The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1198

Sophia noticed the change in Jeremy's emotions and became more curious about Moon. "Why are you still hesitating, Miss Moon?"

Corinne gritted her teeth and took off the black mask on her face to reveal what she looked like. Her face was unusually wrinkled, and the only bright part of her was her eyes. She had a flat nose, thick lips, and a squarish face. It was the very definition of unsightly.

Sophia was taken aback by the scars and immediately understood why Moon covered herself up like that. She was, no doubt, hideous.

The flicker in Jeremy's eyes disappeared, and he looked ashen.

Corinne's expression remained. "Happy now?"

Sophia asked sympathetically. "How did those scars happen?"

Corinne's face seemed to have been injured before. The wrinkled skin seemed like burns.

She put on her hat and mask before saying, "It happened after a fire. That was why I didn't want to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the first place. It wasn't because I didn't want to show any courtesy to Holden Group but because my appearance might scare other people."

The fake face was the ugliest that Jason chose, and it was effective in bluffing them.

Sophia felt bad for Corinne and muttered, "Umm... I'm sorry. I didn't know it was like that. I was a bit too harsh on you earlier."

Corinne did not hold it against Sophia as there was no point in doing so. She just wanted to leave as soon as she could.

"Don't worry about it. Can I go now?"

Fortunately, she could be somewhat at ease as Jeremy did not notice anything strange about the fake face she was wearing.

Sophia felt that her attitude had hurt Moon's self-esteem, so she wanted to make it up to Moon by comforting the latter over a meal. As a woman, she understood how important looks were to a woman, and she knew the extent of the emotional damage that resulted from disfigurement.

They settled on a restaurant near the Holden Group's new building. Jeremy and Sophia sat together, while Corinne sat opposite them. While they were ordering, Jeremy handed her the menu in a very gentlemanly manner.

Corinne took the menu from him and deliberately ordered some of her least favorite foods to avoid any suspicion.

Once Corinne was done ordering, she handed back the menu to Jeremy. He took it from her and ordered what he wanted before handing the menu to Sophia.
