The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne gazed at Jason for a while before giving him a superficial smile. “I couldn’t agree more. It’s so much of a coincidence
that I can’t help but think this was planned.”
Jason put his cheek on his hand and looked at Corinne flirtatiously. “You’re overthinking this. I really didn’t know you were going
to be here.”
“Is that so?” uttered Corinne curtly. She was not interested in what he was doing there, so she did not continue the conversation
any further. Instead, she picked up her cup to drink the free coffee provided by the homestay.
However, Jason snatched the cup before it even got close to her lips.
Stunned, Corinne looked up at Jason unhappily. “What did you do that for?”
Jason took a sip from the cup of coffee he took from Corinne. “You’re pregnant. You shouldn’t drink any coffee.”
Corinne frowned. “It’s perfectly fine to have just a little!”
Jason shook his head. “Nope, you can’t even have a little. Drink some water if you’re thirsty. Best to avoid tea and coffee if you
can help it.”
Corinne was speechless. ‘This jerk is as meddlesome as ever!’ However, her annoyance quickly morphed into sadness. ‘Jeremy
should be the one reminding me not to drink anything with caffeine, yet he’s not here...’
At that moment, the waiter placed two local dishes on the table.
Corinne snapped out of her trance and picked up her utensils.
“May I join you?” asked Jason politely.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “If I say no, will you go away?”
Jason smiled and shook his head. “Nope.”
Corinne scoffed. “Then you might as well don’t ask.”
To this, Jason simply picked up his fork to take a bite out of each dish.
Tommy came out from the kitchen after all the food had been served.

“Mister Jason, what are you doing here?” he asked with surprise when he saw him sitting across from Corinne.
“I’m here on holiday,” replied Jason with a smile.
“You came here to have a holiday?” repeated Tommy with disbelief.
Jason nodded. “I got bored of all the usual places, so I thought I’d come to experience what the locals have to offer. This holiday
is a reward I gave myself for working really hard to the point of getting a burnout for the past few months. Corinne and I were just
talking about what a coincidence for us to meet each other here.”
Tommy nodded suspiciously. “I see. It does sound much like a coincidence.”
“By the way, I heard Jeremy is out of the country?” he asked nonchalantly while picking up the food from the plates.
“Yes. He’s currently taking care of business abroad,” replied Tommy.
Jason smiled. “I see. I was wondering why Corinne is here alone.”
Tommy was speechless. ‘Why does it sound like he’s blaming Mister Jeremy for not being here with Ma’am?’
