The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 434
By the time Jeremy turned around, Corinne and the others were already nowhere to be seen in the hospital corridor.
‘Was it my imagination? I could’ve sworn I heard a little rascal’s voice just now,’ thought
Jeremy.
Anya came back with the medicine. “Jeremy, I got the medicine for the baby. We can go back. now.”

Jeremy nodded. The toddler with his head resting over Jeremy’s shoulder
off and the three of them walked over to the elevator.
already dozed
Anya was glowing with pride and happiness when she realized all the passers-by were looking at her with admiring eyes. She
tilted her head to look at the handsome man with her child in
his arms.
‘I can’t believe I’m finally living my dream life. From this moment onward, Jeremy, me, and our baby are going to live happily ever
after.’
Corinne, Xante, and Aaron were back in the minivan.
While driving, Xante took a glance at Corinne from the rearview mirror. “Boss, where to now? ” she asked cautiously.
“Take me back to Holden’s estate,” said Corinne lightly.
Aaron frowned. He turned around and asked in a frustrated tone, “Why are you still going back there when Mister Jeremy
betrayed you like that?”
Corinne squinted her eyes as she calmly looked at the passing scenery outside the window. The time is not up yet. Our
agreement states that we have to stay together for three months. and today is the last day so I need to stay in the Holden’s
estate until midnight for it to count. I must uphold my end of the deal.”

Although Aaron admired Corinne’s rigor, he could not but feel helpless as well. “Boss, are you okay?”
Both Xante and Aaron could tell Corinne fell for Jeremy. They never saw the kind of tenderness on Corinne’s face when she
found out she was pregnant.
Corinne smiled and replied softly, “There are plenty more fish in the sea and this too shall pass.”
“What are you going to do about the baby growing inside your tummy?”
“Whatever will be, will be. Besides, Jeremy has good genes and I got his sperm for free. I’ll just
treat it like I went to the sperm bank to have a baby on my own.” She then closed her eyes
from exhaustion and added, “I’m going to nap for a while. Wake me up when we’ve reached the place.”
Xante and Aaron looked at each other helplessly and said nothing.
Corinne leaned lazily against the backseat, but she failed to fall asleep. She would be lying if she said she was not sad. Jeremy
was nothing but kind, gentle, and accepting to her as of late. She liked how meticulously he took care of her and listened to her.
Her fate was one of hardships from the very start. Therefore, she was cared for so lovingly so much that she had the illusion that
Jeremy was different from any other man and that she could depend on him.
This made her want to open her heart to him to the extent that she even began to seriously consider whether to spend the rest of
her life with him. In the end, she realized it was nothing
but a lie.
She, just like any other woman, fell for the oldest trick in the world.
‘Oh well. I guess I’ve learned my lesson,’ She would only admit how sad she was to herself but the level of sadness was not
enough for her to have a breakdown.
All she felt was a little pain in her chest. ‘This is nothing compared to all the hurt I lived through in the past. It’ll pass soon,
Corinne. All pain does,’ she told herself.
Bowen immediately greeted Corinne when he saw her come back.

“Hello, ma’am. Have you had lunch?”
Corinne changed into her indoor slippers and walked into the foyer. “Not yet, Bowen. Can you ask the kitchen to make something
light and refreshing for me?”
“Certainly, ma’am. I’ll have the maid deliver the food to your room once it’s ready,” replied Bowen.
