The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne snorted and said, “I don’t want water. I want bubble tea!”
Jeremy nodded dutifully and looked at Francine. “Go buy her some bubble tea. Quarter sugar and quarter ice. Be back as soon
as you can!”
Francine’s mind went blank for a moment, but she soon realized that Jeremy and Corinne were about to reconcile. She
immediately grinned and said, “On it! I won’t be long! One bubble tea coming right up!” She turned and ran off.
Corinne paid special attention to her diet during her pregnancy and cut down on a lot of sweets. The stimulation she experienced
made her want some bubble tea just so she could calm herself.
Jeremy never looked at Sophia. He focused entirely on Corinne, and his gaze seemed to be cherishing her as if she were a
delicate little gem.
Sophia could not care less what Corinne thought of her, but she was very particular about Jeremy’s opinion of her. She thus
righteously said, “Corinne misunderstood me, and she’s also biased against me. But you know who I am, and you know that I’m
nothing like her accusations!”
Jeremy glanced up slightly and turned to Sophia. Rather than responding to her, he asked coldly, “Have you gotten a
replacement certificate yet?”
Sophia was startled and wanted to avoid the question. “Not yet. The procedure—”
Jeremy was in no mood to listen to her explanation. He interrupted her and said, “I’m grateful that you were willing to help me
with that favor, but you and I signed the agreement knowing that this was simply to deal with my family and nothing else.
“If you keep delaying the procedure to get a replacement and proceed with revoking our marriage, I would have to go through
legal procedures from the country and sue the court to revoke the certificate. I wouldn’t want to go to court with a friend, so the
ball is in your court.”
Sophia stared blankly at Jeremy. She never expected him to say something so ruthless to her. In the end, she could no longer
pretend anymore and turned on him in anger.
“So you’re just going to get rid of me after using me? I am the only daughter of the dignified Adam Group. I won’t let you bully me
like this, and my father won’t let you do this either! You need to take responsibility for me, or you’ll have to face my father. You

know how powerful he is. I don’t want to stir up any conflict between you two. It’ll break my heart to watch the two men I care
about the most fall out because of me! I won’t be as intolerant of other women as Corinne is. I’ll do anything for you!”
Jeremy took Corinne into his arms and patted her head gently. He did not want her to listen to Sophia’s ridiculous statements.
His sharp eyes stared defiantly at Sophia as he asked, “Are you threatening me?”
Sophia shook her head eagerly. “I’m not! I just want to be with you! I won’t even mind that you have Corinne, and I don’t mind if
she gives birth to your child! We can live together! I just want to be your wife—your true wife! I don’t care how many Corinnes
you want to have in the future!”
Jeremy’s expression sank. He found it difficult to grasp the notion that his old friend was putting forth and said indifferently, “I’m
sorry. I’ll only ever see you as a friend.”
