The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 321
“Shut up! I’m driving, so now’s not the time to say anything that’ll anger me. Just wait quietly and I’ll explain everything to you
later. Be a good girl and listen to me, okay?” said Jeremy in a stern but coaxing tone while keeping his eyes focused on the road
ahead.
Corinne frowned and obediently sank back into her seat. A multitude of feelings was roiling inside her as she silently stared out
of the window at the passing scenery.
In the middle section of the Cross River Bridge, a black commercial sedan with double flashing lights was parked on the side of
the road.
Jeremy drove past the car and pulled over. Corinne had no intention to get out of the car, but he still reached over to help her
unbuckle her seat belt.
“What are you waiting for? Get out of the car now!”
She had no choice but to follow him out of the car.
Anya greeted them as soon as the two of them got out of the car. She coughed weakly twice before saying, “Jeremy, you’re
here!”
Jeremy nodded at her. He then turned his attention to Lucas, who was standing by the car, and asked him, “What’s wrong with
your car?”
Lucas patted the front bonnet and said, “The engine might be flooded with water. It stopped working after I drove over some
puddle.”
Jeremy tossed him the keys to his car. “Here, you can use my car to take your sister home first.”
Lucas caught the keys with one hand. His expression was slightly stiff, but then he smiled. “Thank you for coming all the way out
here to help us.”
Then, Lucas took a closer look at Corinne, who was standing quietly by the side. He had to admit he was rather impressed by
how she managed to have Jeremy eating out of the palm of her hand. Jeremy would never have ignored Anya like that in the
past.

“Jeremy, how are you going to get home, then? Why can’t you drive us home instead of giving us the car?” Anya asked
anxiously.
“No can do. The two of us want to take a walk along the bridge, ” said Jeremy. He then patted Corinne pointedly on the head.
Corinne was speechless. ‘What the hell is he talking about? I for sure don’t want to take a walk along the bridge with him,‘ she
thought.
An imperceptible gloom flashed across her eyes after she looked at Corinne and then at Jeremy’s hand. However, she soon put
on her a fake smile and said, “Jeremy, it can get quite windy up here, and Corinne might catch a cold. I think it’s best if we all
leave together in the same car.”
Jeremy took off his coat and put it on Corinne. “It’s okay.
Someone will come to pick us up later. Didn’t you say you’re feeling unwell? Well, don’t just stand there and get in the car
already. Your brother will send you home to rest.”
“But Jeremy...”
Jeremy completely ignored her this time. He turned sideways to look at Corinne. “Let’s go. We need to talk.”
He then put both of his hands on her shoulder and steered her toward the direction of the river.
Anya froze in place. She angrily gritted her teeth as she stared at the two retreating figures. Lucas‘ car broke down because she
deliberately tampered with it when he went down to buy some drinks for her.
She thought that Jeremy would definitely ask Corinne to get out of the car so that he could personally send Anya home first. She
had been known to be weak and sickly, after all. She never imagined that he would actually choose to walk along the bridge with
Corinne and leave her to Lucas‘ care!
“Let’s go, Anya!” Lucas called out to her, snapping her out of her trance.
She nodded obediently, and the two of them walked over to where Jeremy’s sports car was parked. Sitting in the car, she still
had not given up, so she sent him a message.
[Jeremy, I’m sorry to make you come all the way here. Did I make Corinne unhappy again? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. It’s just
that I was feeling really sick just now. Can you please help me explain it to her? I’m really worried she might get angry at me

again.]
Jeremy’s phone beeped twice.
Corinne glanced at the message notification on the screen and threw the phone to Jeremy.
“Mister, your precious Anya just texted you.”
