The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia gazed admiringly at Jason before praising him, “I respect you, Jason. Not many men can be so forgiving about their
partners’ past.”
Jason simply smiled. Not wanting to talk about himself anymore, he asked her, “What about you?”
“What do you mean, what about me?”
“What kind of attitude are you bringing into your and Jeremy’s relationship? I mean, you don’t seem like you mind that he’s
having a baby with Corinne.”
Sophia did not mind telling him the truth since he was honest with her. “To be honest, I don’t really mind. Worst comes to worst,
I’ll just raise the baby with Jeremy. Besides, I think I’m more compatible with Jeremy since our personalities complement each
other’s. We can just be ourselves when we’re together. Jeremy might still have feelings for Corinne, but they’re not compatible
with each other. They’re not going to be happy or last long together. That’s why I think Jeremy will eventually choose her over
me.”
Jason glanced sideways at her and sincerely smiled. “I wish you nothing but success, then.”
Sophia smiled back at him. “And I, you.”
After driving for a while more, Jason finally spotted a black car parked at the side of the road ahead. He instantly recognized it to
be Jeremy’s car.
He parked at the side of the road too. He then got out of the car with Sophia, ran over to the car, and banged on the window.
The window slowly rolled down to reveal Jeremy’s cold face.
Jason immediately stuck his head through the window to look for Corinne.
“Jeremy, where’s Corinne?” he asked.
Jeremy glanced at him coldly from the corner of his eyes. “Why are you looking for her?”
“Cut it out, Jeremy! We saw the surveillance footage, so we knew you took her away! Where is she now?”
Jeremy calmly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuck one into his mouth before lighting it up. He took a puff and
blew out some smoke before answering, “She’s left.”

“She left? Where?” asked Jason with a worried frown.
Jeremy held the cigarette between his fingers. “She refused to let me send her home and asked to be let out of the car. As to
where she went after that, I don’t know.”
Jason was furious. “How can you let a pregnant lady go home by herself this late at night?”
Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “Why are you getting angry at me?”
Jason knew he was at fault, so he took a deep breath and apologized, “Sorry for shouting at you. I was just too worried. But you
shouldn’t have let her go home by herself in any case.”
“She insisted on going home by herself. She even threatened to jump out of the car if I didn’t do what she said. So what do you
say? Should I have let her go back by herself or jump out from a moving car?” asked Jeremy impassively.
After a few seconds of silence, Jason asked, “Did you manage to get a cab after that?”
Jeremy puffed out a cloud of smoke. “I don’t know.”
Jason knew he was not going to get a straight answer out of Jeremy anymore, so he looked around the road to see if Corinne
was still there. When he failed to locate her, he ran back to his car and drove off to look for Corinne.
‘I should check her home next if I can’t find her along the road,’ he reminded himself.
He was in such a rush that he forgot about Sophia.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes as he watched Jason’s car sped off. No one could tell what he was thinking from his cold face.
Sophia walked over to Jeremy’s side of the car and said, “Jason, I think Jason has forgotten all about me so I hitch a ride with
you?”
