The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 1482
The more Sophia could not get Jeremy, the more she wanted him. There were times even she herself could not tell whether she
wanted him because she loved him or because of her stubbornness. 2
In any case, did not want to give up on him or let him marry and live happily with Corinne.
She walked into the bedroom and saw ‘Benjamin’ had fallen asleep on the bed while Jeremy was staring out the floor-to-ceiling
window, lost in his thoughts.
After observing him for a while, Sophia finally said, “Zachary, has Benjamin fallen asleep? Are you hungry? Do you want me to
call the hotel for room service?’
Jeremy did not seem surprised at her voice suddenly coming from behind him. He simply turned calmly and said, ‘We’ve been
eating room service for the past few days. Both Benjamin and I think the food here is either too oily or too bland. We don’t like
them at all. Maybe you can go buy some groceries and we can cook for ourselves instead?”
This was the first time Jeremy had asked her to do something like that. Frowning with puzzlement, she said, “But...neither of US
don’t know how to cook...”
“We can learn. I think cooking it’ll be fun to cook for ourselves. Besides, look at me. There’s a slim chance I can ever walk again,
and it’s so boring spending my life stuck in this wheelchair. I don’t think I can take it if I have to eat the same thing over and over
again every day,” said Jeremy.
Sophia was stunned. She could not help but feel sorry for him. After all, Jeremy used to be a capable man who everyone feared,
but his reality had changed. He had to spend all his time in his wheelchair. Moreover, she was
to blame for putting him in that state. 1
However, she convinced herself she had no choice but to do that. She was so worried that he would leave her and go back to
Corinne once his legs were healed.
Sophia snapped out of her flashback and smiled guiltily at Jeremy. “Okay, I’ll go buy some groceries right away. There’s a mini
grocery store down at the hotel, so I’ll see what vegetables they have. Is there anything in particular you’d like to eat?”
“Just buy whatever strikes your fancy. We can see what dishes we can make with the ingredients you’ve bought,” replied Jeremy.

‘Did he just say we?’ thought Sophia with surprise. Jeremy rarely used the word ‘we’ to describe them. Moreover, he was
prepared to cook together with her. ‘Finally! We get to do couple-stuff together!’
Sophia smiled happily. “Sure! I’ll be back quickly!”
After that, she walked out of the room as though she was walking on cloud nine.
What she did not see was Jeremy narrowing his eyes suspiciously as soon as she turned her back to him.
His expression changed after he heard she went out of the main entrance. He then turned his wheelchair and wheeled himself
over to the bed.
“You can stop pretending to be asleep now,” he said, looking down at the boy on the bed.
The boy frowned guiltily, opened his eyes, and giggled sheepishly. “Hi, Daddy... How did you know I was pretending?”
Jeremy looked at him unsmilingly and scoffed. “You sure have no difficulty in calling me ‘Daddy’. Do you call any Tom, Dick, or
Harry ‘Daddy’ too?”
