The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1313

It took Sunny another hour to redo the questions.

After Corinne went through all his corrections, he was finally allowed to go out for an hour.

Learning from yesterday's mistake, he changed into something he usually wore and went out to meet Xante.

Corinne went back to scrolling through her phone after she supervised Sunny's homework. Jeremy still had not accepted her money or replied to her.

'What is wrong with him? One minute he's hot, and the next he's cold? How can he play dead after saying all those things to me last night?!'

She did not really care whether he replied to her or not, but she really wished he would at least accept the money.

Suddenly, she noticed the message Jason sent her, so she clicked on it.

[Corinne, how are you doing?]

Corinne thought it was weird of him to ask her that. [I'm doing quite well. Why do you ask?]

[Really? You don't have to pretend to be strong, you know. I can go find you if you need a shoulder to cry on.]

[What do you mean? Why would I want to cry?]

This time, it took Jason five minutes to reply. [Oh, it's nothing. I was just worried your mood swings will be worse since your due date is so close now.]

Corinne could not quite put her finger on it, but something was off about the whole conversation.

The moment Sunny swaggered into Xante's office, he saw her staring out at the floor-to-ceiling glass window lost in thought. Thus, he tiptoed over and shouted, "Boo!"

Not only did Sunny fail to scare Xante, but it just added to her impression of how childish he was.

Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses elegantly and asked, "What are you doing here again? Shouldn't you be at home spending time with Corinne?"

"I did that in the morning, so I thought I'd spend time with you now. Do you know how sad I was when you ignored me yesterday? I had to go hungry until dinner, too! But I'm willing to forgive you as long as you have lunch with me today."

Xante glanced at him. "We can have lunch another day. It's more important for you to stay at home with Corinne for the next few days since it's dangerous for her to be left alone."

Sunny did not understand what she was talking about. "What do you mean? Wasn't she frequently alone at home when she was living with you guys too?"
