The Day I Kissed An Older Man

‘Heh! I was right. All he cares about is the baby in my belly. He’s worried something bad will happen to the kid. What a
worrywart!’ thought Corinne.
As the baby’s mother, Corinne would never let anything bad happen or let Jeremy have anything to do with him or her.
Corinne walked around Tommy, but he quickly ran up and stopped her again. “Miss Corinne...”
“Get lost!” roared Corinne impatiently.
It was only then Tommy backed away in fright, allowing her to get into the car Xante arranged for her.
However, Tommy was not about to give up that easily. He ran up to the driver’s side of the car and said something to the driver.
The next second, Corinne saw the driver get out of the car to let him in.
Corinne was speechless. At that point, she was too lazy to deal with Tommy, so she let him have his way. ‘Who cares who the
driver is? As long as I get to the party safely.’
...
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Heartland Hotel. The valet respectfully opened the car door and helped Corinne out of
the car.
Tommy got out of the car too and handed the keys to the valet before quickly following Corinne into the hotel.
Corinne had to walk slowly because of her baby bum, so Tommy walked slowly alongside her as though afraid she would
suddenly slip and fall.
The party was already in full swing by the time Corinne arrived. However, she paid no attention to the guests and instead
focused her eyes on the paintings on the wall to look for Nellie Nymphaea’s painting.
“Corinne!” someone called out her name
Knowing it was Sophia, Corinne did not bother to turn to her. Instead, she kept her eyes trained on the walls.
Sophia walked up to her with a smile. “Hey, Corinne! So glad you could make it! I knew you wouldn’t have the heart to turn me
down.”

Corinne simply smiled at her and said nothing. ‘I didn’t come here for you. I came here for my mother’s painting! I must say,
though, Sophia’s good at pretending she’s happy to see me here.’
Sophia looked at Tommy, who was behind Corinne, before looking to the left and to the right. “Corinne, didn’t Jeremy come with
you?”
‘What an interesting and laughable question. Why would she, his legally married wife, ask me, an outsider, where her husband
is?’ thought Corinne mockingly.
Corinne smiled and said, “How would I know whether he has come or not? You should call him yourself if you want to know
where he is.”
Sophia’s brilliant smile never faltered. “You’re right! I’ll do that in a minute!”
“Miss Sophia, there’s no need to call Mister Jeremy. He’s busy right now, so he’ll come later,” explained Tommy.
“Oh, I see,” said Sophia with a nod. “If that’s the case, shall we go meet some of our mutual friends, Corinne?”
