The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 765
“Yes, Corinne?” said Anya as she turned.
Corinne raised her eyebrow and said, “If he’s thirsty, I’d highly suggest you bring him some water instead of a soft drink. Soft
drinks aren’t that thirst-quenching, and two, he doesn’t like them.”
A hint of hatred flashed across Anya’s eyes. “Is that so? But Jeremy specifically asked me to bring him some soft drinks. If I
didn’t know any better, Corinne, I would’ve thought you don’t really know him that well at all.”
“Alright, then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Corinne with a smirk after sipping her juice.
Anya hated how Corinne always remained unfazed by her insults; it was like throwing punches. at the air and did nothing to
assuage the anger in her heart. Anya scoffed and left with the soft drink in her hand.
Seeing this, Lucas glanced worriedly at Corinne before he got up and followed Anya upstairs.
Jason immediately sat on the seat Lucas just vacated. He then picked up a plate of cut oranges and offered it to Corinne. “Here,
Corinne. Have some oranges. It’ll cool you down.”
Corinne threw him an annoyed look before saying, “Are you stupid? How can eating oranges cool you down?”
Instead of getting angry, Jason simply smiled and said, “Well, have some water, then. You have to put out that fire inside of you
somehow.”
“Thank you, but that won’t be necessary since I’m not angry at all. You, however, should wash that mouth of yours with soap and
water.”
Jason shrugged and popped the orange into his mouth while he flirtatiously wiggled his eyebrows at Corinne.
Sensing him looking at her, Corinne turned and was immediately greeted by his eyes. ‘Man, I’ve gotta hand it to him. He must be
the first man in the universe who can make eating. oranges look sexy.’
Meanwhile, back in the guest room upstairs.

“Jeremy, you must be thirsty. Here, drink this,” said Anya as she offered him the soft drink. Jeremy was sitting by the bed and
looking tenderly at the half-unconscious, feverish Joey. He took a glance at the soft drink and said coldly, “No, thanks. I don’t like
soft drinks. You can have it instead.”
Anya’s hand froze in mid-air. Her heart throbbed with anger when she recalled Corinne’s warning to her. Not wanting to force
Jeremy to drink the soft drink, she simply put it aside.
“Joey looks to be settling down now that you’re here, Jeremy,” said Anya gently as she looked at Joey.
“Did you give him his medicine before you came? Why is the fever not subsiding?” asked Jeremy.
Anya nodded. “I did give him the fever medicine, but the doctor said there’s a chance the fever was due to anxiety. The poor kid
must’ve really wanted to see you...”
‘What anxiety could a one-year-old kid have?’ thought Jeremy. He frowned and checked the time on his wristwatch. ‘It’s getting
late. That little rascal must be getting tired.’
“Jeremy, you should go down to check on Corinne. I’ll stay here with Anya and Joey instead,” said Lucas lightly as he walked
into the room.
