The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 268
Anya was slightly shorter than Corinne. Her skin looked so fair that it looked like she was sick or suffered from malnutrition. She
had shaped her eyebrows exquisitely to accentuate her gentleness. There was a rouge mole between her brows, too.
She had a beautiful pair of slightly droopy eyes, making her look like a carefree fawn innocent to the dangers of the world.
She was very pretty but not the aggressive, invasive type of beauty. On the contrary, people would automatically think of
protecting her.
However, she was wearing a nightgown and opened the door barefooted... It seemed like she must have spent the night here
yesterday.
As Corinne was aware of that, she curled her lips ironically.
Luckily, she was smart enough to stay outside last night, or it would have been embarrassing. That being said, how shameful
can Jeremy be? Could he at least be kind enough to stay outside with his old love?
Did he not know he was already married?
Even though their marriage was built upon a mutual agreement that was forged, it was still very mean of him to bring another
woman back into their home to stay overnight!
Anya blinked her large round eyes when she did not get any answer or response from Corinne. She asked again, “Hi. Who are
you looking for?”
Corinne was not ignoring her; she just did not know how to
Chapter 260
answer Anya’s question. She presumed Anya would not know her even if she told Anya her name. However, if she told Anya she
was Jeremy’s wife, it seemed like she was provoking her.
She did not have the intention to create any conflicts with Anya, whom she had just met for the first time nor did she intend to
steal Jeremy from Anya.
After some thinking, she found a more subtle answer. “I’m not looking for anyone. I’m staying here temporarily.”

Anya widened her eyes like she discovered something new. ” You stay here?”
At that moment, Bowen came running down the stairs with an anxious look. All of a sudden, he saw Corinne standing at the
door. His eyes brightened as he strode toward them excitedly. ” Ma’am, you’re back!”
Corinne looked at Bowen and nodded.
Caringly, Bowen examined Corinne from top to bottom before he asked, “Ma’am, where did you go last night? Why didn’t you
come back?”
Corinne entered the house and nonchalantly answered, “I was at my friend’s house and it was getting late, so I spent the night
there.”
Knowing Corinne was home safe and sound, Bowen was relieved. “I see. Anyway, it’s good that you’re back.”
The changes in Bowen’s expression did not affect Corinne. Naturally, she passed the lunchbox in her hand to him and said,
“Bowen, this is the chestnut cake I brought back from my friend’s house. Can you please get someone to put it in the freezer?
I’m going to eat it when I’m hungry during the
Chapter 268
evening.”
Bowen accepted it respectfully. “Yes, Ma’am.”
Immediately, he called a maid over and passed the chestnut cake to her, telling her to put it into the fridge. He also gave
her a hint to call Jeremy to inform him that Corinne had returned.
The maid understood and nodded before leaving with the lunchbox.

After that, Corinne walked toward the stairs to go upstairs to her room without caring about Anya. In fact, she had her plate full.
Designing the Holden Group’s building was not an easy job. After delaying it for many days, she finally found inspiration for the
design.

It was very pressing to come out with a draft design within three days, so she had to make use of her time wisely and get started
with her work.
However, someone called out to her softly after she took a few steps.
“Corinne.”
Anya sounded gentle and soft.
Corinne stopped walking and was surprised Anya knew her name.
She looked back. “Yes? Is there anything I can do for you?”
