The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1077

Corinne paid no mind to what Jason said. She continued eating as though nothing happened.

Jason was not really eating by then. He rested his cheek on his hand and gazed at her seductively until she finished eating.

"I see you're not a picky eater at all, Corinne. The food here isn't really that great, don't you think?"

"You can't expect a homestay restaurant to taste like a three-star Michelin restaurant, can you?" replied Corinne indifferently.

"I'm just giving my objective opinion. The food is really not that great. How about I bring you to an authentic farm-to-table restaurant tomorrow? You'll know what I say is true then."

"Thanks, but no thanks," said Corinne disinterestedly. "We won't be interrupting your holiday now, Mister Jason. Tommy, go pay the bill."

Tommy nodded and went to the counter to pay the bill. However, not only did the waiter refuse to take his money, but he handed over some change to him. "Mister Jason has paid for the food. This is the change."

Tommy frowned. He first looked at Jason before turning to Corinne with a questioning look. 'What should I do now?'

Corinne heard what the waiter said. She gave Jason a side-eye before getting up and saying, "Thanks for the meal. I'll let Jeremy know so he can buy you a meal when he's back."

After that, she and Tommy left the homestay. She knew it would be a waste of time to offer to give the money back to Jason since he would never accept it, so she might as well let Jeremy handle it when he came back.

Once they were outside of the homestay, Corinne immediately smelled clean mountain air. She looked toward the horizon, which quickly brought to mind her childhood.

She had come here before with Mother Cathrina to collect mountain herbs. Together, they walked past this very homestay many times before.

Jason smiled at her. "Yeah. It's so rare to bump into a familiar face here. I was hoping you won't mind me joining you for a drive."

"As a matter of fact, I do mind," said Corinne with a frown.

Any other person would have gotten out of the car in embarrassment, but Jason simply smiled even wider at her. "Oh, come on. Don't be like this, Corinne. Why not see it as a thank you for me treating you to a meal? Also, I'm starting to get bored being by myself…"

"Then why did you come alone?" Corinne asked with a frown.

Jason spread his hands helplessly. "It's not like I wanted to come alone. Pity the single guy."

Corinne frowned. "Oh, please. As if no girls are lining up to be your girlfriend. You only need to crook your finger, and they'll be throwing themselves at you. Not to mention, you could've brought the girl your parents have set you up with for some bonding time."
