The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 617
Edmund swallowed back what he was about to say to greet Jeremy.
“Welcome back, Mister Jeremy.”
“Thank you. Take us out of here now,” Jeremy said coldly.
“Wait,” said Corinne. She turned to look at Jeremy and said angrily, “Mister Jeremy, why did you drag me into your car? I’m going
to get out if you can’t give me a good reason!”
Jeremy did not look at her. Instead, he lowered his eyes and took out an exquisite metal cigarette holder from the inner pocket of
his suit jacket. He opened the holder with his slender fingers, plucked out a cigarette, and tapped it on the holder out of habit.
“Why? Do you find yourself disgusted to be sitting in my car?” Jeremy asked mockingly. The way he spoke made it obvious to
Corinne that he was itching for a fight.
She frowned unhappily and said, “I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just I don’t want anybody to get the wrong idea. It’s not like we’re
close enough to share the same car.”
“We’re. Not. Close. Enough. Man, this girl really knows where to hit for it to hurt!’ thought Jeremy.
He did not light up his cigarette. Instead, he looked at her coldly and said, “I dare you to repeat that we’re not close enough.
Have you forgotten that we’ve shared the same bed before?”
He hinted at that fateful night when they had no choice but to sleep together.
Shame turned to anger.
Corinne wanted to curse him, but her anger turned to shock when she looked at Jeremy’s face.
“How... How did you get hurt?”
There was a bruise at the corner of Jeremy’s lips and an obvious wound on his left brow. The most serious of his injuries was his
left eye, which was bleeding internally.
“What happened? Who would dare to hurt him so badly? Aren’t they afraid of the repercussions?” wondered Corinne.

Jeremy did not seem to mind his injuries. He simply said indifferently, “It’s nothing. I just happened to bump into something.”
-Corinne glared at him. “Oh, please. What could you possibly bump into to hurt yourself like this?”
Jeremy glanced at her and chuckled coldly. “Why do you sound so surprised? Weren’t you the one who spilled coffee all over
your hair?”
Corinne was speechless. “Ugh! He’s so annoying!”
“I don’t care what happened to you, but you should go to the hospital since your eye is bleeding.”
Even though Corinne said that out of kindness, there was still an inexplicable tightness and discomfort in her heart
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and said, “Fine, I’ll listen to you. Let’s both go to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Both?”
An alarm bell went off inside Corinne’s mind. “I’m not hurt, so why do I need to go too?”
Jeremy stared quietly at her before his gaze traveled slowly down her flat stomach. After two seconds of
silence, he said meaningfully, “To see if you have in your possession something that rightfully belongs to my family.”
