The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Annie reeled in shock at Corinne’s response. She frowned and asked, “Why?”
She thought Corinne would be happy and give her blessing to her and Aaron.
“The two of you aren’t compatible. You’ll end up hurt if you marry him.”
“Why does it sound like you have a bias against Aaron? He sees you as his family, but it seems like you see him as a dirtbag.”
Corinne sighed. “It’s not called bias when I know him so well. I watched him grow up, so I know just how many broken hearts he
left in his wake. He’s important to me as a friend and as a family, but he won’t make a good husband.”
Annie was stunned. She blinked in disbelief. “He’s been with many women?”
“Yes. Loads.”
“Can you give me a number?”
Corinne frowned. “He’s twenty-three years old this year. And from the age of eighteen, he’d change to a new girlfriend every
week. You do the math.”
“That is a lot...” murmured Annie disappointedly.
Corinne patted Annie’s shoulder. “Well, at least you found out before things got serious. Just ignore him from now on, and
remember not to believe anything he says. They’re all lies.”
Annie hung her head low sadly, thinking.
Enter title...
Just when Corinne thought she was about to give up, she looked up excitedly again. “I’m okay with his past! It’s not like I have a
thing for a man who never had a relationship before. I’m fine as long as he stays loyal to me after we’re married.” Corinne did a
facepalm. “Do you really think a player will stay loyal to you? Don’t be stupid!”
Annie still believed love could conquer all. She pouted and said, “Everything is possible you, so what’s to say Aaron won’t
change for me, too?”
Corinne frowned. “Jeremy changed for me?”
Annie nodded. “His heart used to be as cold as ice, but now, it has melted for you and you only! He doesn’t even look at other
women.”
Corinne thought back to Jeremy’s attitude toward her from the very start. “That’s just his nature. Besides, he’s always been
uninterested in other women even before he met me. You can’t say he changed because of me.
“Aaron, however, is different. He’s always been a playboy since young. Nothing or no woman has ever held his interest for more
than a week. That is his nature, and you should know just how hard it is to change someone’s nature.”
Annie was not going to give up that easily. “It’s hard...but not impossible, right? Corinne, I really like him. He’s so good to me,
and I don’t want to give him up just yet. Not when we haven’t even given our relationship a chance.”

Corinne stared at the stubborn Annie for a long while before saying with a sigh, “I’m only giving you advice from my perspective,
but I can’t do anything if you insist on going ahead with the marriage. However, I need to warn you, Annie, that a man would do
anything to make you happy when he’s interested in you. When he’s not... Well, he’ll treat you so cold, you’ll start to wonder
what did you ever see in him.
“Take me and your Uncle Jeremy for instance. I’m fully prepared for the day he’d fall out of love with me, so I suggest you don’t
start a relationship if you can’t handle the ending of it. Though, if you think you can, go ahead and try. As for your marriage to
Aaron, you can accept his proposal if you’re okay with an open relationship. If not, you’ll come to regret ever marrying him.”
