The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Once they arrived at the city hall, Sophia hesitated for a long while before finally taking out her ID card needed for application for
marriage revocation.
The lawyer Jeremy brought with him liaised with the counter-staff, and the whole process went smoothly.
Finally, the counter-staff took back and shredded their marriage certificate, and that was the end of their sham marriage.
Tommy wheeled Jeremy out of the city hall.
The two of them were about to get into the car sent by the Holdens to go to the airport when Sophia rushed out and said,
“Jeremy, why are you leaving? Didn’t you promise me to have one last meal together?”
Jeremy’s heart was not in eating with Sophia. He wanted nothing more than to return home, with his head held high, and tell
Corinne that he had solved the problem. He wanted nothing more than to wait with her for the baby to be born.
However, as much as he was annoyed with having to eat with Sophia, he could not bear to go back on his promise after seeing
how desperate she looked.
Barring any surprises, Jeremy knew he was not going to see Sophia anymore, and it would be good if they could end their
decade-long friendship by having a farewell meal together. Moreover, doing this could appease Adam and ensure he would not
do anything dangerous back in New Capital City.
Thus, Jeremy turned and asked, “Tommy, what time is our flight?”
Tommy checked his watch. “It’s currently 8 a.m. right now, which gives us about three hours before the plane leaves. There’s still
some time for you to have breakfast, Mister Jeremy.”
“Okay, thanks,” said Jeremy. He turned back to Sophia and said, “Let’s eat somewhere near here.”
Even though Sophia got what she wanted, she still could not help but feel sad. She did not expect that Jeremy had already
bought his flight back home. ‘So he’s going flying back home after breakfast? Does that mean he never planned to have this last
meal with me at all? Just how much in a hurry is he in to see Corinne?’
Since Jeremy already said to eat somewhere nearby, Sophia had no choice but to simply choose a restaurant that was within
walking distance from the city hall.
After they were both seated, Sophia asked cheerfully, “What do you want to eat, Jeremy?”

“Whatever is fine,” replied Jeremy emotionlessly. It was obvious his heart was not there with her at all. He looked like he was
tortured.
Shot down, Sophia decided to order the same thing for Jeremy as she did for herself.
After that, she said anxiously, “Jeremy, my father said he’d take responsibility for the injury he caused you by getting the best
doctors in Molomia to treat you. There’s really no need for you to go back so fast. Moreover, I’m worried your condition will
worsen on the plane.”
Frankly, every fiber of Jeremy’s body was throbbed with pain. However, the only way people could tell was from his pale face as
he did not look like he was in pain at all.
“I deserve this pain. We’re even now. I don’t need your father to take responsibility,” he said.
“But Jeremy...”
Jeremy must have guessed what she wanted to say as he interrupted her, “Sophia, I’m sure you’ll find a man who’ll love you very
much in the future, but that man isn’t going to be me.”
