The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1520

Corinne did not know how to answer Jeremy. 'Glad to see he's as annoying as ever,' she thought sarcastically.

Jeremy's eyes suddenly turned sharp as he heard footsteps coming from outside the bedroom.

"She's coming. You better go now. I promise I won't do anything the next time you want to strangle me to death," urged Jeremy.

Corinne, too, heard the approaching footsteps, but she was in no hurry to leave.

"Okay. I'll do that when you've regained your memory."

The doorknob was already turning when she said that.

There was no doubt about it—Sophia was coming in!

Jeremy turned to look at the door and then at Corinne, but she was already gone. All that was left in her place was a cool breeze blowing in from the open window.

When Sophia walked in, all she saw was Jeremy leaning against the headboard.

She turned on the lights and asked curiously, "Zachary, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Jeremy looked up at her calmly. "Why aren't you sleeping either? Why did you come in here?"

"I've come to see if Benjamin's blanket has fallen off. You know he has a habit of kicking off his blanket. I'm worried he'll catch a cold since the weather's been colder than normal for the past two days," replied Sophia.

"I see. That's very thoughtful of you."

Jeremy nodded. "I know. But I've already caused you enough burden as it is with my useless legs, so I really don't want to add any more to that."

Sophia grabbed his hand. "You're not a burden at all, Zachary! I love you, and that means I'll be more than happy to do anything for you. You don't have to feel ashamed about your body. I promise I'm going to get the best doctor to help you walk again!"

Jeremy gently pulled back his hand and straightened 'Benjamin's' blanket. "Thank you. I understand where you're coming from, but now it's not the time to talk about these things. You should go back to sleep, Sophia. We don't want to wake Benjamin, do we?"

In the end, he was still as distant to her as ever.

Sophia was crestfallen. For some reason, she could not shake the anxiety that gripped her moments before. She tossed and turned in her bed. Failing to fall asleep, she decided to check on Benjamin, only to find him awake as well.

She was more than willing to sleep in the same room as him, even if he could not do the deed. However, Jeremy did not want to, giving her the reason that it would bother their son's sleep.
