The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jeremy was stunned. He turned to look at her with an indecipherable emotion flashing in his eyes. He then took out his phone
and shoved it into her palm. “Take a look and find out for yourself why I gave her my contact details!”
Corinne thought she might as well since he volunteered to let her go through his phone.
Jeremy had indeed accepted the girl’s friend request invitation. After that, the girl sent him a lot of photos and a link, but he did
not reply.
Corinne blushed with embarrassment after she looked at the photos and link.
“That girl is Annie’s classmate. She’s now working at a high-end postpartum care center and heard from Annie that you’re
pregnant. She asked me whether I’d be interested in their services. She’d send me the photos and details before I proceed with
the booking. I thought you might need it, so I agreed to exchange contact details with her.”
Corinne fell silent.
“Even though you’re still far off from the due date, I thought it might be best I learn more about postpartum care since this is the
first time I came across all this...” Jeremy added unhappily.
Corinne remained silent. ‘How should I know that the girl was just trying to get some business?’ she thought while twiddling her
thumb with her head down.
Seeing this, Jeremy frowned and lifted up her chin. “Is this why you ignored me and sat next to Jason?”
Corinne pouted. “I thought...”
Jeremy scoffed angrily. “You thought I was flirting with another girl behind your back, right?”
Corinne did not deny that. “Looking at the situation, anyone would’ve thought the same thing! I’m sorry. I should’ve trusted you
more. I promise I won’t make the same mistake anymore.”
Jeremy did not feel vindicated at all. Instead, he held her face in his hands. “I’m not doing this so you’ll apologize to me, little
rascal. I just want you to remember to talk to me if you see me doing something you don’t like. This way, there won’t be any
misunderstanding between us, okay?”
Corinne nodded. “Okay...”

Jeremy’s heart softened when he saw how pitiful she looked. He brushed her cheek softly and cooed, “But you did do something
well today. You remembered not to drink anything another man gave you.”
He was talking about the glass of juice Jason gave her, which she immediately put down without taking a sip.
Corinne pouted. “That’s ’cause I wasn’t thirsty then.”
Jeremy knew she was just being stubborn, so he pretended to be angry. “Where’s the good girl from before?” he asked with a
raised eyebrow.
Corinne smiled and decided to let the matter rest. ‘I might as well take this opportunity to ask him about the marriage certificate
since he’s told me I can ask him anything...’
“Mister, why don’t you want to get legally married to me?”
Jeremy’s face darkened at the question. After two seconds of silence, he finally answered, “I do want to get legally married to
you.”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Then why do you always avoid the topic whenever I bring it up?”
Jeremy looked at her. His mouth parted a little before it shut closed again. After thinking over it, he decided not to tell her the real
reason. “Just give me a bit more time, okay, little rascal?”
Even though Corinne really wanted to know his reason, she could tell it was difficult for him to tell her. Not wanting to upset him,
she just said, “Okay.”
