The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 816
Anya’s eyes lit up
when her mother mentioned miscarriages.
‘She’s right. We’ll just have to sneak the saffron into Corinne’s food at tonight’s dinner and, boom! Her baby will be gone!’
However, since all of her previous plans came to a fruitless end, she did not feel as confident as she did last time. “But what if
someone finds out it’s the saffron that caused her miscarriage?” she asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry. I’ll just say I did it should anyone find out about it. I can just pretend I didn’t know Corinne was pregnant, and that’s
why I gave her some saffron to try,” said Phoebe smugly.
Knowing her mother had her back, Anya finally felt at ease.
“Okay, wait here, Mommy. I’ll go get the saffron now. Try to put as much as you can in Corinne’s food... I want to see her bleed
out all the blood she has.”
Meanwhile, in Luna’s room.
Corinne was resting on the small bed with her head against the headboard. She scanned every corner of the room to see if her
memory could be jogged. However, nothing called up a strong sense of familiarity to her except for the broken music box.
Suddenly, her phone rang. As expected, it was Jeremy video-calling in to check in on her.
“What are you doing now?” he asked in his deep, strong voice.
Jeremy was flipping through his documents while occasionally looking up at the screen. It was obvious he was busy, yet he still
made time to check in on her. That was how worried he was about her.
“I’m about to take a nap right now,” said Corinne sleepily.
Jeremy frowned and looked up from his document to give her a stern stare. “Have you forgotten what I said to you?”
“No, I haven’t! You said I’m not allowed to simply eat the food outside, not allowed to sleep outside, and not allowed to drink,
especially now that I’m pregnant.”

Jeremy scoffed. “Then why are you about to take a nap at someone else’s house?”
Corinne pouted. “I was just a bit sleepy... Look, I’m still awake, aren’t I? Hey, Mister... Lucas. told me that this used to be my old
room.”
A pained look immediately flashed across Jeremy’s eyes whenever Jeremy thought of the hardship Corinne endured when she
was a child. “So what if it is? Are you planning to move back there?”
Corinne shook her head. “Nope. I just wanted to see if I can remember anything about my childhood if I stay here for a bit.”
“You don’t have to force yourself to remember anything. It’s best if those unhappy memories
are forgotten. Besides, you have me now, and your future will only get better from now on.”
It was rare to hear such romantic words from Jeremy’s lips, so Corinne was understandably. stunned, yet she could feel a sense
of warmth washing over her too.
“Aren’t you worried your staff are going to think you have a split personality if they hear you speaking to me like that?” she asked
cheekily.
Jeremy glared at her. “Is that all you have to say to my romantic words? You do know I only ever speak to you like that, right?”
Corinne laughed happily and blew him a kiss. “I love you, Mister.”
Jeremy’s cold heart instantly melted, which showed on his face. “You cheeky little rascal. Remember to call me if you need help.
I’ll go there immediately.”
Corinne nodded. “Yes, sir! I’m going to hang up now. Bye.”
After that, she immediately hung up.
Jeremy was speechless. ‘Why that little rascal! Why doesn’t she ever wait for me to say goodbye before hanging up?!”
