The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 391
“An explanation is in order.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. His gaze was focused solely on
Corinne, and he did not even bother to look at Sherlyn’s shy expression. He stretched out his big hand, took the suitcase from
Corinne, and handed it to Bowen, who stood beside him.
He then asked, “What’s all this fuss about?”
As Jeremy asked that question, he placed his arms around Corinne’s waist and pulled her into his arms, as if worried that she
might leave for real.
Corinne felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to hug her in front of other people, so she pushed his chest to try and break
free. Alas, she could not do so, and she could only shrug helplessly as she spread his arms and began explaining.
“Well, it all started when you went to the Carews to fetch your bride, which you were supposed to do by going through the main
entrance. However, you went through the back door and brought me away! Now that this secret has been exposed and they
found out that you picked up the wrong person that day, Sherlyn came to settle scores with me and demanded that I return the
position of Missus Holden to her. My only choice. now is to move away!”
Sherlyn frowned at Corinne’s blunt way of putting things and secretly shot her an unhappy look before following on from where
Corinne left off.
“My sister is right. The woman you were supposed to marry in the beginning was me. It’s due to my sister’s penchant for
troublemaking and taking advantage of other people that led to the present misunderstanding!
“I came to meet her today because I felt she’s an ignorant girl who has never seen the world because of her countryside
upbringing. I was concerned that it’d only embarrass the Holdens if she were allowed to keep staying here, and I believe it’s best
that she and I switch places as it’ll be more fitting of our respective status.”
Jeremy listened and glanced suspiciously at Sherlyn. At that moment, he finally understood why Corinne’s family showed up
uninvited that day. The polite expression that he had disappeared in an instant.

Rather than looking at Sherlyn, he gazed down at the girl in his arms and asked unhappily, “Why did you have to make a fuss
when they’re the ones who are causing trouble?”
Corinne pouted. “I didn’t make a fuss! You just married the wrong person! She’s the one you should have married, and she even
wore a wedding dress to wait for you at their home that day!”
Jeremy’s expression sank. “Enough with that nonsense.”
Despite his anger, he did not speak too harshly to Corinne but instead toned his anger down and talked to her as if he was
instructing a child. He wanted her to know just how serious the matter was, but at the same time, he was afraid that he
would scare her a little too much.
Corinne frowned and seemed a little upset.
He did not seem interested to know whether he had chosen the wrong person and merely asked her softly, “What did you
eat today?”
The sudden appearance of several uninvited guests who came to stir trouble that day made him wonder if Corinne had eaten her
meals.
Corinne replied truthfully, “I ate a ham sandwich this
morning and some pasta at noon. I haven’t had dinner yet.”
After meeting the Carews in the morning, she spent the rest of the day upstairs. Bowen had her brunch delivered to her room,
and she was quite full from the food.
Jeremy seemed relieved that she had eaten, and his expression softened slightly. “I see. What would you like for dinner then?”
Sherlyn stared from the side as Jeremy gave her the cold shoulder while speaking to Corinne in a very gentle and
accommodating manner. She became irate when she saw Corinne was receiving the tender, loving care that should have
belonged to her.
When she finally could not stand it anymore, she had a sudden thought and suggested, “Mister Jeremy, I think we should let
Corinne leave while it’s still early. If you let her stay for

dinner, it’ll be unsafe for her to bring her luggage when it’s too late.”
Jeremy looked at Sherlyn coldly and said, “If she leaves, you’ll be sent away all the same.”
Sherlyn was stunned, feeling her ego take a hit. “W-why? Didn’t you fall for me once before, Mister Jeremy? You can’t let
Corinne bewitch you! She might look like a good person, but she’s one of the evilest schemers ever! She’s the best at pretending
to be innocent and playing the victim!”

Lilliana was also a little anxious as she said, “My dear son-in- law, you need to listen to your mother-in-law when she says.
you’ve made a terrible mistake. The one you intended to marry is Sherlyn, not Corinne!”
Marvin had his ‘I-am-your-father-in-law’ attitude all the same and spoke authoritatively, “Listen to me, my son-in- law! You were
supposed to marry my eldest daughter, Sherlyn, and you chose my younger daughter, Corinne, by mistake on the wedding day!
This is a misunderstanding that we must correct!”
