The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 516
Corinne’s phone rang just when Jeremy was in mid-sentence. She carried her phone in her hand since her gown had no
pockets. She raised up her hand and saw the caller ID to be ‘Hubby
‘Should I answer it? Wait a minute... Hubby?!’
She was visibly confused. ‘When did I save my husband’s number? No, the question should be, when did I ever get myself a
husband?’
“Is this why you ran away from home a month ago?” Jeremy asked sullenly.
The question pulled Corinne out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw Jeremy was looking down condescendingly at her
phone screen. His eyes were tinged with a kind of suppressed anger that looked as if he was about to kill someone.
Corinne had never seen that kind of expression on his face before so she was understandably
shocked.
Jeremy smiled bloodthirstily and said sarcastically, “I have it to hand it to you, Miss Carew. You’ve managed to snag a new
husband in just one short month!”
Corinne was speechless. She was still reeling from the shock of it all.
“Well, aren’t you going to pick up the call?” Jeremy asked coldly.
Instead of picking up the phone, Corinne hung up the phone. The only plausible explanation she could think of was that Aaron
was pulling a prank on her. He must have saved his own number under ‘Hubby’ without her knowledge and called her then.
She did not want Jeremy to find out about her connection with Newmoon Group. That was why she did not pick up the phone.
‘I can’t let Jeremy hear Aaron’s voice.’
Jeremy scoffed. “Why didn’t you pick up the phone? Are you afraid that your new husband will find out that you’re currently with
your ex-husband?”
‘Ex-husband?’

Corinne thought it was weird that Jeremy would refer to himself as her ex-husband.
His mocking tone made her very uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, she felt she did not owe him an explanation which
was just as well since she was not in the mood to do that either.
“I’m not going to pick up his call because we had a fight! I’m not ready to forgive him just yet, “said Corinne angrily.
Jeremy was stunned, but he became even more sullen the next second. If Corinne had acted all lovey-dovey with the new
husband, Jeremy would have thought she was putting on a show, that the husband was a fake, and that it was all a ruse to make
him forget about her.
However, the fact that they had a fight... Well, only people who were close to each other and shared their lives together would do
that, right? Therefore, that meant she really got herself a new husband.
Jeremy’s face immediately turned into ice as did his tone. “Who is he? When did this happen?”
Corinne cleared her throat awkwardly and answered, “Mister Jeremy, who my husband is has nothing to do with you. Also, you
can be rest assured that I didn’t cheat on you or did anything I would be sorry about behind your back during the three months
we were together. The reason I left was because our agreement came to its end. I don’t owe you one second more or one
second less after the three months are up.”
Jeremy’s jaw was tense with anger. He looked coldly at her and said, “You think you have it all figured out now, don’t you.”
Corinne felt a little guilty at lying to him, but at the same time she could not help but use that opportunity to take revenge on him
since she could still recall the hurt she felt after finding out he had lied to her too.
She lifted her chin proudly and said, “Why, yes I do. I’m glad you think that way of me.”
They had finally exited the highway and Corinne was relieved that the horrible journey had come to an end.
“Thank you. Please stop the car and I’ll take the taxi home from here,” said Corinne.
However, the driver did not stop the car. Tommy pretended to not have heard her too. There was no way they would stop the car
without Jeremy’s orders.
Corinne realized that so she turned to him and said, “Mister Jeremy, might I trouble you to ask the driver to stop the car?”

Jeremy did not even spare her a glance. Instead, he only spat out two words.
“Your address.”
Corinne was stunned. ‘He’s asking me for my address?’
