The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1278

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind them. "What are you guys talking about?"

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Jeremy walking steadily toward them.

Zeke smiled and quickly said, "Jeremy, you're finally here! We were just joking around with Corinne."

Gerald glanced at Zeke. "He said he doesn't want to marry you, but he doesn't mind screwing you after a drink or two."

Jeremy frowned and looked at Zeke in disgust.

Zeke chuckled awkwardly before glaring at Gerald while getting up from the sofa to let Jeremy take his place.

"Gerald, why did you do me dirty like that? I didn't say the last sentence at all!" complained Zeke.

"You didn't say that, but we all know you were thinking about it," said Gerald expressionlessly.

"You're a real *sshole, you know that, Gerald?" asked Zeke as he sat back down beside him.

Even though Zeke vacated his previous seat so that Jeremy could sit down next to Corinne, Jeremy chose to sit on an armchair that was a little bit further away instead.

It was nothing aggressive, but somehow it caused the temperature in the room to suddenly drop. Zeke and Gerald exchanged glances with each other.

At that moment, Jason stood up with a smile and went to sit beside Corinne. He took away the glass of cold juice in her hand and said softly, "You shouldn't drink anything cold. I'll get the waiter to get you a cup of warm milk later."

Corinne nodded and thanked him.

Jason looked worriedly at Corinne. He got up to follow her a few seconds later, but he had not even taken a step before Jeremy stopped him.

"Jason."

Jason paused and turned back to smile at him. "Yes, Jeremy? How can I help you?"

Jeremy narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he finally said, "Nothing."

Peeved, Jason said nothing. He turned back around to look at Corinne, but she was already gone. He looked around for her, but all he could see were the other guests milling about. Thus, he had no choice but to sit back down.

Jeremy's expression remained impassive. No one knew what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he gulped down his wine and stood up.
