The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jeremy’s expression remained impassive, but Corinne could tell he had no intention to let her go.
“You’d rather beg me than talk to me nicely?” asked Jeremy.
Corinne frowned. “How am I not talking to you nicely? Plus, you were the one who asked me to beg you!”
Jeremy chuckled coldly. “When did you become so obedient? Why didn’t you listen to me when I asked you to stay at home?”
Corinne was speechless. She did not know what he was trying to say, and apart from glaring at him, she did not know how else
to express her anger. After all, it was not like she could break free and escape from him.
The bitterness in Jeremy’s eyes gradually disappeared when he saw her angry yet puffy face. He pinched her cheek playfully
and said dotingly, “How can you still be so cute when you’re so puffy?”
Corinne was once again speechless. ‘Why did his tone suddenly change?’
“Ahem! Don’t even think I’ll forgive you just because you called me cute!”
Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “Then how can I make you forgive me?”
Corinne was stunned. She looked at his inky-blue eyes and fell into a trance. When she said she was not going to forgive him,
she meant she was not going forgive him for holding her captive in the car. However, it was obvious Jeremy was asking her
forgiveness for something else.
‘Forgive him? How can I ever forgive him for lying about being single and playing with my feelings?’ thought Corinne.
Jeremy rested his chin on top of Corinne’s head when he saw she was not going to say anything.
“Tell me. What can I do to make you forgive me?” he asked again.
Corinne’s heart trembled. She instantly snapped out of her trance and pulled her head away. She did not want him so close to
her.
“Don’t touch me!”
Jeremy did not move closer anymore. He simply looked at her quietly, his gaze both imposing and vulnerable.

Somehow, Corinne could not help but pity him. However, that feeling did not last for long. ‘What the hell am I pitying him for?
He’s pure bad luck!’ she thought.
“Mister Jeremy, please stop confusing me with your words and actions, and let me get out of the car!”
Jeremy frowned. “I would if you tell me why you ran away in the first place.”
‘Why did I run away? The nerve of him for asking!’ thought Corinne.
Corinne looked coldly at him. “Because I’m a woman of principles, and you just happened to cross a line that you shouldn’t have
crossed! Why should I not run away?”
Jeremy looked at her deeply. “Is it because you found out I got married to Sophia abroad?”
Corinne scoffed. “Why do you still need to ask me when you already knew?”
“It’s not what you think it is. Why didn’t you ask me to explain before running away?”
Corinne found his question so absurd that she nearly laughed out loud. “Did you forget? I did ask you back then, but you avoided
telling me the truth!”
“You did ask me? When?”
“I asked you if you’re hiding anything from me, and you said nothing!”
Jeremy looked down and sighed heavily. “I got married to Sophia to please my grandfather. Before I met you, I asked Sophia to
play along so that he’d agree to go for the surgery. But her flight got delayed on the day of our staged wedding, and then I met
you. So you see, there’s really nothing going on between me and Sophia.”
Corinne found his explanation laughable.
“In any case, you lied to me! So I’m never going to believe anything you say anymore. Now let me go!”
