The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1834

While Corinne was a full-grown adult, she still blushed at what Jeremy said.

"Can you, for once, have some decency?" she asked as she thumped his chest.

"Why should I have some decency when dealing with you?" retorted Jeremy with a smirk.

Corinne's eyelashes fluttered. "Stop! Don't make me worry about you," she said as she tried to push him away.

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "Why do you need to worry about me?"

"Um… Your legs have just recovered not that long ago, so…it's best if you don't do any vigorous exercise," answered Corinne bashfully.

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and pushed away the baby hair on her forehead. "You don't miss me?"

Corinne was no nun. "I do, but we have plenty of time to catch up with each other."

Jeremy stared at her for a while before rolling over and lying down next to her. He then interlocked his fingers with hers.

"Okay. Let's save this for another day, then."

…

That night, the entire mansion was filled with lively cheers as the Holdens sat down for the reunion dinner. As Francine's future husband, Chester was asked to stay for dinner as well.

Little did they know, Sophia was watching them from a black sedan outside the mansion, and she was not happy.

After dinner, Jeremy busied himself in his study. Corinne and the kids were already fast asleep by the time he went back to the bedroom.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough, or it would not have fit an adult and four kids.

Jeremy walked over to the bed and bent down to pull the blanket—which was kicked off—up over the kids. After that, he sat next to the fast-asleep Corinne and stroked her cheek.

It did not take much for him to imagine how difficult it must have been for her over the last three years. He had a lot to make up for.

Corinne must have sensed his presence because she frowned and slowly opened her eyes to look at him.

It was sunny the next day.

By the time she woke up, Corinne realized she was the only one in bed. All the kids were gone.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall…only to realize that it was 10 a.m.!

'Why didn't anyone wake me up?!'

She quickly washed up and changed her clothes.

The moment she got downstairs, she saw Francine and the servants playing a kite with the kids outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.

All her worries left her when she saw the kids safe and sound.

"Corinne, you're up!"
