The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1174

Sunny felt embarrassed at the mention of his amateur hacker league. Scratching his head, he said, "Most of the hackers in the league are high-school students, so they're only starting out. I wouldn't have asked you for help if I knew they could do it. Please, Xante. Help me out this one time."

Xante pinched the bridge of her nose, thinking, 'Oh, how did I ever get saddled with this teenager?'

It was already late in the night when Jeremy got home. Everyone, apart from the household staff working the night shift, was asleep.

The maid went up to take Jeremy's coat off him. She knew he had just come back from abroad that day. Considering the time difference, she asked, "Mister Jeremy, have you eaten? Should I cook something for you?"

Jeremy simply waved her away tiredly before going upstairs.

When he entered his bedroom, he became even more overwhelmed with loss the moment his nose was hit by Corinne's familiar scent. The smell of her shampoo lingering in the air meant she had taken a shower and blow-dried her hair before leaving this morning.

'She must've planned her escape down to the last detail since she even had the time to take a shower before she went,' thought Jeremy.

He was about to go take a shower to cool himself down when he heard a noise coming from the bed.

The person on the bed, who seemed to be fast asleep, rolled to the other side. If he listened closely, he could hear the sound of quiet snoring.

He stopped walking in shock and stared intently at the person on the bed. The person was curled up and hugging a pillow…dressed in Corinne's pajamas!

His eyes darkened when he saw Sophia's face.

"Why are you sleeping here?" he asked after standing up.

Sophia rubbed her eyes sleepily. "Grandpa arranged for me to sleep in Francine's room, but she kept squeezing me out of the bed. I had no choice but to sleep here," she explained in a tone that showed she was not aware she had done anything wrong.

"Get out," ordered Jeremy coldly. It was obvious he was not happy. "You can sleep in any room you want except for this one!"

Sophia shrugged unhappily. "Why not? Miss Corinne isn't here, and it's not like I'm sleeping on the same bed as you. Why can't I sleep here? Anyway, you know I can't sleep in a guest room, right? Plus, even if she's here, I really don't think Miss Corinne would mind if I sleep here for the night."
