The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 625
Meanwhile, Corinne came home in a taxi.
Throughout the whole taxi ride, her mind flitted between Jeremy’s injuries, the look he gave her before she left, and the
misunderstanding between them.
‘Gah! This is so frustrating! she thought.
Mimi came to rub her legs as soon as Corinne entered the door..
Corinne changed into her indoor slippers before scooping Mimi up and burying her head against its fur. Only then did she feel a
bit better.
Aaron was brewing coffee in the kitchen. Seeing her back home, he asked, “Why are you back so early? Did you get anything
out of the party?”
Corinne sat down on the sofa with Mimi in her arms and leaned back lazily. “Yeah, I did.”
Although she was forced into being the Lovelaces’ honorary granddaughter, it could still be counted as getting something out of
the party since it would be easier for her to look into all that happened in the Lovelace family.
Aaron sensed something was off about her so he asked, “Then why do you look so sad?”
“I’m just tired,” Corinne replied weakly.
Aaron passed her a glass of warm milk. “What’s the matter? Did you dance too much at the party?”
Corinne accepted the glass of milk but not before rolling her eyes at him. She then took a sip of the milk and told him everything
that happened at the OB-GYN department.
Aaron raised his brows in alarm after hearing her story. “Someone must have tampered with the blood
test result but who could it be?”
Corinne scoffed. “If I guessed correctly, it should be Anya. After all, only she would do something like this.

After thinking about it, Aaron nodded in agreement. “Actually she has helped you in a way. If not, Jeremy would have found out
you’re carrying his kid!”
Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Yeah, you’re right.”
“Well, he already thinks we’re married so we might as well let him think you’re carrying my baby. It’s the perfect setup to dispel
any suspicions he might have of us.”
‘He’s right again, but,’ Corinne looked down listlessly at her hands as the milk in her mouth became bitter.
Aaron knew she was down so he moved closer to her and asked, “Be honest with me, boss. You still care about him, right?
That’s why you’re sad that he thinks you’re a loose woman.”
Corinne could not bring herself to tell him just how hurt she was. Ever since she was young, she never cared about what others
thought of her so she did not understand why she cared so much about what Jeremy thought of her.
‘Ughhhh!’ Not wanting to think about Jeremy anymore, she changed the topic. “It doesn’t matter anymore. Aaron, I’m hungry. Go
make something for me to eat!”
“Sure thing!” Aaron did not dare to pry any further into her love life so he quickly went to the kitchen but on the way, he said, “By
the way, this year’s World Hacker Conference will be held here. I heard Ghostlord is going to attend too. Do you want to go?”
‘Ghostlord! The world’s number one hacker’ thought Corinne. He was her idol and she always wished to
meet him. She was not in a good mood lately so she thought she should cheer herself up by going to see her idol. ‘And if I don’t
get to see him. Well, I’ll just take it as a way to get my mind off things.”
“Yes, let’s go! Where is the venue going to be?” Corinne asked.
