The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1176

Sophia put her hand on the balcony railing and fluttered her eyelashes at Jeremy. "I'm just saying 'if'! I mean, would you take another woman as your wife if you can't find Miss Corinne?"

"There's no 'if' in this matter."

Sophia pouted. "What a spoilsport! There's no harm in imagining a different scenario."

Jeremy glanced at her. "Just what are you trying to say here?"

Sophia beamed at him. "What I'm trying to say is… If you can't find Miss Corinne, I'll be willing to live with you as a partner. I mean, we're already legally married abroad, so that makes us husband and wife too, right?"

Indeed, they had gotten legally married abroad. Back then, Greg refused to undergo a life-saving surgery unless Jeremy got married. Thus, to appease his grandfather, he decided to find a woman to go through a fake marriage with him.

He chose Sophia because they had known each other for a long time, and there was no drama between them so he asked her to help him. After they got legally married abroad, Jeremy took the marriage certificate back to New Capital City to show Greg.

Jeremy thought Sophia would readily agree to the 'divorce', but she refused to cooperate with him unless she was given some sort of compensation. She said her prospect of finding another partner in the future had been greatly diminished since she would have to carry the stigma of being a divorcee.

Jeremy knew that, so he agreed to compensate her. The tricky part was that Sophia did not want compensation in the form of money. What she really wanted was for him to stay with her in Molomia for a month, then she would agree to the divorce.

Since he happened to have a new project in Molomia that required him to personally oversee the kickoff, he agreed to stay with her. However, things obviously did not go according to his plan.
