The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 389
A lukewarm ‘hello‘ and ‘welcome‘ was a rare thing to come out from the noble Jeremy’s mouth.
Sherlyn’s heart thumped excitedly in her chest. She was
delighted and thought that Jeremy must have had a good impression of her. Why else would he act so politely toward her?
The fact that the cold, aloof Jeremy would welcome her was proof that she was the one he wanted to marry in the first
place. Besides, Anya did tell her yesterday that Jeremy had fallen in love with her after seeing her in a movie she starred in and
that was why he arranged for his men to bring the
engagement gifts to her house.
Then, Corinne came in between them. The people on Jeremy’s side must have thought Corinne was Sherlyn because as
sisters, they somewhat looked alike. Even though Sherlyn did not think so, it must be so to others.
‘Also, that b*tch Corinne rarely goes out with makeup on her face. Jeremy must’ve thought that’s how I look without makeup, and
that’s how he mixed me up with her. Well, I don’t blame him. A busy man like him can’t possibly remember a face he only saw
once on the screen, and that’s how Corinne had the chance to replace me. I can’t believe she pretended to be me for the past
two months. Argh! How dare she steal my man from me?!‘ thought Sherlyn with gritted teeth.
However, she forced herself to calm down by telling herself it was not the time to be cursing Corinne. The most important

thing for her to do was to make a good impression on Jeremy.
She flicked her carefully groomed hair in a way she thought was charming and attractive. “Jeremy, we met each other in Lunar
Century Manor before,” she chirped. “Do you remember?”
Jeremy glanced at her face and replied, “Yes, I think so.”

Sherlyn beamed at him. ‘I knew it! It only makes sense he’d remember me. I was the one he fell in love with, so he’ll surely fall in
love with me again now that we’ve reunited. I must’ve made a lasting impression on him then!‘ she thought.
In the living room, Lilliana quickly poked the sleeping Marvin and whispered to him that Jeremy had returned. Marvin was in the
middle of a good dream, but he immediately woke up and sat up straight on the sofa when he heard Jeremy was home.
He looked toward where Lilliana was pointing and saw Sherlyn talking to a tall and elegant man. Everything about him looked so
perfect, it was as though he was carved from marble. Even a middle–aged man like Marvin could not help but marvel at the fact
that a handsome man such as Jeremy existed in this world.
“The songs singing praises of him are true! The heir of the Holden family isn’t only talented but handsome as well!‘ thought
Marvin. ‘And this talented, handsome man is going to be my future son–in–law!‘
Marvin tidied himself up and puffed his chest. Then, he linked arms with Lilliana and proudly walked to where Jeremy was.
“Jeremy, our son–in–law, you’re back! We’ve been waiting here the whole day for you,” said Marvin.
Jeremy raised an eyebrow and looked at Marvin with a pair of emotionless eyes. He nodded politely at him and respectfully said,
“Nice to meet you, Uncle. I’m looking forward to listening to what you have to teach me about life.”
Marvin immediately felt like he was going to burst with joy. He became so cocky that his nose was about to touch the ceiling.
‘Good god, I can’t believe the heir of the Holden family wants me to teach him about life! Those relatives of mine who laughed at
me during the wedding won’t dare to laugh at me anymore now I’m the father–in–law to Jeremy, the heir to the prestigious
Holden family! Even he had to treat me with respect and listen to what I had to teach him about life!‘
Marvin was sure that his life was about to change for the better as he had Jeremy’s support. He could not wait to move around in
the upper–class society!
