The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne's chastising stopped Lucas from making any further remarks about Jeremy, but he did make a point to tease her, "You're quick to jump to his defense."
Corinne snorted. "Well, he is my husband. Defending him is the right thing to do!"
Corinne's animated response suggested that she was unharmed and that there was nothing for Lucas to worry about. "Fine. I'll praise him for his noble actions. Are you happy now?" "That's more like it. Don't you make things difficult for him!" Corinne said.
Lucas felt that he had been wrongly accused. "My dear sister, you overestimate me. I never will and never have made things difficult for him. If anything, he didn't even give me a chance to settle scores with him after what he did."
"That can't be helped," Corinne said. "You still have a long way to go if you want to catch up to him."
Lucas responded in exasperation, "Wow, how ungrateful of you. How could you care more about your man than your brother? Sigh, I won't argue with you about this anymore. Shall I come over to and offer up some words of comfort to my precious brother-in-law?"
Corinne declined. "You can do it another day. I'll choose a time for you to treat him to dinner."
Lucas then said, "Do you have to be so mean to me? Why do I have to go along with your timing when I'm the one treating him to dinner?"
Corinne cocked her eyebrows. "If you don't want to, so be it. We'll be busy anyway."
Lucas quickly changed his tune. "I never said I didn't want to! I'm super thankful that you've taken the courtesy of choosing a time for me. I'll be at your beck and call."
Corinne smiled and said, "Perfect! You'll hear from me soon." She then ended the call.
Over at the other end, Lucas could only shake his head helplessly. 'Sigh! Corinne only has Jeremy's best interests in mind! How ungrateful of her.'
Jeremy dismissed his subordinates and approached Corinne with more than a dozen of the highest-quality supplements. "Did Lucas call?"
Corinne nodded. "He knows about what happened earlier. He said he wanted to come over, but I told him no."
Jeremy smiled and followed her to the elevator. "Why not? Isn't it a good thing that he can visit his mother with us?"
Corinne frowned. "No."
The elevator door opened.
Jeremy entered with her and asked, "Why?"

Jeremy roughly understood the situation. "Let's treat your brother to a meal some other day, then. He's been helping me a lot from behind the shadows."
Corinne nodded. "I told him that too, but I asked him to treat us instead of the
other way
around."
Jeremy smiled. "You seem to be very protective of me."
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "If you're not happy about that, I can always tell him that you insist on treating him to a meal."
