The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne never expected that after all this time, Jeremy could still hurt her.
“No! I’m not going to apologize to her!”
Apologizing was akin to admitting to wrongdoing.
The waiters did not dare to intervene, so they went to get the manager. After all, it was a bad look for the restaurant if a fight
broke out at the entrance.
The manager’s hurried arrival attracted the attention of other diners. They, too, came along with him to see what was going on.
Pamela asked Francine to help her over to the entrance when she heard someone say Jeremy and a woman were fighting with
another woman. She broke through the crowd and saw Jeremy grabbing Corinne by the collar and forcing her to apologize to
Sophia, whose head was bleeding.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
However, no matter how much he threatened her, Corinne stubbornly refused to apologize. Sophia, on the other hand, kept
telling Jeremy she was fine and to let it go.
The livid Pamela rushed over and pushed Jeremy away. “What are you doing? Have you forgotten that Corinne is pregnant?!
Have you lost your mind? How can you treat her like this?”
“You see how Sophia is bleeding from her head? Yeah, well, Corinne did that. She needs to apologize to her,” said Jeremy
evenly.
With her arms protectively wrapped around Corinne, Pamela turned to look at Sophia. “Sophia, what’s going on? Did Corinne
really hurt you?” she asked when she saw the blood on Sophia’s forehead.
“Y... Yes...” replied Sophia hesitantly. “But I’m sure she didn’t mean to! She wanted to leave, but I tried to stop her from leaving
because I knew you wanted to talk to her. She...must’ve found me annoying, so she pushed me away gently...and I mean very
gently. But it caught me off-guard, so I fell and hit my head. Jeremy started to panic when he saw the blood coming out and
wouldn’t stop forcing out an apology from Corinne. I kept telling him I was fine, but he wouldn’t listen to me...”
Pamela frowned after Sophia’s retelling of what transpired. She looked at the glowering Jeremy before turning back to look at
Corinne, whose eyes were red and teary.
“Corinne, is what Sophia said true?”

Corinne looked at Pamela with wide eyes. She was not in a good mood, so she simply said, “I guess so.”
“Since you did push her, Jeremy’s right to ask you to apologize to Sophia,” said Pamela begrudgingly. “Now, won’t you be a good
girl and say sorry?”
This stunned Corinne, but it was not long until a chuckle escaped her. ‘I shouldn’t be surprised. The Holdens are all the same.’
She thought Pamela would take her side, but she was obviously wrong about that. ‘Of course she’d take her real granddaughter-
in-law’s side. I’m nothing but a birthing machine to them. They want me to apologize, huh? Fine, I’ll apologize!’
