The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 327
Corinne chose a nearby fast food restaurant instead because she was starving and wanted something she could instantly eat.
Jeremy never liked fast food as he thought they were unhealthy. However, he did not stop her from eating since it was more
important to get some food into her stomach.
Corinne ordered a set meal and some individual items, whereas Jeremy did not order anything and simply paid the bill. They sat
across each other, and while she was eating, Jeremy just stared at her adoringly.
Corinne had almost finished eating. She was sipping her Coke when she suddenly thought of something. “Mister, did you choose
me to be your wife because you think that I’ll know how to protect myself if I was ever kidnapped? Like you won’t be so easily
blackmailed if I can handle myself in front of the kidnappers?”
Jeremy hesitated slightly. He was quite surprised that she was able to figure that out herself. “Indeed. I didn’t want to drag
innocent people into my mess, and the woman I hired in advance couldn’t come because her flight was delayed due to bad
weather. Then, you came along. A girl who’s brave, smart, and knows how to fight which were all the qualities I was looking for.
But don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep you safe from now on.”
Corinne was not worried at all. She was just asking for the fun of it.
“You must be thirsty. After all, it’s rare to see you talk so much.” She held up the straw for him to take a sip of her Coke.
Jeremy was really flattered. It was rare for Corinne to personally feed him something, so he opened his mouth and took a sip of
her Coke.
Corinne then took it back and continued to drink from the same straw as if she had done this a thousand times before.
Jeremy’s heart warmed up. He narrowed his eyes on her and asked, “So you’re okay with us sharing bodily fluids now?”
“Well, it’s not like we haven’t done more than that anyways,‘ Corinne said with a pout.
“Then would you be willing to give me a chance to start over with you?” asked Jeremy with a chuckle.
“We can have a trial period,” said Corinne with a raised eyebrow.
“A trial period?” asked Jeremy with a frown.

Corinne nodded and said, “The trial period will allow us to see if we’re really compatible with each other. If we are, then we can
continue our relationship. If we’re not, then it’s best to end the relationship. Mister, you should know that some things are just
easier said than done. We grew up in two different worlds, not to mention the large age gap between us, so I won’t be surprised
if we’re not compatible. This way, there’ll be no hard feelings even if the relationship comes to an end.”
Jeremy was speechless. ‘She’s so hard to please!‘
He grabbed her chin and asked, “Then am I allowed to kiss you during the trial period?”
Corinne’s face flushed red. “Ahem! That’ll depend on my mood.”
“What about your mood now?”
“So–so.”
“Why is that?”
Corinne scoffed. “Would you be in a good mood if moments ago you were handcuffed and taken to the police station?”
Jeremy’s heart immediately went out to her. He grabbed her hand to check whether her hives had subsided and was relieved to
find that not only had they subsided but they left no mark on her.
Suddenly, Jeremy’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller’s name—it was Tommy. He answered the phone and listened for a few
seconds. Then, his face darkened all of a sudden. ” When did it happen?”
Vicky could tell something was wrong, and she observed him closely.
However, Jeremy got up and said to her, “I’m stepping out to take this call, but I’ll be right back. Stay here, and take your time to
finish your food.”
“Okay.” Corinne nodded obediently. She was very curious to know what had happened. ‘Is Anya sick again?‘ she wondered.
Jeremy went outside and Corinne sipped her Coke lazily and stared out of the window. She was completely bored out of her
mind.
At that moment, two diners holding their tray of food passed her by. They were discussing the latest news.

“I can’t believe how shameless that girl is! She’s young and healthy, but instead of holding down a respectable job, she’d team
up with some old person to scam others.”
“I know, right? Isn’t she afraid of getting karma for scamming people?”
“Wait a minute. Look over there. Isn’t that her?”
“Hey, you’re right! It is her.”
“Everyone, look! The girl scammer who’s trending on the Internet is here!”
Corinne was immediately surrounded by a group of people before she even knew what was going on. They were all trying to
take pictures of her with their phones.
