The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 433
Before this, Corinne never answered the question so straightforwardly nor did she ever call
him first.
Jeremy chuckled. “I’ll be back in a few days. There’s still some work left for me to do here. Be at good girl and wait for me to
come back, okay?”
“Okay,” Corinne replied coldly.
Jeremy quickly hung up the phone after that because the toddler in his arms was starting to cry for his mommy.
Corinne’s eyes lost their sparkles when she heard how busy Jeremy sounded on the phone. She then laughed at herself. ‘How
could I be so stupid?”
She always thought she was a very rational girl, unlike those girls whose existence was all about finding their soulmates. She
was never the one who fell blindly in love or trusted men. However, the fact of the matter was she was human after all.
Corinne never once doubted Jeremy, not even when Anya showed her the cesarean scar on her abdomen and told her she had
a kid with Jeremy. She thought Anya was just lying, wanting to drive a wedge between her and Jeremy.
‘And here I thought Mister was the responsible kind who will never abandon his kid, but he lied to me just now. He’s standing
right there and yet he told me he’s still abroad,’ she thought.
She could not help but think that in the half-month that he was gone, he was in the city all along to take care of Anya and their
kid. ‘Is there a need to lie to me like that? If he wants to be with her then he should tell me! It’s not like I’ll stop him from doing
that.”
Corinne understood very well her relationship with Jeremy was just a facade so she had no right whatsoever to interfere in his
life. She would not have held out any hope to be with him if he did not suddenly tell her he wanted to start over with her.
She also knew that Jeremy only married her because he was forced to do so by his elders, who were worried that he would not
be able to extricate himself from Anya if their relationship were to continue. The elders, they could not stand for that to happen
because of the bad blood between the two families.

Seeing Jeremy with his kid made Corinne realize that he never stopped loving Anya at all. “The reason he treated Anya so coldly
and indifferently before must be to trick his elders into believing he did not have feelings for her anymore.’
Corinne mentally berated herself for falling for one of his tricks. ‘I was nothing but a tool for him to get his elders off his back. He
tricked me into falling in love with him so that I’ll be more convincing as his wife. He’s worse than the devil. Has he no shame?’
The people around them started to whisper amongst themselves.
“Look at that man with his kid! He’s so handsome!”
“Oh my, you’re right. I just saw his wife walking past just now and she’s quite the looker as well. She must have gone to the
dispensary to get some medicine.”
“Their kid is so cute! What a beautiful family they are.’
“Well, I’m not surprised. With parents like them, of course, the kid will turn out good-looking as well.”
Corinne heard everything. She looked down and took a deep breath.
Aaron gritted his teeth and could not hold it back any longer. “Boss, don’t be sad. I’m going to beat up that b*stard for you right
away!”
Corinne waved her hand and said lightly, “There’s no need to do that. Let’s just go.”
“But that sc*mbag!” Aaron cracked his knuckles angrily.
Xante dragged him away and said, “Calm down. Don’t make it any worse for the boss.”
At that moment, Jeremy must have sensed something for he suddenly turned around with the kid still in his arms.
