The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1277

'Mutual friends? Since when do we have mutual friends?' wondered Corinne.

"You know what, it's fine, Miss Sophia. You should hang out with your other guests. I can just walk around by myself."

However, Sophia did not want to let her go. "No, that won't do. You shouldn't stay on your feet for too long since you're pregnant. Come, let's sit over there and I'll get the waiter to get you something to eat and drink."

As much as Corinne did not like Sophia, she thought it would be rude to keep turning her down on her birthday. She had no choice but to follow her to where she pointed.

Sophia brought her over to the VIP area where three men were already sitting on the sofa.

Zeke, with a glass in his hand, was regaling Gerald and Jason with a funny story but stopped when he saw Sophia and Corinne coming over.

He narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "Well, well! If it isn't the woman who dumped Jeremy and ran away with his baby."

Corinne glanced at him and said nothing.

Gerald was surprised to see her there, too. He gave her a customary nod as a greeting.

As for Jason, he smiled mischievously the moment he saw Corinne.

"Corinne, I trust that you know each other already. Why don't you take a seat here? I'll get the waiter to bring you something to eat," said Sophia.

Not feeling awkward at the slightest, Corinne sat on an empty sofa.

"Guys, please take care of Corinne for me while I go greet the other guests," said Sophia with a smile to Zeke and the others.

Zeke smirked and raised his glass. "Sure thing! This'll be a perfect opportunity to catch up with each other. After all, it's been a while since we last saw you, right, Corinne?"

Corinne continued to ignore him.

"You didn't dump him? Then why did you run away in secret?" asked Zeke with great interest.

"I didn't run away in secret either. I left the mansion in broad daylight."

"Fine, say you left the mansion in broad daylight, but why? Why did you do that? Why would you throw away your chance of being the wife of a rich and powerful man?"

Corinne smiled. "What's so good about being the wife of a rich and powerful man?"

Zeke smiled, too. "What's good about that? I think it'll be more accurate to say what's not good about being the wife of a rich and powerful man! Do you know how many women want to marry Jeremy?"

Corinne scoffed. "You sound like you want to be his wife too! I'm pretty sure he'll make your wish come true if you just tell him. After all, you guys have been friends for so long."

Zeke's smile froze. After that, he covered his chest and said, "You must be joking! I'm straight, okay?! No way am I going to marry him even if he wants to!"
