The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 272
Jeremy hooked his arm behind Corinne as he clasped her waist and stretched forward. Their bodies came into close contact
through their clothes, and both sides were tightly attached.
Their breaths were intertwined, and their lips were about to meet. The sudden close distance made Corinne palpitate and irked
her considerably.
‘What is he trying to do? Anya just left!‘ Had she not seen Anya there in a nightdress and knowing that he and Anya had just
spent a night of passion together, she might have felt that he was being kind, considerate, and perhaps even developing feelings
for her.
However, it was clear to her that he had spent the entire night with Anya, so she was very unhappy that he still had the energy to
tease her like that.
‘Tch! Men!‘ Corinne regained her senses, tilted her head to avoid his kiss, and nearly twisted her neck as a result. She put her
hands on the man’s chest, pushed him back, and
consciously stepped back a little to keep a distance from him. I get what you’re trying to say, Mister. I’ll remember to keep you
informed wherever I go next time. You don’t need to do this just to reinforce that advice on me!”
Jeremy straightened up, and as soon as he heard Corinne’s heartless words, his handsome eyes narrowed and his passion-
filled heart turned cold.
‘This woman can’t read the d*mn room!‘
“You get what I’m trying to say? What is it that I’m trying to

say?” Jeremy glared at Corinne with a touch of helplessness, uneasiness, and unsatiated desire.
“Everything.” Corinne glanced at him and did not want to make too harsh a statement.
He said more than once that he could give her everything except his feelings, so there was no point for her to read too much into
his actions and think he had feelings for her. She gave his words some careful thought and came to the reason that he was
worried about her life because his main concern

was his future with Anya.
Once the three months were over, Jeremy would become nothing more than a divorced man if she survived until the divorce. He
would not feel affected much if he talks about marrying again.
However, if someone who is nothing more than a tool for him runs into some trouble and dies, then he could be considered a
widower, and his marriage to Anya–the love of his life- might result in her being viewed as Corinne’s replacement.
Many families felt taboo about that, and that would certainly be truer when it came to wealthy families like the Riveras. Since
Anya was favored by her family as the apple of their eye, they would probably never agree to let her become someone else’s
replacement!
With enough family conflicts between the Holdens and the Riveras, there was no point in adding yet another one. Jeremy was
simply trying to avoid such troublesome things from happening, and there was no need to spell such things out loud if one
already understood it clearly.
After all, it would be pointless to explain it in crystal–clear
detail.
Corinne thought for a while, then looked at Jeremy seriously and said in a negotiating tone, “I hope you won’t bring Miss Anya
back here to spend the night again, Mister.”
Jeremy was stunned at first and raised his handsome eyebrows to stare inquisitively at her. “Why not?”
‘Is she jealous?‘ he wondered.
Corinne shrugged calmly. “You do have other places outside, right? If there aren’t any nearby ones, you can still choose from lots
of different hotels! I don’t care if you sleep with her anywhere outside of the house, but it’ll be difficult for me to keep acting as
Missus Holden if you bring her back all the time! There are plenty of people in the household, so am I supposed to be offended
or just ignore you in front of the butler and the other servants? It’s not like I have any say over what you do anyway. Once word
gets out to the elders, they’ll discover that your marriage with me is fake, and you’re the one who will end up being in trouble!”
