The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1390

Lucas was genuinely impressed by Sunny's resolution, which was very rare indeed.

"Okay. You get yourself ready, then. I'll arrange for your departure after Corinne gives birth to the baby."

"Okay. Thanks, Lucas!" said Sunny with a nod. He then went upstairs with a newfound kind of determination.

'That kid is finally growing up,' mused Lucas as he watched Sunny leave.

…

Corinne was in her room patting Joey to sleep. She would glance at her phone from time to time, even though she knew it would be impossible for Jeremy to land so soon.

Somehow, she dozed off.

When she woke up the next day, there was still no news from Jeremy. Thus, she spent the whole day distracted.

It was not until evening that she received a call from Jeremy.

"I've just landed. Have you eaten?" he asked.

Corinne breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of Jeremy's voice. "Yeah. All three meals. How about you?"

Jeremy sounded like he was walking. "Yeah. I had airplane food. It was disgusting, even though I was in first class."

Corinne had waited for the whole day for him to call, yet she found herself with nothing to say to him.

"I have to go now. Make sure you eat well these few days. I'll bring you a gift when I'm back," said Jeremy.

Jeremy only called to tell her he had landed safely. As much as he wanted to talk to her more, he knew he had more pressing matters to complete, and time was of the essence.

"Wait!" shouted Corinne just as Jeremy was about to hang up.

"What's the matter? Do you still have something to say to me?" asked Jeremy coyly.

Corinne's lips twitched. 'That means we have to talk for three hours? Well, that's going to be awkward…'

Not knowing what they could talk about, Corinne decided to play Jeremy a song on her music player.

"Mister, name a song."

"Why? Are you going to sing for me?" asked Jeremy happily.

Corinne chuckled drily. "No. I'm going to play you a song. I never sing for free, and my fee is very expensive."

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "How much for you to sing a song? I'll see if I can afford it."

Corinne scoffed. "I'm not going to sing for you even if you have the money. The only way you can make me sing for you is when you come home and give me the money personally."

Jeremy laughed and said jokingly, "You little gold-digger."
