The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jeremy roughly lifted Corinne’s chin. “Who am I to you?”
Corinne was speechless.
Noting her silence, Jeremy repeated his question more sternly, “Answer me! Who am I to you?”
“Umm... You’re my boyfriend...?” murmured Corinne vaguely.
Jeremy’s lower jaw tensed as he smirked. “We have a baby coming, and you still see me as just your boyfriend?”
Corinne frowned. She was really at a loss at what she should call him.
Jeremy moved his face closer to hers and bit her ear. “You little rascal. That’s not what you call me while we’re in bed.”
Corinne did not really feel pain. Nonetheless, she blushed madly. “What are you doing?” she cried while trying to push him away.
Jeremy grabbed her hand to stop her from pushing him away. He then gazed into her eyes. “Do you seriously think I’ll blame you
and ask you to compensate me for the losses just because of some scandal? Corinne, you might still see me as an outsider, but
I don’t.”
Corinne was stunned. “I just don’t like causing trouble for other people...”
“Tsk! There it is again. ‘Other people’! To you, I’m either an outsider or ‘other people’!”
Corinne was confused. ‘He’s been acting strange ever since I came down from Annie’s room.’
“Mister, why do you insist on picking a fight with me?”
Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “Me, picking a fight with you? Hasn’t it ever crossed your mind that I wouldn’t be like this if you’ve
just taken me seriously?”
Corinne frowned. “But I am serious about you!”
Jeremy tried to suppress the anger rising in him, so he rolled down the window and turned his face outside to let the cold night
wind wash over him. He would have lit up a cigarette if it were not for Corinne being pregnant.

After a long silence, he scoffed and said, “You’re the one who advised Annie to not start a relationship unless she can handle the
ending of it.”
Corinne was stunned. ‘What? How did he know all that?’ She then remembered Jeremy walking down the stairs after she came
out of Annie’s room. ‘He must’ve come up to look for me and was about to knock on the door when he heard our conversation.
Ugh... He can’t possibly think he’s in the same category as Aaron, does he?’
Before she could explain herself, Jeremy said mockingly, “You’re right. You’re the type who can end a relationship like it meant
nothing to you. Just like last time, when you left me without a word. I can’t help but wonder if you are going to do that to me once
you’re bored of me.”
Corinne frowned. “No, I’m not going to leave you.”
For some reason, she found it cute that Jeremy would throw a tantrum just because of something she said casually to Annie.
The stark contrast between his usual serious demeanor made her want to burst out laughing.
Jeremy scoffed. “You’re not going to leave me? Then why did you say I’m your boyfriend? Is it because it’ll be easier for you to
break up with me then?”
Corinne frowned. She had a bone to pick with Jeremy, too. “Look who’s talking! I’m not the one who gave some random girl my
contact details just now!” she said with a scoff.
