The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Thus, Jeremy asked Corinne to eat more.
Corinne frowned as she watched Jeremy leave with Joey. ‘Well, I guess I have some more room in my tummy, so I might as well
eat more.’
The personal chef in the summer villa was quite skilled at cooking so she heartily enjoyed the food. However, what she did not
enjoy was Lucas staring at her eating from across the table.
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he watched Jeremy leave the dining room. Being a smart cookie, he quickly understood Jeremy did
that to give him some time with Corinne.
‘He might come off as cold most of the time, but he can be quite thoughtful. It’s either that, or...he’s just paving the road to call in
a favor in the future when I become his brother-in-law.’
“Corinne, do you have anything else you’d like to eat? I can ask Edmund to buy it for you,” said Lucas with concern.Books

However, Corinne did not appreciate his concern at all. She frowned and gave him a warning look. “No, thanks. Mister Lucas, I
know you’re trying to make up for all the hurtful things you did to me before, but I’d much prefer it if you stop being overly
concerned with me.”
Lucas sighed with dismay. “Fine. I’ll try to keep that in mind...”
Corinne took a bite of her sandwich and, while chewing, suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, Mister Lucas, did something happen in the past that caused Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald to hold a grudge toward
Jason?” she asked with a raise of her eyebrow.
Lucas was quite taken aback by her question. “Why do you ask?”
“Before you came in, Jeremy and Jason were having a go at each other. There was even mention of Jason breaking up
somebody’s relationship... I was wondering if you knew anything about it. If you do, can you tell me about it?”
Even though Lucas would not call Jason his best friend, they were still friends. He thought it would not be appropriate for him to
comment on his friend’s personal life.
“Corinne, you’re a girl. It’s best not to meddle in us men’s affairs,” said Lucas.

Corinne’s hopeful expression fell. She then scoffed and said nothing more.
Lucas started to panic a little when he saw her reaction. ‘D*mnit! I’ve made her angry again... And just when she decided to
strike up a conversation first.’
After some hesitation, he made up his mind to tell Corinne about what happened in the past. However, just as he opened his
mouth, they heard Phoebe’s wails coming from outside the dining room.
“Jeremy, please! Can’t you think of something to get Anya out? Won’t you do it for old time’s sake? You have my word that she
won’t come between you and Miss Corinne anymore. Please! I beg you...”
“Old time’s sake? You mean how she lied to me for more than ten years? There were no feelings to begin with! Miss Phoebe,
seeing as you’re my elder, I’ve actually restrained myself from saying more hurtful things, so I hope you won’t push your luck,”
said Jeremy coldly.
“But Anya is innocent. She loves you so, so, so much!”
“You should be thankful I didn’t pursue the matter when I found out you two lied to me. You dare ask me for a favor?”
