The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Okay, let’s go now!”
Sophia and Jason went to the security room and asked the security guard on duty to let them see the footage. Soon, they came
to the part where they saw Jeremy carrying Corinne out of the hotel.
Sophia subtly clenched her fists. “Oh my god. How could Jeremy lie to us? Doesn’t he know how worried we are about Corinne?”
She managed to maintain a smile on her face, but everyone there could tell how sad she was.
Jason was no better than her. He did not wish for Corinne to have any contact with Jeremy as he wanted her for himself. Also,
he was worried Jeremy would hurt her in a fit of anger.
“Happy birthday, Sophia. Forgive me, but I have to leave now,” said Jason before he quickly walked out of the room.
Sophia immediately chased after him. “Jason! You’re going to look for Jeremy and Corinne, right? Wait for me. I want to go too!”
Jason was a little taken aback. “But you should go back to your birthday party.”
Sophia smiled nonchalantly and said, “It’s just a party. Plus, a friend’s safety is more important. You might not know this, but
there seems to be a misunderstanding between Jeremy and Corinne. I’m worried that Jeremy’s temper might get the better of
him. What would happen to Corinne then? I should go with you in case I need to calm him.”
Jason was well aware that Sophia wanted to go out of her own interest, but he did not have the luxury to care so much anymore.
He just wanted to find Corinne as fast as possible.
“Fine. Let’s go, then.”
Thus, Sophia followed Jason into his car, and the two of them drove out of the hotel. Along the way, they kept checking every car
to see whether it was Jeremy’s car, but they came up empty-handed every time.
Sophia was starting to lose hope about finding Jeremy and Corinne. However, she did gain something at that moment. She
looked curiously at Jason, who was still checking out every car.
“Jason, tell me the truth. Do you have a crush on Corinne?”
Jason was so focused on looking for Jeremy’s car that he was caught off-guard by Sophia’s question. He glanced at her.

After a brief moment of silence, he smiled and said, “Yeah, a huge one.”
Sophia beamed at him. “I like how straightforward you are. So I was right all along! Your eyes become so much gentler when you
look at her.”
Jason smiled. He kept his eyes on the road to look for Jeremy’s car.
After thinking it over, Sophia asked another question, “What do you plan to do now?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, what are you going to do about Corinne? Are you going to keep your feelings to yourself while you continue to protect
her from the side, or are you going to make her yours?”
Jason smiled again. “To be honest, I’m leaning toward the latter. But whether I succeed or not depends on how lucky I am.”
Sophia was a little surprised. “You really plan to make her yours? You don’t mind that she’s pregnant with Jeremy’s kid? Aren’t
you worried you’ll lose him as a friend if you get together with Corinne?”
Jason narrowed his eyes. “I’d be lying if I said I don’t mind, but I can’t do anything about it since Corinne met Jeremy first. As for
the baby... Well, I trust that the Holdens would want their grandchild back.”
Sophia knew what he meant. “So you’re going to wait until the baby is born and taken away by the Holdens before getting
together with Corinne?”
Jason raised an eyebrow. “The Holdens would take the baby to live with them. I want to be with Corinne now, but she doesn’t
want to. I need to work extra hard to make her fall in love with me.”
