The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 400
Corinne neither liked Anya nor had any interest in chatting with her, but her actions seemed to suggest that she had something
to say to Corinne.
However, speaking to Anya face-to-face would be better than having to deal with Anya’s behind-the-scenes scheming. Corinne
withdrew her arm, patted the creases on her sleeves, and nodded to Anya as she curled her lips slightly and said, ” Let’s talk
then.”
Anya’s expression froze because Corinne’s action of
withdrawing her arm was a clear sign that she rejected Anya’s touch. At that moment, Anya’s deer-like eyes blinked blankly, as if
innocent, pitiful, and unsure of what it was that she had done wrong.
The two of them went to the small gazebo in the villa
courtyard, and Anya was the one who spoke first. “I’m starting to notice that Jeremy is quite fond of you and treats you very well
these past few days.
Corinne figured that their conversation would be boring and pointless, so she took two skewers of grilled meat before going over
with Anya and replied to her while eating, “Does he?”
A somewhat bitter smile unfolded across Anya’s face. “It seems so. I’m sure you’re very happy now that he’s being very kind to
you.”
Corinne thought for a moment and said bluntly, “I don’t feel anything special in particular.”
Anya then smiled wryly again and lamented, “I used to be like
24
this when I was with Jeremy. Every day was a happy day for me. It’s such a shame that men are so fickle. They tend to forget
about past relationships once a new woman comes along...”
Corinne was chewing on her barbecued meat when she froze as soon as she heard what Anya said. She turned her head to look
at Anya and asked with a frown, “When were you two in a relationship?”

Anya then raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if she had just realized that she had misspoke. “Oh, didn’t Jeremy tell you?
Umm... I’m sorry about that, Corinne. Guess I said something I shouldn’t have. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything and don’t
take it to heart!”
Corinne nodded with a smile. “Sure.”
She then continued eating and no longer asked any further questions.
It was Anya who ended up being stunned. She had never expected Corinne to have such an indifferent reaction to her
statement. Other girls would probably be very curious to find out more about their boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.
“Aren’t you curious about what happened between myself and Jeremy?”
“I am,” Corinne said as a matter of factly, and her tone was still as frank and indifferent as before, “But even if I’m curious, I can
always ask him myself. You don’t have to trouble yourself and waste your breath.”
Anya was startled by that response and looked at Corinne with a sympathetic gaze. “Are you that naive, Corinne? Didn’t you
ever consider why Jeremy never took the initiative to tell you about it after you’ve been with him for so long? Do you think he’ll
tell the truth if you ask him about it right now?”
“I’m sure he will,” Corinne said without the slightest hesitation, and there were zero traces of doubt in her indifferent expression.
Her answer made Anya’s mind blank for a moment, and she immediately frowned as if she was shocked by how much Corinne
trusted Jeremy. Despite her initial bewilderment, she smiled again and said, “You seem to know very little about men, Corinne.
To be honest, all men prefer their new relationships rather than their past ones. If they wanted to make their current girlfriends
happy, they would never admit to the wonderful memories they had in their previous relationships.”
Corinne cocked her eyebrows disapprovingly. “Is your dear Mister Jeremy as fickle as those other scumbags in your eyes? Why
would you still like him so much then if that’s the case?”
Corinne’s pointed question left Anya dumbfounded for a moment, but the latter soon said, “Since you’re being so frank with me,
then I might as well extend the same courtesy to you. I don’t like Jeremy-I love him! I’ll love him in all his flaws, and in fact, all the
world’s men are the same. Do you honestly believe that a loyal man exists?”

Corinne narrowed her pretty eyes. “When you say that, you are denouncing not only Mister Jeremy, but your father and brothers
too. Aren’t men all the same? Do you view your father and brothers in the same light as well? Are they just as fickle as all other
men?”
Anya had already expected that Corinne would refute her, but she was not as stunned as she was earlier and merely lamented
helplessly, “I’m not denouncing them. I’ve just seen too many fickle men in my life, and that includes my family members. They
can never stick to one woman. My father once had an ex- wife, and as chaste as my brother is, he sometimes has different
women keeping him company. I do hope you’ll understand the reality that all men are the same. Once the
fresh excitement is gone, they’ll start to lose interest in their current partners regardless of how beautiful or amazing their women
are.”
Corinne finally understood the point that Anya was trying to drive across. “You’re warning me, then? Are you trying to tell me to
be mentally prepared for the day that Mister Jeremy will get tired of me and start disliking me? Or else I should leave him as
soon as possible and quit while I am ahead?”
Anya nodded kindly. “I’m glad you get the point, Corinne.”
