The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1098

Jeremy stroked Corinne's head adoringly as he spoke.

Phoebe was speechless, but not wanting to give up, she showed him the pajamas and underwear she picked up from under the bed.

"Don't be fooled by her, Jeremy. She's cheating on you! Look. I found these under the bed. She must be afraid of you finding out, so she hid them under the bed."

Jeremy glanced at the clothes that Corinne would only wear in private before snatching them. "I took them off her. We were just doing a little catch-up last night. Surely that's allowed, right?" he said calmly.

Corinne covered her face with her hands. 'God, this is so embarrassing! How can I ever show my face around these people anymore?' she thought, her lips trembling. 'Ugh! Jeremy shouldn't have said everything, too! Has he no shame?'

Jason narrowed his eyes, which seemed to be dimming by the second.

"Oh, I see… Well, if that's the case…" said Phoebe, fumbling for words.

"There's no if," said Jeremy, his eyebrow raising sharply.

Under Jeremy's intimidating stare, Phoebe's excitement turned to fear. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you came, either. It's my fault for not getting my facts right."

Not wanting to waste any more time on this matter, Jeremy simply uttered two words coldly, "Get lost."

Phoebe nodded and quickly escaped out of the room, pulling Joey—who had no idea what was going on—out with her.

"Let's get out of here, Joey!" she said.

"Wait," uttered Jeremy authoritatively.

Joey's eyes lit up with the sweet taste of freedom. He toddled over to Jeremy, which he had not seen for a long time, and looked up at him with worship in his eyes. "Dada!"

"Hey there, little guy," said Jeremy while bending down to pat his head.

He was actually not that close to Joey. It was Anya who did most of the caretaking after Joey was adopted. In fact, Jeremy would only go over to see him when Anya asked him to come over with one excuse or another.

"Jeremy, when did you get here?" asked Jason casually.

Jeremy looked at his friend emotionlessly. "Early this morning."

Jason smiled. "I see you're still the same as always. You don't ever tell us when you're leaving or when you're coming back. We could've given you a proper send-off and a welcome-back, you know."
