The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 720
After coming out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. “Let her sleep for now. You have my permission to
wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast,” said Jeremy to Bowen, who was standing not far away in anticipation
of his orders.
Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. “Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma’am would be well taken care of.”
“Good.” Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down. He turned his head
around and added, “Make sure she doesn’t eat too much junk food or cold drinks.”
Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally said, “Okay, I’ll make
sure of that.”
Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed someone so much in his life.
‘So this is how it feels to love someone so much that can’t even bear to be a second apart from her...’

Corinne’s sudden disappearance previously had left an indelible scar in his heart. He was so traumatized by what happened that
it had become a sort of neurosis for him. He looked at the closed bedroom for a while as though worried about the same thing
happening before finally going down the stairs.
After Jeremy left, Francine came out of the corner unhappily. She had heard everything he said to Bowen. ‘Bowen, do this for
Corinne. Bowen, do that for Corinne. Pah! He’s going to spoil her rotten.’
Francine did not understand why Jeremy cared about Corinne so much. How could Corinne, a country hick, ever compete with
Anya, a socialite? Francine had been against Corinne from the get go. She wished Jeremy would marry Anya instead of Corinne.
Therefore, she thought it was a good time to get rid of Corinne now that Jeremy was out of the house.
With this thought in mind, she walked brazenly up to Jeremy’s bedroom and was about to knock on the door when Bowen
stopped her just in time. “Miss Francine, your brother has left a clear order to let Ma’am sleep until ten. You can find her then
should you have something to discuss with her.”
“She’s not the missus of the household! Who the h*ll does she think she is? Why do I need to wait for her to wake up? It’s really
unbecoming for a married woman to behave like this. Let me teach her how the women of the Holden family should conduct

herself!” shouted Francine angrily, who deliberately raised her voice so that Corinne could hear.
“Please don’t be like this, Miss Francine. Mister Jeremy will be very angry if he found out about this and then you’ll be the one
who’ll suffer,” said Bowen helplessly.
Francine was not going to take his advice. She lifted her chin proudly and said, “No. My brother will never take her side over
mine ’cause at the end of the day, she’s just an outsider. So kindly get out of my way, Bowen.”
Francine pushed Bowen to the and proceeded to bang loudly on the bedroom door. “I’m coming in, Corinne!” Without waiting for
Corinne’s permission, Francine then barged inside
the bedroom.
Bowen could not stop her this time and considering the fact Corinne was still sleeping, he thought it would be inappropriate for
him to go in. He quickly summoned several maids and ordered them to drag Francine out of Corinne’s bedroom but to their
horror, they discovered Francine had locked the door.
‘What the h*ll is Miss Francine doing in there?’ Bowen quickly went to look for the spare key.
When Francine entered the bedroom, she saw Corinne was wide awake and scrolling through her phone on the bed. Corinne’s
lazy demeanor infuriated Francine. The thought of Corinne being all comfortable while she herself was locked up in the detention
center for half a month sent her into a raging frenzy.
