just now so I had no
choice but to push her aside.”
Jeremy took a step toward her and looked at her threateningly. “You can push her aside, but not to the point she’d fall and hurt
her head!”
He was still the same man she knew, but this time, her position with Sophia had been switched. Previously, whenever Corinne
was accused of something she did not do, Jeremy would unconditionally come to her defense. He would believe she was

innocent even when she did not tell him.
This time, he chose to believe his legally married wife—Sophia.
‘Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised,’ thought Corinne. ‘I was more important than all the random girls that tried to pull me down
in the past, so of course he’d side with me. But now that it’s his wife we’re dealing with... It only makes sense he’d choose to
believe her over me.’
Even though Corinne understood the reasoning behind Jeremy’s action, she could not help but feel chilled to the core.
“Then what do you want me to do?” she sneered
Jeremy looked at her from head to toe before gesturing with his chin to Sophia. “Apologize to her, and we’ll let the whole thing
slide.”
‘What? He wants me to apologize to her for something I didn’t do?’
Corinne smirked. “You might as well sue me because I’m never going to apologize. She knows very well that I don’t have the
strength to push her that hard.”
Sophia took a deep breath pitifully and said, “She’s right! It was my fault. I was caught off balance, and that’s why I fell. Jeremy,
please, let’s forget the whole thing. I’m really okay!”
Jeremy was not going to let Corinne off the hook so easily. He took another threatening step toward her. “I’m only going to ask
you one last time. Are you or are you not going to apologize?”
Corinne felt her heart aching. She was not hurt by the fact that she was wrongfully accused but by the fact that Jeremy did not
believe her.
