The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia turned to look at Jeremy’s sullen expression. She asked cautiously, “What will you do if Corinne doesn’t care about you
anymore?”
Jeremy’s jaw tightened. He kept quiet and started the engine.
When Sophia saw his attitude, she thought to herself, ‘There’s probably no chance that he’d be with Corinne again. The only
bond he has with her is the child in her womb!’
Sophia sighed worriedly. “You shouldn’t force it if things aren’t meant to be, Jeremy. I can tell from the way you reacted today that
Corinne’s temper is a little, well... How should I put this... Well, I’m not saying that Corinne is a bad person. It’s just her
temperament that doesn’t suit you very well. It’s going to be tiresome for the two of you together!”
After Jeremy turned the steering wheel, he answered, “She’s young, so her temper is a little childish. I apologize to you for what
happened today. If today’s incident leaves a scar on your forehead, I’ll take responsibility for it and get someone to find a plastic
surgeon for you. I’ll also compensate you double for whatever losses you suffered.”
Sophia was startled. “What are you talking about, Jeremy? We’ve been friends for years! You don’t have to do all that. I’m not
that bothered by this little injury on my forehead anyway!”
Jeremy responded with a grunt. He focused on driving and did not say anything else.
Sophia, on the other hand, did not intend to keep quiet. She asked cautiously, “Why are you still apologizing to me on her behalf
if you think she doesn’t care about you anymore?”
She had never seen him apologize for the 10 years she knew him. That was her first time seeing him apologize, and it was on
another woman’s behalf, no less.
This, of course, shocked Sophia.
Jeremy did not think much of it and sighed. “As unruly as she is, she’s still the girl that I forced to become my wife. If I don’t take
responsibility for cleaning up the troubles she caused, who will?”
Sophia looked shocked, coupled with a bit of envy and jealousy. Jeremy still professed himself to be Corinne’s husband even at
such a juncture.

She smiled reluctantly and sighed. “You know, Corinne is lucky to have you tolerate her like this! She shouldn’t have left you and
run away when you’ve treated her so well.”
Jeremy sneered. “She’s heartless.”
He sent Sophia back to the hotel and drove off. She invited him to come up and have a seat, but he refused and left.
In the afternoon, Annie took out all the available ingredients in the refrigerator and began to prepare dinner. She did not plan to
leave that day and was determined to cook some food for her pregnant aunt!
Aaron followed her into the kitchen and looked at her with a smile. “Do you need my help?”
‘No’ was Annie’s first thought. She did not want Aaron to hinder her. She would be unable to control her nervousness with Aaron
around. Then again, she also knew that it was impossible to get Aaron to leave. After all, he would never listen to her! All she
could do was to ignore him.
“I’ll be fine. Just don’t give me more trouble!”
Aaron might not be an angelic character, but he still had some measure of sensibility. Knowing that it was rude to let a guest
cook alone, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the sink. “I don’t know how to cook, so I’ll help wash the ingredients for you!”
Annie glanced at him in surprise. She nodded, backed away a little, and handed over the task of washing vegetables to him.
Then, she went to prepare the other things on her own. She was never good at cooking in the first place, and she only enrolled in
a cooking class to try and win Aaron’s heart.
