The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1162

Lucas scoffed. "I shouldn't have let Corinne marry Jeremy!"

Jason patted Lucas' shoulder again. "Come now. You don't want to hurt your foot again, so just wait here patiently. I'll go look for Corinne on your behalf."

After that, he strolled out of the office nonchalantly.

Frowning, Lucas watched him as he left before sighing helplessly.

'I must make Corinne come back home once she's found so that she'll never have to suffer under Jeremy's rule again.'

…

Jeremy rushed back home as soon as his plane landed at midnight. He did not even bother to greet his grandparents before going upstairs to his room to look for clues.

Even though Corinne was nowhere to be seen, the bedroom was still filled with the lingering scent of her favorite shampoo.

Jeremy opened the wardrobe and noted she did not take any clothes with her at all.

'She left without saying goodbye again? But why?' He punched the wardrobe door.

The noise brought Francine—who had been awake all the while—to the room.

Seeing the anguish on Jeremy's face, Francine cautiously greeted, "Jeremy, you're back."

He turned toward Francine. "Did she say anything to you before she went missing?"

Surprised by the strange woman who suddenly appeared, Francine looked up and down at Sophia. 'Judging by the way she's dressed, she doesn't look like she's from around here.'

"Jeremy, who's this?" she asked warily.

Before Jeremy said anything, Sophia walked up to her with a smile and introduced herself brightly. "Hello. I'm Sophia. You must be Francine. Your brother has told me so much about you."

Francine frowned. "Are you close with Jeremy? What are you doing at our home?"

"Yeah, we're pretty close. We go way back."

Francine looked at her with alarm. 'If she's close with Jeremy, how come he has never mentioned her? Could she be the reason why Jeremy fought with Corinne a few nights ago?'
