The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 709
“Oh come on, I’ve been alive longer than anyone here and have met countless people so don’t you think it’ll be easy for me to
tell what a person is like with just one glance? Besides, who are you to judge her? Have you ever wondered why I never thought
of setting you up with her? Well, it’s because you’re not worthy of her at all!’
Lucas’ eyebrow shot up. “How am I not worthy of her?”
Instead of looking at Lucas in a grandfatherly manner, Cedric revealed a face riddled with disgust. “As your grandfather, I know
how devious you are despite the gentlemanly image you try to portray! Even if I set you up with the best girl in town, you’ll only
come to treat her like she’s a worthless piece of trash so it’ll be a grave sin for me to set you up with Corinne.
Unlike Eddy, who’s a good kid even though he’s a late bloomer and a little too obsessed with his music. Corinne will definitely
end up happy if they’re together. Such a shame though.... How did a good girl like her end up with that son of a b*tch?”
Lucas simply smiled, though it was one that did not reach his eyes and continued to sip on his tea. He was in agreement with
Cedric’s opinion of Jeremy but then again it was not like his own grandfather had a good opinion of him either. ‘What kind of
grandfather would talk about his own grandkid like that?’
However, the mention of Eddy brought back a memory from the past. Lucas remembered the two families went way back to the
point where they had agreed to an arranged marriage between the two grandkids when they were still babies. However, it was
not Anya who was promised to Eddy but Luna and since she went missing, the two families had no choice but to put the
marriage aside.
Cedric did have the idea of trying to salvage the arranged marriage by offering to replace Luna with Anya but anyone and
everyone in their circles knew Anya was madly in love with Jeremy since young so he crushed the idea in the end.
Ever since then, Cedric had carried the guilt with him. He felt like he owed the Wildes and now that Mitchell was terminally ill and
did not have long to live, Cedric made it his mission to find a good girl for Eddy so that Mitchell could die in peace.
‘Grandpa is known to be picky and he’s never taken a liking to Anya ’cause he thinks she’s not good enough... It’s rare to see
someone has caught his attention to the point of him wanting to set her up with Mitchell’s grandson. Come to think of it, it’s rare
to see Jeremy getting all worked up like that too. My, it was certainly a sight to behold,’ thought Lucas with a smirk.
Meanwhile, inside the black car parked outside of the Riveras’ mansion.

Jeremy twisted open a bottle of mineral water for Corinne and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you regret what you did just now?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow and accepted the mineral water. “Why should I regret anything?”
Jeremy opened another bottle of mineral water for himself and drank two mouthfuls before answering her, “Weren’t you looking
forward to go on a date with that Eddy guy? I bet you’re regretting turning down Mister Cedric’s offer.
