The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 904
Lucas had experienced how stubborn Corinne could be, so he let the matter slide. He then sighed tiredly before sharply asking,
‘What did she call you just now?”
Edmund was intimidated by Lucas’ stare. ’Umm... She called me Edmund as usual...”
“Hmph!”
Anya knew there was a surveillance camera inside the elevator, so she reminded herself to tread cautiously to avoid leaving any
dirt for Lucas to hold over her head.
Thus, she refrained from saying anything to Corinne while in the elevator, but as soon as they got out of the building and into the
car, she said snarkily, “Corinne, you’re really good at having men wrapped around your little finger, huh? Even Lucas can’t
escape that fate.”
“You flatter me,” said Corinne without bothering to look at her. She then yawned before saying to the driver, “Mister, can you
please drop me off at the Holdens’ first?”
Anya glared at Corinne vehemently. She hated how nonchalant she was being. “Corinne, if I’ve guessed correctly, you and
Jeremy haven’t registered your marriage yet, right?” she asked with a scoff.
Corinne’s sleepy eyes suddenly widened. She narrowed her eyes and frowned at Anya.
Judging by Corinne’s response, Anya knew she was right. She smiled mysteriously and continued, “I knew Jeremy would never
get legally married to you. Oh, Corinne. So what if you’ve moved in with him? without the marriage certificate, you’re just a fake
Missus Holden, and I’m pretty sure it won’t be long until you’re kicked out of the house.”
Anya’s words aroused Corinne’s suspicion. “Oh? How did you know he’ll never get legally married to me?” she asked seriously.
Anya looked n at Corinne in disgust. “The Holdens will never accept a girl with a background like yours as a Missus Holden.
Prominent and wealthy families like ours are all about marrying their sons and daughters off to partners who have similar
backgrounds.
“Yes, it’s true Jeremy really likes you now, but just how long will that last? A year? Two years? There will come a day when he’s
bored of you. You must think your position is secure just because you’re carrying his baby, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk. How wrong you

are.
“You do know he could kick you out of the house and keep the baby in the family, right? He could marry some rich heiress to be
his wife and the baby’s mother. But of course, there’s another important reason why Jeremy won’t get legally married to you.”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “And what might that be?”
She was confident Jeremy was not the type to care about his partner’s background, but something suspicious was definitely
going on since he would be evasive whenever she brought up getting a marriage certificate.
Anya smiled smugly. It was rare for her to have Corinne’s full attention.” Corinne, seems like you don’t really know Jeremy that
well at all. Here I thought he sees you as the most important person in his life, but he doesn’t even tell you everything. Why, it
doesn’t even look like you know as much as me!”
Corinne was not in the mood to compete with Anya about who knew Jeremy better. Instead, she frowned and asked, “So what’s
the important reason?”
Anya was going to drag this out for as long as she could. That was the only way to make her happy.
“You want to know? Well, I’m not going to tell you. You should go ask Jeremy instead. But I don’t think he’ll tell you.”
Corinne knew Anya was not going to tell her no matter how much she asked, so she just gave up. She turned her face away and
closed her eyes to take a short nap.
By the time she reached home, it was already past two o’clock in the afternoon.
