The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Noticing bringing up Joey did not even work on Corinne, Francine grabbed her elbow again. “No! I’m never going to let you go!”
Corinne grew impatient. “Let go, or I’ll hit you!”
She might not be able to do a lot of things because of her huge baby bump, but beating up Francine—who had never been in a
fight before—was still easy for her.
“Hit me, then! I’m still never going to let you go even if you beat me to death!” said Francine fearlessly.
Frankly, Corinne did not have the heart to hit her anymore. “Has every one of you Holdens lost your minds? Just what the hell do
you think I am?”
At that moment, Annie and Marcus came running over.
Annie sighed when she saw how stubborn Francine was.
“Corinne, Francine only means well,” she said worriedly. “Maybe...you can consider going back to the restaurant to talk things
out with Uncle Jeremy? I just feel like there’s a misunderstanding in all of this.”
Corinne looked at Annie. Suddenly, she pushed Francine toward her.
“Take her back to her brother. I don’t have the time to involve myself with the Holdens anymore!”
A hot pink Panamera was parked at the roadside, and Corinne got into the front passenger seat.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Aaron’s cheeky face. He looked at Annie and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take very good
care of Corinne.”
Annie’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him. She nodded awkwardly at him. “Okay. I’ll leave her to you, then.”Books

Aaron glanced at Marcus. After thinking about it, he said, “You can come with us if you’re still worried about her.”
Annie was a little taken aback. ‘Corinne must be keeping all her feelings to herself. I might be able to bring her around if I talk to
her!’

With that thought in mind, Annie turned to Marcus and said, “Marcus, I’m sorry, but do you mind going back to the company on
your own? I’m going to send Corinne home with Mister Aaron.”
As unwilling as Marcus was, he did not dare to go against his boss’ wishes.
After Annie got into the car, Francine ran to the car, too. “Wait, I want to go with you guys!”
However, Aaron had locked the doors, so Francine could not open them no matter how hard she pulled.
“What the hell? Unlock the doors this instant! Hey! Do you hear me?!” screamed Francine.
Aaron ignored Francine. Instead, he turned toward Marcus and said, “Marcus, do you mind pulling Miss Francine aside? She’s in
my way.”
Marcus snapped out of his daze. “Y—Yes, Mister Aaron! Uh... Miss Francine, it’s dangerous for you to be so close to the car.
They’re going to drive off soon.”
“Ugh! Let go of me! No, don’t!”
Aaron floored the gas pedal and drove off after Marcus pulled Francine away.
In a fit of anger, Francine threw a kick at the direction the car drove off too, causing her shoe to fly up in the air.
...
In the car, Corinne leaned back into the seat and closed her eyes to get some rest.
Annie peeked her head out from the backseat. “Corinne... Uncle Jeremy...”
“If you bring up that name one more time, I’m going to throw you out of the car,” said Corinne emotionlessly, her eyes still closed.
Annie never saw this side of Corinne. She became so scared that she did not even dare to breathe.
Seeing Annie’s terrified expression from the rearview mirror, Aaron could not help but smile.
