The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1823

Joey and Bryan knew Jeremy as their father, so as Jeremy beat up Terry, the two boys watched in a mix of astonishment and excitement, occasionally letting out a cheer.

As for Christine, it was her first time meeting Jeremy. Even so, she watched him with a blend of admiration and curiosity.

Corinne, however, watched in her usual calm demeanor. She yawned lazily, thinking that Jeremy was taking too long.

When Terry was left crawling on the ground and unable to get up, Jeremy finally felt a sting in his fists. He pulled a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped his hands before disdainfully tossing it onto the man on the ground.

"The name is Holden, Jeremy Holden. Feel free to find me anytime if you want to have another go with me."

Terry's eyes widened in horror when he heard the name.

'What! Jeremy Holden?! So that woman is his wife? No wonder I couldn't find anything on them. This explains everything! Oh crap, I messed up this time. I should count my blessings that he didn't beat me to a pulp!' he thought.

With the matter settled, Jeremy turned to head toward Corinne's car.

Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind. "Hey, Jeremy! What about this little guy? You're not taking him?"

Jeremy turned to see his longtime friends Zeke and Gerald each stepping out of the other SUVs. Zeke was carrying Benjamin in his arms.

Jeremy was in so much of a hurry to get to Corinne that he had forgotten all about Benjamin.

Jeremy walked up to Zeke and took Benjamin out of his arms. "You two can head back for now. We'll catch up another day."

"Hey, screw you, man! You showed up after missing for three years and asked us to help you find Corinne, and now you're dismissing us without even buying us a meal?" questioned Zeke.

"Well, in that case… Don't mind if I do!" Zeke chuckled, shrugged, and followed Gerald to their cars.

…

After settling Benjamin with the other three kids, Jeremy signaled with his eyes for Corinne to take the passenger seat while he took the driver seat.

Jeremy drove away from the unhappy place. After covering a short distance, he pulled over under a large tree by the roadside.

"Why are we stopping? Did the car run out of gas?" asked Corinne with a frown.

Jeremy did not immediately respond to her question. Instead, he turned and ordered the kids sternly, "Close your eyes, all of you."
