The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 271
“I chatted with my friends until late last night, so I decided to just stay over at their place.”
Jeremy bent down and approached Corinne. “What sort of friend? Are they guys or girls? What are their names? Where do they
live?”
His barrage of questions offended Corinne, and she could not help but explode in a rage. “Am I not allowed to have friends? Or
do you mean to tell me that I’m not allowed to have any privacy when I’m with you? Must I tell you everything in detail? How is
this any different from being in prison?”
Jeremy froze slightly, and he narrowed his eyes quietly as he looked at her unhappy, dissatisfied little face. He smiled rather than
got angry at her, and his thin lips pursed slightly as nearly half his fatigue disappeared in an instant. She seemed to be rather
energetic still and had the strength to argue with
him.
He stared at her in silence for a while, but instead of arguing with her, he asked in a sneering voice, “Where’s your phone? You
could’ve called me to inform me if you wanted to stay overnight at a friend’s house, right?”
At the mention of her phone, Corinne lost some of her confidence and spread her hands open helplessly. “Sorry.
About your cell phone... I... I lost it last night, and I don’t know where I could’ve dropped it. I’ll buy a new one of the same model
to compensate you.”
It probably fell out during a physical conflict with the female

internet celebrity the previous day, and she only found out about it when she took a taxi that morning. Luckily for her, however,
she managed to have cash with her.

Jeremy snorted softly, raised his hand, and took out the very cell phone from his jacket pocket. He held it up in front of her with
his long fingers and tapped it against her forehead. ” You’re going to lose your brain one day if you keep losing your stuff all the
time.”

Corinne blinked unexpectedly, took the phone, and looked at it to confirm that it was the same one she had dropped by mistake.
She raised her head in surprise and asked curiously, What’s going on, Mister? Why is it with you?”
The man answered concisely, “Someone found it up by the river and handed it over to the police, who then returned it to its
owner.”
‘I see!‘ Corinne nodded and said thankfully, “I’m so glad someone found it! I was worried that someone might steal the phone. I
can’t afford to pay you the huge amount of money that’s tied to your bank card,” she muttered to herself.
“Corinne,” Jeremy called her name all of a sudden.
“Yes?” Corinne raised her head naturally and waited for him to continue his sentence, but her heart skipped a beat when she
saw his bottomless black eyes.
Jeremy looked at her intently and said to her in a deep voice, It’s never my intention to imprison you, so you don’t need to be that
guarded in front of me.”
Corinne was startled.
His attitude might be stern, but his tone was incredibly gentle

as he added, “You can have privacy, you can have little secrets that you’re free to keep from me, and you can have your own
social circle, but never, ever, decide not to come back home without informing me. What if something happens to you?”
As he spoke, his big rough hands caressed her face as his bony long fingers gently brushed against her delicate cheeks like he
just unearthed a long–lost treasure that he could not bear to part with.
He answered her earlier complaints without ignoring her feelings, and he even gave her a very specific answer and attitude.
His unpredictable and ambiguous attitude made Corinne very puzzled; he sounded like he was reproaching her while
persuading her with solid reasoning at the same time. ‘Is he too tired? So much so that he’s getting confused?‘

Jeremy lowered his gaze and stared at Corinne’s small and beautiful face. He looked at her starting from her eyebrows, then to
her nose, and finally to that sharp tongue of hers. It had been a week since he saw her, and though he did not feel much when
he missed her, he could get by with a lit cigarette and meditating with his eyes closed.
It was only when Jeremy touched her in real life that he realized there was an uncontrollable burning desire within him. He could
not wait for even a second longer as he raised her little face and kissed her ravishingly.
